As the conflict between HYBE and its subsidiary label ADOR intensifies, a recent social media post by NewJeans' Hyein has piqued interest. The post appears to show support for CEO Min Hee Jin in the midst of the ongoing debate over ILLIT's supposed similarity to NewJeans.

On March 25 KST, Hyein shared a post on NewJeans' fan community. The post included several photos, one of which showed Hyein lying face down with the phrase "stop copying" written in tiny letters.

The timing of the post is noteworthy as it coincides with the debut of ILLIT, another group under HYBE's Belift Lab label. Their song "Magnetic" from the album 'SUPER REAL ME' has been the center of attention. Initially ignored, the post has now drawn attention as CEO Min Hee Jin has openly criticized ILLIT for their apparent resemblance to NewJeans, labeling them as imitators.

Hyein's message has been interpreted in various ways. Some believe it was aimed at ILLIT, while others speculate it was directed at Haerin, who was seen wearing similar clothes. As the tension between HYBE and CEO Min Hee Jin heightens, NewJeans' position in the dispute remains unclear.

Historically, NewJeans members have had a close relationship with CEO Min Hee Jin. However, Hyein's recent post has ignited a discussion about their loyalties. CEO Min Hee Jin has always stood by NewJeans members, but Hyein's ambiguous post has added a layer of complexity to the situation.

Here are some comments from netizens:

"Don't repeat the same mistake as FIFTY FIFTY. Avoid getting involved and attacking the members. It never ends well."

"I hope NewJeans members are wise enough to understand that taking sides in this situation will tarnish their image regardless. Their best option is to remain silent to avoid any harm."

"Hopefully, unlike the FIFTY FIFTY members, they will remain loyal to their company CEO Min Hee Jin."

"I think the phrase 'stop copying' is an inside joke between Haerin & Hyein because they were wearing matching outfits that day. If this is true, then I don't think the month-old post is cryptic."

"Please, don't start attacking her or the members. They are also victims of this situation."

"Well… now NewJeans will be sabotaged the same way they were created."

"People need to relax, they're reading too much into a post that was made a month ago."

Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is once again showing their global power!

On May 4, BigHit Music announced that TXT’s latest digital single “Love Language” had climbed to No. 1 on Line Music Japan’s ‘Top 100 Songs’ daily chart, just a day after its release.

The song debuted at No. 12 on May 2 and jumped 11 spots to grab the top spot on May 3. Over on Oricon’s ‘Daily Digital Single Ranking’, the song also ranked high at No. 2, making TXT the only international artist to rank in the top 5 on both major Japanese charts.

But TXT’s success isn’t just limited to Japan. “Love Language” also topped iTunes ‘Top Songs’ charts in nine countries and regions, including Japan, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and Portugal. The track also charted high on the Worldwide iTunes Songs chart, standing proudly alongside songs by global pop giants.

Love Language is a sweet and emotional track that compares love to learning a new language. TXT members express the desire to understand someone they care about, even when it’s not easy to communicate.

The song is especially meaningful because the group dropped it as a surprise gift for fans during their ongoing world tour, ‘ACT : PROMISE’ – EP. 2.

Fans are going wild over the song’s catchy vibes, sharp group choreography, and one unforgettable moment where the members briefly lift their shirts, showing their abs—a performance detail that’s gone viral across fan communities.

TXT is clearly not slowing down, and Love Language is another major step in their rise as a global K-pop powerhouse.
