On September 14, a topic titled “BTS’ Jin is on Bang Si-hyuk’s side” was posted on the Korean forum Pann Nate, attracting attention.
In this topic, the author highlighted BTS’ Jin’s close relationship with HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk, to the point of calling him a brother he can count on. Furthermore, the author also mentioned that Jin issued a challenge to LE SSERAFIM, stating that this is “showing support” for the HYBE side.
However, after seeing this topic, netizens immediately defended Jin, saying that there is no way Jin, who is often mistreated by HYBE, could support the conglomerate.
Here are some comments from Internet users:
- If you list all the times Jin was discriminated against at work, he will never like HYBE lol. Jin fans hate HYBE so much. Kim Seok-jin (Jin’s full name) is good at keeping a poker face and is the type to think positively, so he seems neutral
- He is one of the most discriminated members of the group. Why the hell would he be on Bang Si-hyuk’s side?
- If you know Jin’s personality, you shouldn’t drag him into this kind of discord. Jin is a pacifist, so he tends to adapt positively to his environment. He doesn’t hate or dislike anyone, so he is grateful for the environment he is given, and even in situations where he is discriminated against, he is a person who does his best in his small role. Instead, he compromises.
- Please don’t touch the artist. The artist is not at fault… If the fandom unites and beats up the company, the company might change, but why are they criticizing, criticizing and fighting among themselves?
- Don’t drag Jin into this mess.
On the other hand, BTS’s Jungkook had previously seemingly shown his support for NewJeans by posting an SNS update with 5 heart emojis in the colors of NewJeans members and adding the caption, “Artists are not to blame.”
