    I just want to say, hi to everyone who loves NewJeans!

    The last few months have felt a bit like braving a storm in small boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes the storm calms and there are rays of sunshine and you can see dolphins, eat some fish, enjoy looking at the horizon, even dance on the boat with Supernatural and How Sweet on full volume; other times all you see are sharks in the water, lighting strikes and hurricane threatening to electrocute and drown you (and the members) in the abyss of the dysfunction of the kpop industry and the political mind games here.

    I’m thankful for this sub because in other corners of the internet it sometimes feels like everyone is against those girls, constantly monitoring them for ways to demean, disparage, mock them or flat out wish them dead. Ironically, I’ve observed the people most unable to separate MHJ from NJ are their antis, rather than many of the fans who simply respect the members’ words and wishes.

    This sub first of all just feels *calmer* than all the other kpop subs discussing this issue. This sub reminds me that people here genuinely love NewJeans and aren’t caught up in speaking over them or their choices given we don’t have all the facts nor can we see all they’re dealing with. It’s lovely to come here and see various opinions, some I disagree or agree with, but all of it coming from a place of kindness and love for the girls.

    Given HYBE’s track record so far in how they’ve behaved this entire dispute, and MHJ for that matter, I’m settling in and getting comfortable for the long haul. In the meantime, I’m streaming How Sweet and Supernatural trying to figure out all the meta subtexts in the MV. I think Supernatural is their most meta MV to date, surpassing OMG. I so can’t wait for their full album later this year!

    The PR war starting JUST as soon as NewJeans is done with their JP promotions is sick behaviour. Company politics should stay within the company, not aired out for the whole public to see

    do you think there possibly may have been an agreement to halt litigation during promotions?
