Internet users agree with the BTS star.
On September 14 (KST), Behind the scenes‘S Jungkook shared two Instagram posts via his dog Bam’s account, @bowwow_bam, which many believe were subtle messages of support for the members of NewJeans.
The girl group is currently embroiled in a dispute involving MOVES AND Min-hee-man Joy (the former CEO of their label ADOR). While Jungkook didn’t directly mention NewJeans, his captions, “Artists are not guilty” AND “Don’t use them,” were widely interpreted by fans as a way of dealing with the complicated situation.
