Netizens are labeling Dispatch’s involvement in the controversy surrounding Min Hee Jin and NewJeans as "downright stalking."
On online forums, users have been reacting to Dispatch’s recent exclusive report accusing Min Hee Jin of influencing NewJeans’ alleged decision to leave ADOR and HYBE. The report included photos of Min Hee Jin interacting privately with NewJeans' Hanni on October 8 before her attendance at the National Assembly, sparking accusations of inappropriate behavior by the media outlet.
Many netizens argue that this behavior constitutes "grounds for taking legal action" against Dispatch. They criticize the outlet for "stalking" a group that includes underage members and a non-celebrity figure like Min Hee Jin.
Some are accusing Dispatch of working underhandedly with HYBE to produce exclusive stories, asserting that the outlet has never targeted minors or non-celebrities this aggressively before.
Here are some of the reactions:
"They need to file a lawsuit..."
"File a lawsuit, seriously."
"This is actual stalking."
"Why isn’t stalking prohibited?"
"This is definitely grounds for a lawsuit."
"Why are they following a former employee who’s now just a regular person? That’s so creepy."
"Are they crazy? They’re blatantly acting as HYBE’s henchmen."
"Are these people insane? There are minors involved."
"There are minors involved, what are they even doing? Have they lost it?"
"This is seriously so scary... doing this to a regular person?"
"Please, just stop already."
"Doing this to a regular person is just..."
"Isn’t stalking a crime?"
"Go after politicians or something, you lapdogs of power."
"Wasn’t it Dispatch who got exposed for following someone by a taxi driver?"
"How much money did they even take from HYBE?"
"Is stalking considered a profession now?"
"Wow, this is terrifying."
"This is definitely a stalking crime now, haha."
"Min Hee Jin had no choice but to go public, but she’s just a regular person now..."
"They need to report this for stalking. Who do they think they are? The public’s right to know should only apply to uncovering shady politicians."
"They literally published an article admitting they were the ones tailing people. Amazing."
"If they’re following NewJeans members to this extent, are they also following their families?"
"There are minors involved, so why are they harassing them like this? It’s truly malicious."
