NewJeans' fans are expressing growing concern over the group's future as the internal conflict within HYBE continues to grow. Moreover, the future of NewJeans seems bleak as the girls even took to their own hands to speak up for former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin during a sudden live stream.

There has also been increasing speculation that HYBE has decided to neglect NewJeans following the dismissal of former CEO Min Hee Jin. The speculation had more credence when there was a claim that the new CEO brushed off Hanni's complaint about mistreatment.

On September 11, a netizen highlighted previous posts from 'Blind,' an anonymous online community where users can post after verifying their company employment. In the online community, several HYBE employees were seen mocking and bad-mouthing NewJeans, causing netizens to believe that NewJeans were indeed being ostracized by HYBE employees.

Translation: "HYBE employees can’t even comfortably enjoy their lunch of Kalguksu because they're worried about upsetting ADOR."/ "Let's have a Kalguksu party during today's lunch."

HYBE employees were seen mocking Minji's past remark about Kalguksu and leaving comments poking fun at the situation between HYBE and ADOR.

Following this latest controversy, Korean netizens continued to express concern and discuss about the tension between the two labels.

Korean netizens commented:

"There have been so many incidents in the past that it seems impossible to dismiss this as fake."

"Oh right, there was also that anti-fan account."

"Didn't they just gloss over the fact that a HYBE staff member followed an anti-NewJeans account without explaining it?"

"But I don't get why they hate them so much. Honestly, if it were the executives, I could understand, but these regular employees? They don't even have anything to be bitter about. Executives might have excuses related to interests or conflicts of interest, but these people? Honestly, aren't they just making a living off the money NewJeans brings in?"

"Ignoring the fact that they followed an anti-fan account but then pretending everything's fine is pretty disgusting."

"It's true NewJeans is getting bullied at work, wow."

"Are the employees at the company really bullying them? That's so messed up, haha."

"Honestly, it sounds too absurd to believe, but it seems to be true, so I have no words. Even kindergarteners wouldn't act this childish."

"Wow, but the employees at that company really seem trashy and cheap, haha."
