[instiz] MIN HEE JIN ADDRESSES HER CONTROVERSY IN AN INTERVIEW

 

Q: What happened?

A: Not long ago, my personal Instagram photos were 'chewed up' and came under suspicion. Someone reported this to me because I don't use community sites. Since it was so absurd, I was told by other relatives including people from the company and staff to just overlook the issue and not treat it. But I'm also a person who hates injustice, and I don't know if neglect is the best thing to do. I was also busy so I tried to ponder a bit on it. I'm a human who is logical, so I thought that the right thing to do would be to correct issue accordingly, but because they're attacking me based on their imagination, it was possible that they wouldn't accept such a logical response. Just looking at the time the issue was raised, I was even more suspicious that this was intentionally done. Everyone advised me that ignoring would be the right thing to do, but there is no reason for me to be beaten up like that when I'm innocent. Is there anything more contradictory than praising the result of New Jeans because it feels healthy to do so all the while doubting the intention behind my work?

 

Q: How are you dealing with this?

 

A: If you're trying to act 'eye for an eye' with this kind of issue, it's just acting inconsistent. Do people who post pretty pictures on communities do all the detailed research behind the source of those pictures and understand the story behind them before posting them? They're fine to just scrap [the internet] and take pictures they like without thinking much of it, yet they infer that everything other people do has to be intentional and there's nothing more intrusive than that. Or if they want to see everything as an issue, then, are my relatives who gifted me those presents the problematic ones? Someone took a screenshot of those communities and told me about their tendencies to 'slander' people. People compared female celebrities with the character of Tomie in Ito Junji's manga. Following netizens' logic, people can say "Why would you compare them with Tomie considering the setting?" "Tomie has to do with murder, they rather look like XX". They're the ones who don't want others to interpret their intentions but using common sense, aren't these the same situation?

 

Among the controversies, there is a picture that is interwoven with a movie that I am not familiar with. The picture has nothing to do with the movie at all, and I wonder why they want to argue with such a small detail in a drawing within a picture? Actually, seeing those slanderers draw critics from fiction is pathetic. There's no end to it if I wanted to point out everything, but I don't think they'll even want to listen if I were to let them know anything.  In any case, according to the company and various opinions that the level of dissemination of false information and blasphemy is serious and should not be overlooked, civil and criminal lawsuits have been initiated. I thought that malicious commenters were also fans, so I gave them a pass, but a significant amount of violations were discovered during the legal review. In order to prevent future problems and to protect the rights and interests of the members, a dedicated organization for Adore was established

 

 

 

Q: I thought you would be able to handle this bravely. 

 

A: Will anyone get used to malicious slander? I'll tell you some stories that I have endured. I've always wondered if it's because the consumers have a low understanding of the business or lack of understanding of the collaboration process, so there are a lot of things that I've overlooked. Back during my SM days, there were many speculations already. Creative work cannot be the same every time depending on the timing, the project characteristics and the characteristics of the collaborators. 

This means that the contribution of the workers participating in each project can vary widely.

 

 

original post: here

 

1. So why would she hang these?

Spoiler

> Because it's a gift and she found it pretty so she hung it without much thought?

>> ...

 

2. She speaks well. To the people who can't understand what she's saying, read the interview again... People took her previous works together to frame her as a p**o but she even gave feedback from her previous works. If you read what she had to say about Ito Junji, you wouldn't have anything to say anymore

 

3. She did well suing, seriously the level of hate she got was way too oba 

 

4. I'm not sure about other things, but I totally agree with the the Tomie thing ... Everyone only likes Tomie because of her looks and charms <- but they only talk about that when they compare people with Tomie and I was always surprised by that as someone who read the manga... 

 

5. That's right, seriously her controversy was absurd 

 

6. She's saying herself that those are speculations, why aren't people believing her? 

 

7. But she had so many controversies like that even from the past no??? Even in SM, she had controversies, so you're telling me that all those weren't her intentions but just speculations?

 

8. So she's posting those screenshots from movies just because she found them "pretty"?ㅋㅋㅋ People calling this forced, what's forced in this??

 

9. But Cookie... I like the song's performance, but the song is still a bit weird.. We're talking about a 14 y'o...

 

10. Anyone would think that she only had controversies with her Instagramㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Aren't the works that she produced so far the more controversial part of this? 

And the way she's intertwining the group's hate with her own hate is just funny

"Or if they want to see everything as an issue, then, are my relatives who gifted me those presents the problematic ones?" yes .. they are

[No1]

Honestly, her pictures give me creepy Rotta vibes. Children modeling in a sexualized manner is just wrong no matter how much she tries to spin it or deflect the blame; and having so many of them just increases the levl of creepiness; and then she goes and replicates the same vibes with her works that now involve minors in and industry were predation of the aforementioned is prevalent.

 

Either she is incredibly ignorant, or she is just a creep who is trying her best to just get the issue be over with.

I thought it was a bit overblown, but honestly the more she talks the more I feel like... this woman is a weirdo. Like the Cookie thing... there is zero chance that song was anything other than buying a song loaded with innuendos, liking it and giving it to your group even thought they are almost all children. Pretending people are that stupid to not recognize that (to be fair... delusional fans I guess will believe anything) isn't giving you much credibility when talking about more serious concerns people had.

[XiuJoySolMinraeXingBunny]

There is something strange about this woman. I can't put my finger on it. 

[r i n a c c h i]

wait...people are comparing celebs to Tomie without knowing the context?? whatttt lmaoo. i'm not a huge junji ito fan, but even i know thats not a character you want to be compared to. bruh. please.

[babyv004]

knetz are just letting this pass bc she is a woman. if this was coming from a men everyone would be call it from what they are (aka pedo)

she have a lot of controversial behaviour since she worked on SM. what i read about shinee make me wanna
can't believe she tricked taemin that was a minor at the time into a make a shirtless photoshoot and didnt tell him until they was doing it

the more she talks the more she gives creepy vibes to me

someone that knows korean should made a expose post in korean bc this is not just about Newjeans but also about others groups and for sure future ones that she will manage.
she should be forbidden to be next to minors. pls dont let her come closer to the kids

[Dont mind me]

You know when I was done reading her answers, I felt nauseous and stopt reading altogether. She was ruining my happy vibe I was having on a sunny day. She is that person everyone keeps their kid away in the real world, because parents can sense something is off with her.

HYBE is showing their predatory mindset by letting her speak so comfortably. Everything she has said comes of as predator.

Every predator sentence before being caught red-handed: It's not me that has a fucked up mind, it is you with imaginations. 

This will come to bite HYBE in the ass somewhere down the line. 

[Thigh-high feminist]

First, the problematic lyrics were okayed by a team of people, then the problematic pictures were a gift from relatives. THERE IS A PROBLEMATIC PATTERN WITH YOU, the sexual portrayal of minors. Hybe gave you the big chair because they want your dirty work and you have it to them, you are responsible. She can't pass the buck but she has to tone down the trashiness. I guess. Can she?

I won't even read that full interview, she's exasperating. And fans bitching about haters need to grow up, teenage girls should not be dancing around while bragging about their "cookie". It's wrong and gross. Have some concerns for your favorites' well being. Bring first is not everything.

« hey we all know you love kids and teens so we thought we would gift you these pictures! »

the more this woman talks the more she becomes creepy

Yeah hate to tell you this but that's definitely not true, the industry is LOADED with creeps, I mean, the owner of one of the big 3 went on TV and told a story about how he saw his now wife in the background of her sister's TV show when she was 13 or 14, recruited  her to be a trainee at 15, then he joked about how he tanked her group so they wouldn't become popular (ie then she wouldn't be famous, and would be in his debt).  Honestly her getting this much attention could be a sign that the public's perception is changing... but honestly if she were a man and had more power it probably gets laughed off and buried.

[Serilost]

All I got from her interview is deflection and excuses. Gift or not, any adult who's hanging those pictures in their house (or even in possession of them) IS a creep. And the fact that she repeatedly keeps oversexualising minors with her concepts is problematic as hell.

So why are some knetz trying to say that the backlash she got was absurd?
