[theqoo] MIN HEEJIN’S REP “ILLIT APPEARING ON A VARIETY SHOW ON NEWJEANS’ COMEBACK DATE… DISCRIMINATORY”

Min also pointed out that despite the group’s successes, including winning both the Rookie of the Year and Daesang at major domestic and international music awards and being named one of Forbes’ “30 Most Influential People Under 30 in Asia” within a year and a half of their debut, discrimination continued. For example, on March 27, when the group’s entry into the Tokyo Dome was reported in the media, articles about HYBE and Universal Music Group were published simultaneously.

She also pointed out that despite ILLIT are at the end of their album promotions, they appeared on entertainment programs that coincided with the date of NewJeans’ comeback. NewJeans will make their comeback on May 24, and ILLIT will appear on JTBC’s “Knowing Brothers” on May 25.

1. Honestly, even I think that this situation is weird

2. It was obvious……..

3. People think that this was intentional?… I thought that they were just appearing on variety shows later

4. This was so obvious that rumors started right away when the news were out

5. Anyone could tell that the timing was weird

6. Aren’t they being too much? F*ck

7. Even as someone who doesn’t know anything about this, the timing looked way too weird because of how obvious it was

8. Everyone said that it was weird from the start

9. Everybody knew

10. People on here were already calling them out yesterday
