He also added heart emojis in the colors associated with NewJeans’ “The Powerpuff Girls” theme: blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple, representing members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, respectively. This led to speculation that Jungkook may be showing indirect support for NewJeans.
This has become a hot topic in online communities like Nate Pann and theqoo. Below are comments from Korean netizens.
– Wow, he posted in support of NewJeans. As expected, Jungkook knows everything. So cool.
– I’m a Bunnie, but I’m really grateful to the idols HYBE. Even though there have been a lot of instigating posts and fan wars lately… Jungkook showed his support with emojis, and the main fan accounts of SEVENTEEN and Le Sserafim also bravely posted messages of support for NewJeans. It’s also heartwarming to know that the members of ILLIT and NewJeans still greet each other closely… The singers maintain good relations, which makes me feel good and happy. Many people may have been hurt in some way by this issue, but it’s wonderful to see the singers supporting each other and getting along well. Like Bunnie, I’m really grateful for Jungkook’s brave support in this difficult situation.
– In a situation where he might face retaliation from Bang, doing this is really impressive.
– BTS has endured so much injustice over the years… Starting around 2020, HYBE started blatantly canceling BTS. I’m a fan of another group, and I know this too. He’s been silent, but now he’s speaking up when the juniors in his company are in trouble. It’s really awesome.
– Jungkook is usually cautious and doesn’t address any issues publicly, wow.
– There is no way BTS doesn’t know this. NewJeans and BTS, they fight.
– I don’t know Jungkook well, but he probably supports NewJeans. Surprising and impressive. I hope more people support the group after this.
