NewJeans Hyein’s Social Media Post Adds Fuel to Copycat Controversy

NewJeans Hyein’s Post Sparks Controversy
ILL-IT’s Debut Day Mentioned
“Stop Copying” Caption Catches Attention

A post by NewJeans Hyein is belatedly drawing attention.

Amid the controversy between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, a belated photo that Hyein posted is being reinterpreted.

Last month, Hyein posted several photos on the fan communication community PHONING.

At the time, Hyein appeared to be spending time with member Hyerin.

Hyein’s photo of Hyerin with the writing “stop copying” raised eyebrows.

The photo was uploaded the same day I’LL-IT debuted with the title track “Magnetic” from their first mini album, SUPER REAL ME. Min Hee Jin claimed that they were a “NewJeans copycat.”

With Min Hee Jin’s comments becoming an issue day by day, NewJeans Hyein’s remarks are resurfacing rapidly.

Yet Hyein’s comment is speculated to be directed at Hyerin, who was wearing the same clothes as her in the photos, and fans also agreed with that interpretation.

Tension is rising between Min Hee Jin, known for her close relationship with NewJeans, and HYBE, and all eyes are on NewJeans’ upcoming comeback.
