BIGHIT MUSIC has issued an official pronouncement concerning BTS's Jungkook's recent Instagram endeavors, igniting a wave of intrigue within the K-pop realm. On September 14th, Jungkook, with a heartfelt gesture, shared a snapshot on his beloved pet Bam's dedicated Instagram page, accompanied by five vibrant hearts mirroring the hues of NewJeans' members and a poignant message in English: "Artists are not guilty." This subtle alignment sparked widespread speculation that the post served as a solidarity message to NewJeans amidst their tumultuous public spat with HYBE Entertainment.
Hours later, the drama escalated as Jungkook added another layer to the narrative, posting on Bam's account a terse yet powerful message: "Don't use them." These words resonated deeply, underscoring a sense of protectiveness and outrage towards the exploitation of young artists.
Promptly, BIGHIT MUSIC stepped forward to clarify, affirming after a thorough conversation with Jungkook, "We have verified that his actions stemmed from a genuine belief that young artists, regardless of the circumstances, should never be ensnared in disputes or utilized as pawns. His intentions were pure, aimed at safeguarding the innocence and integrity of those in the creative industry."
Earlier in the week, the NewJeans members boldly took to YouTube for a live broadcast, addressing HYBE head-on and issuing an urgent plea for the reinstatement of Min Hee Jin as ADOR's CEO by September 25th. This bold move not only highlighted their unwavering spirit but also underscored the depth of their commitment to justice and fair treatment within the industry.
