-I'm not even a fan, but I think the potato is the cutest.

-Is it because I'm a fan of another group...? But the potato is super cute to meㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's big and its eyes are so prettyㅋㅋㅋㅋ I guess the fans were disappointed...ㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠ

-The potato looks cute, thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Since the characters were drawn by the members, they become meaningful. Therefore fans came to accept and like it. But that doesn't change the fact that they still look ugly.

-Huh? What's so ugly about it? All these characters look really cute, though?

-After looking at all the characters, the potato really does stand outㅋㅋㅋ I thought it was a peanut at first.

-I thought it was ugly... But since Mingyu drew it, there's nothing I can doㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Hul... The potato is the cutest out of all the other characters. What's with these reactions?

-The potato is huge because Mingyu is huge as well. It's cute.

-You shouldn't criticize character designs as soon as they were released... There's always a high chance the members were involved in creating those character designs.

-Just because the member participated doesn’t mean you can’t criticize something for being bad. If it's ugly, it’s ugly. We don’t love them for their drawing skills. Even if they participate, the final design can still be polished by a professional.

It turns out that Seventeen's characters that created a buzz were actually drawn by the members

Min Heejin

She said she would sell her house...

She said she would win no matter whatㅇㅇ

She also said she's relieved that she owns a house because she wouldn't be able to win if she had no money

-Fighting, Min Heejin. I hope she stays strong.

-I have nothing to say except that she's really amazing.

-I really hope she wins!!!

-Fighting. I'm hoping for good results.

-Fighting. I will support you until the end.

-HYBE is really an evil to the society. I hope they go bankrupt.

-Wow.. this is really not an ordinary situation.

-I hope she wins and gets compensated.

-I hope she wins and later sues for damages tooㅠㅠㅠ. This isn't just someone else's story. Any HYBE idol could go through this, so she has to win.

-Wow, that's amazing... I hope she receives money from HYBE soonㅠ

-Min Heejin, fighting. I hope she wins and makes a documentary.

-Ah... This is really heartbreaking. I hope she wins.

-This is truly a fight of an ant against giants... Oh Gosh...

-If Min Heejin loses, all Korean women should pack their bags and leave the country. This country doesn't let women earn money or succeed.

-I really hope she wins... and gets more than 2.3 billion back.

Min Heejin says that the lawsuit costs against HYBE have reached 2.3 billion won so far...

Min Heejin: The slogan "We believe in music" was also created by me... I wanted to infuse the company with soul, and I oppose unnecessarily inserting technology into culture. It’s the most frustrating when the dog-jussi (NB: Dog + Ahjussi) take the hard work I've done all night and ruin it. Not all Ahjussis are dog-jussi (ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ).

Min Heejin went to SM Ent. because it was the biggest company in the music market at the time. During her interview, she said she thought SM Ent. didn't know much about music and had no concept of graphic design, so she wanted to contribute and make them coolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

F*ckㅠㅠㅠ Min Heejin has spent about 2.3 billion won on the ongoing lawsuits and she said she might have to sell her house. She says she can sell her house, she doesn't have a husband or kids, and her parents are fine on their own; She's relieved that she can fight with what she has saved so far. Normal people can't do this. She wants to stop this kind of nonsense. She has been getting the hits all this time.

Min Heejin: After this all ends, I, along with the members and their parents, want to repay everyone in a big way. The girls' parents are so grateful to Bunnies that they cry. I personally don't know Team Bunnies @NewJeansSTRM, but I'm very grateful for them, who appears out of nowhere like Hong Gildong, and help us. I really want to bow to them. I'm really thankful.

Min Heejin: Director Shin Wooseok said that after working with NewJeans, he received contact from almost every entertainment company, but he collaborated with NewJeans because their direction and vision aligned from the beginning. If you try to transplant other projects, you will always be second; why do you want to film Ditto 2?

Especially, I got really annoyed when I spent all night creating something pretty, but these Ahjussi took it and ruined it. I'm sorry to call them Ahjussi, but I often use the word 'Ahjumma' as well, since there were so many Ahjussis. At that time, they were all Ahjussis. There were no women < ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is contemporary art.

Min Heejin had such severe obsessive-compulsive disorder that during the early fan art culture, she would feel stressed even looking at fan art, saying, “Ah, I didn’t look like that, why did they draw it like this?” Back then, she was reckless and didn’t know well; now, just seeing all the fan art brings her to tears because it’s so touchingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ F*ck

Min Heejin shows almost all the fan art by Bunnies to NewJeans' members. NewJeans' members also look for it themselves.
👤 You need to know what your fans are doing for you. Idols need to know that.

-So that phrase was created by Min Heejin.

-I've been listening to her for hours and it's not boring at allㅋㅋ

-The reason why she's been calling them 'Ahjussi' was because there were no womenㅋㅋㅋ F*ck

-It was so funㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It must be frustrating for her to see those Ahjussis are not doing proper music and making a fuss about weird IT stuff instead

-The boyfriend story is so f*cking funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I planned to only watch the beginning, but I ended up watching until the end. It just ended recentlyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Her talk show today was legendary. I learned a lot about life.

-This lecture is so legendary, it's a must-watch for everyone in the entertainment industry.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow, this is so funㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ There’s so much to learn.

-I wish she would hold lectures all the time. I could easily be an honor student if she does.

-She speaks in such an entertaining way.

-Two hours felt like ten minutes; I learned a lot and feel she’s a truly remarkable person.

-So "We believe in music" was created by Min Heejin.

-It's giving Ditto. I like it.

-I can already see Hanni and Haerin dancing to this.

-Whoa, this is crazy. It's so good??ㅠㅠ

-The beat is really amazing.

-Ah... This is absolutely NewJeansㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Crazy, this is so freaking good. I can already see NewJeans dancing to this.

-As soon as I heard this, I thought 'This is NewJeans' song'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The beat is so freaking good.

-Whoa... This song is absolutely NewJeans'.

-HYBE, you f*ckers... Give us NewJeans' full album.

-Who else would release this song if it's not NewJeans?ㅠㅠ Please let it be released safely.

-When will the album come out? Maybe around November?ㅜ

-Whoa... It's so cool that she has that much confidence to reveal itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Please give us Autumn Ditto...

-It totally has that NewJeans vibe.

-This has to come out into the world.

Wow, I watched Min Heejin's live, and she said that the lawsuit costs for HYBE alone are 2.3 billion won, and she had to sell her house. Then she said, 'I guess this is why I own a house and don't have kids'ㅋㅋ She said she will definitely win because she has done nothing wrong, and she is going to make a documentary and reveal everything. And she said, normally if things like this happens, the company card is all used so it's hard to get this far...

That's why I have been taking the hits since Aprilㅠㅠ But I will win, because they can't create a crime that doesn't exist.

Min Heejin mentioned that she has received many proposals for documentaries as a producer until now. After experiencing this incident, she wondered if she should film this. She's warning that 'Min Heejin's Exhuma' will be made if HYBE keeps acting recklessly and doesn't get back to their right minds.

-Netflix-ah, what are you doing?

-That documentary needs to be made. Will there ever be anything like this in the history of the idol industry again?

-This is giving me so much dopamineㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I hope she starts filming from now on.

-I hope it gets made into a movie.

-I'm waiting for it. Let's go, Netflix.

-I think this is the best turning point in the whole history of the entertainment industry.

-I'll be waiting for the documentary.

-I'll be waiting for this, Netflixㅋㅋㅋ

-I think it's going to be really fun.

-I'm already looking forward to it. I don't usually watch documentaries, but I will definitely watch Min Heejin's.

-Netflix-ah, please. I'm begging you. I'm really curious about this.

-Netflix, are you seeing this?

-Netflix, let's get to work.

-Let's just sign a contract with Netflix.

-I hope it gets released with title 'The Sins of HYBE' on Netflix.

-It’ll probably go to number one right awayㅋㅋㅋㅋ There’s a lot of interest even from overseas, right?

-Wow, I’m going to watch it. Please, make it happen.

-Netflix, what are you doing? This can’t be missed!

Min Heejin says she will definitely make a documentary

안녕하세요, 팀 버니즈입니다.

최근 팀버니즈에 대한 관심이 급격히 높아진 것을 느낍니다. 하루에도 몇 차례씩 외부 로그인 시도와 해킹 시도가 발생하고 있어, "왜 굳이?"라는 생각이 들면서도 불필요한 오해를 미리 차단하는 것이 옳다고 판단하여 이 글을 남깁니다.

세상은 각자가 바라보는… pic.twitter.com/ctMQa8JIqp
— 팀 버니즈 (@NewJeansSTRM) September 27, 2024

Hello, this is Team Bunnies.

We’ve noticed a significant increase in interest towards Team Bunnies recently. We’ve been experiencing multiple external login attempts and hacking attempts daily, leading us to question, "Why?" However, we believe it's right to address potential misunderstandings in advance, which is why we're posting this.

It seems the depth and breadth of the world is determined by individual perspectives and values. Some people see the only relationship in this world is built on money and power, believing that all other words and actions are controlled by the forces behind it.

For those who live in a world like that, just like HYBE and their followers, unfortunately, it may be difficult to understand the feeling of wanting to give selflessly to someone whose faces and names we don't even know, or the desire to support each other just by being there and gaining strength from one another.

As mentioned briefly before, Team Bunnies is a fandom gathered to support our beloved artists with pure intentions, consisting of ordinary individuals from various professions, ages, and genders. We are not affiliated with any companies, and everyone voluntarily participates in activities during their spare time outside of their day jobs. While many have suggested fundraising, we currently prefer not to do so unless absolutely necessary. This is because our members are voluntarily covering their own costs, and we do not want to place additional financial burdens on fans, as this situation already brings significant stress and pain.

Although our lives may look different, our shared love and care for NewJeans unite us to speak out and take action, just like other fandoms. We do not consider ourselves special, as all fandoms support their artists in their own unique ways, and Team Bunnies is also doing their best to support NewJeans in a slightly unique way due to the particular situation.

Particularly, the groundless rumors about the relationship between former CEO Min Heejin and Team Bunnies are believed to be a reflection of a narrow view that all actions should only be aimed for profit. If our actions seem like that, it would be because Team Bunnies' feelings towards the five NewJeans members are no different from Min Heejin’s feelings. We want to emphasize once again that Team Bunnies has no relationship with Min Heejin, aside from our shared feelings. We also apologize for causing additional misunderstandings for her, who is already carrying many burdens.

We can certainly say that the five members of NewJeans, CEO Min Heejin, and all Bunnies are walking the same path with one heart.

Just now, the Hyundai Card lecture that CEO Min Heejin participated in has concluded. I didn't know why there were so much interferences during the lecture until I watched it. We would like to thank CEO-nim for her shout-out and would like to assure that Team Bunnies will do their best to support the future together with NewJeans and all Bunnies.

It’s been a long and tough week; thank you for your hard work. We hope we can support each other without getting tired. Thank you.

Addition: Attached are happy memories with NewJeans that we all cherish.

-Fighting. I’m cheering for you.

-This is not easy at all, I think they are very amazing for this. I'm rooting for them. Fighting.

-Why do these people write so well? It brings tears to my eyesㅠㅠ

Fighting, everyone!

-Fighting. I'm not a Bunnies, but as a regular person who loves Kpop idols and music, I'm rooting for you.

-I'm a fan of another group, but this is true love. It's amazing. I hope all those idiots get sued.

-This really feels like true love, it’s so impressive.

-Stay strong, I'm rooting for you.

-This post is very heart-warming and reassuring.

-This post once again makes me witness that there are so many great loves in the world.

-I'm rooting for you, Team Bunnies! Let's stick together!!

-This is so moving... I suddenly become a Bunniesㅠㅠㅠ I hope NewJeans, Min Heejin, and all Bunnies find happiness!! Fighting!!!

-They sound very intellectual... Not to mention that the post is very well-written... I'm rooting for youㅠㅠ

-This makes me tear up, reallyㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅜ In the end, Min Heejin, NewJeans, and Bunnies will win. When we support and love each other like this, there’s nothing we can’t doㅠㅠㅠ Bring it on, you pig.

-Team Bunnies is really reassuring.

-I'm rooting for Bunnies. Fighting.

-This is really impressive. I'm rooting for them.

Min Heejin recalls during her time as a director at SM Ent., Lee Sooman sent emails to everyone that said, "Hey, you guys don't know anything, just do whatever Min Heejin says." She said he's an enlightened person.

-Because she has a good nose for money...

-She must instinctively know the scent of money.

-Because money is the only thing Lee Sooman is after... Unlike that someone who throws tantrums at the person who brought lots of money to his company.

-I'm curious about how she works...

-Told y'all, she has really good instincts.

-He has an incredible nose for money.

-As long as it smells like money, it's an OK from me~~

-He's truly different from that you-know-who

-Regardless of anything else, this grandpa's got a sharp instinct.

-Whoa... That's exactly the reason why he's still going strongㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If it were Lee Sooman, he would've been carrying NewJeans around like a trophyㅋㅋㅋㅋ (I'm not glorifying Lee Sooman)

-Lee Sooman also has great aesthetic senseㅋㅋ So he must have liked what Min Heejin was producing.

SM Ent. asked the scene in Pink Tape where Krystal swallows the paper but Min Heejin was like, "Ugh... What do they even know", and said she was so angry she couldn't sleep. It’s ridiculous because she sounds just like how my mutuals on Twitter complain on the timeline every day.

This was mentioned during Min Heejin’s live talk show with Hyundai Cardㅋㅋㅋ

This scene

-But I can totally understand both sidesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ In some countries, there are people with eating disorders who eat paper or cotton for dietㅠ

-But I kind of understand why SM Ent. ask this scene to be removedㅋㅋㅋ

-Hmm... This time, I'm on SM Ent.'s side.

-What’s so meaningful about this scene in the music video? Why is it wrong to remove it?

-I understand why SM Ent. wanted to remove this scene.

-In the end, it wasn’t controversial, and it turned out wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ This scene blew up every online communities when Pink Tape was released.

-Min Heejin apparently wrote a long angry letter, and SM Ent eventually gave in. That’s hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I understand SM Ent.'s perspective, but since it wasn’t removed and it worked out well, Min was right in the end.

-In the end, SM Ent. eventually gave inㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even if this scene was removed, Pink Tape would’ve still done well.

-I'm glad they didn't remove this scene. This scene has insane impact and it shows Krystal's visual and charm really well.

-It was a scene that could’ve sparked controversy, so I understand why they wanted it removedㅋㅋㅋ If it was released today, it would've caused a huge uproarㅋㅋㅋ

-Reminds me of eating disorders.

WAKEONE , ZB1 , Zero Base One

is WAKEONE, a subsidiary label of CJ Ent.

-August 29 (Thu): An international fandom of a member arranged to ship custom-made in-ear monitors so that he can use them on the group's world tour (with prior agreement from the agency).

Hello, this is RICKY JP. The in-ear monitors we've been working on are complete and we'd like to ship them to the office. As confirmed in the first email, is it still okay to send them to the office? If so, could I please have the contact number of the person in charge? Thank you.

Hello, this is the person in charge of ZEROBASEONE. Yes, will the delivery be made via Quick service? Please deliver it by 3 PM on September 2 (Mon). Upon arrival, please contact us at 010-68xxx17.

-They received the official response to send it by 3PM on September 2 (Mon)

On September 2 at 3PM, the item was personally handed over to the staff of WAKEONE's support team.

(The packaging state of the in-ear monitors at the time)

-September 7 (Sat): during a video call fansign, the member said that he still had not yet received the in-ear monitors.

Black: Honestly, the handheld microphone team asked about it. Yes. I wanted to ask for proof of the in-ear monitors.

Green: Yeah, I saw that.

Black: But when we asked about it, they said they hadn't received them yet.

-September 13 (Thu): The international fandom sent an email asking why the in-ear monitors hadn't been delivered yet and emphasized that they had been sent in time for the world tour and requested a quick delivery.

Hello, this is RICKY JP. I'm writing to inquire about the in-ear monitor we sent earlier. According to the member during a fansign, he hasn't received the gift from the company yet. This gift was created and shipped specifically to be used during the world tour, with prior agreement with the company. Why hasn't it been delivered to the member yet? We hope the gift is delivered as soon as possible. Thank you for reading.

Hello, this is the person in charge of ZEROBASEONE. Could you let us know when it was shipped? It seems there were many gifts, so it might have gotten mixed up. Please check. Thank you.

Hello, this is the person in charge of ZEROBASEONE. Did you just send it by courier without coordinating with us? Please check. Thank you.

After six days of no response, the agency finally replied on September 19 (Thu), just one day before the Seoul concert. They gave a surprising response, asking when it was sent, whether it was delivered by courier, and if it had been coordinated.

The gift was clearly received by staff and now they're saying the company didn't even know about this in-ear monitor gift? Fans started to get anxious from this point...

Hello, this is the person in charge of ZEROBASEONE. We are currently reviewing CCTV footage to verify the situation. We apologize for any shortcomings in receiving the item. We will provide a follow-up after checking. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

After receiving the response that the agency was checking CCTV footage, the international fandom decided to wait until the 22nd, considering the concert schedule.

The agency delayed their response and, after a week, on the 26th, they confirmed via email that the in-ear monitors were lost. (The email did not mention any compensation.)

They are now working with a Korean legal team and plan to sue the agency.

*After the notice was posted, questions arose within the fandom:

(1) How did it get lost after being personally delivered? How does the agency usually manage support items?

(2) If they can lose items worth hundreds of thousands of won, can we trust that other gifts have been properly delivered to the members? Is there someone taking items in between?

+) As a result, the member couldn’t use the new in-ear monitors during the world tour, and the international fandom's three months of effort, time, and money spent on making and shipping the in-ear monitors went to waste.

Summary:

1. An international fandom raised funds and sent in-ear monitors to match the concert dates (after coordinating with the agency, the item was personally delivered to staff).

2. During a fansign, the member said they hadn't received the in-ear monitors.

3. The agency ignored emails asking to confirm delivery, only responding the day before the concert to ask when it was sent and if it had been coordinated.

4. After saying they'd check, the agency admitted a week later that the in-ear monitors were lost, but offered no compensation, apology, or public notice.

5. As a result, the time, effort, and money spent to make the in-ear monitors for the world tour were wasted.

++) Additionally, for those wondering if companies still accept support gifts:

This company’s first official announcement after forming the debut members through a survival show was a gift policy announcement...^^ They've liked gifts since the beginning.

-In-ear monitors aren’t something you can make in just a day. It’s so unfortunate considering the time and effort fans spent preparing it, and how they eagerly awaited seeing it used...ㅠ It must be really upsetting..

-Even as a non-fan, this looks incredibly suspicious?????? They should definitely sue...

-I can understand if they take clothes or perfume for themselves, but what are they going to do with custom in-ear monitors?

-In-ear monitors are custom-made based on the shape of the artist's ears, so even if someone stole them, they couldn’t use them. Did they steal it without realizing what it was from the packaging?... It's not like they're beggars or something like that.

-How do you lose something this big?

-Why would they steal that? They can’t even use it.

-Did they actually steal that? Why? And wouldn’t it be obvious who received it? This is crazy.

-What are they going to do with in-ear monitors? You can’t sell them or use them. Why are they doing such a terrible job?

-Maybe they didn’t realize it was in-ear monitors based on the fancy packaging. How do you claim it’s lost after it was handed over directly?

-They just got caught this time. There’s probably a lot more they’ve been stealing.

-It’s obvious they stole it.
