After the report was released, numerous netizens of 40s criticized NewJeans saying,"I don't remember Apple donating profits to our country... How can they accept an advertisement for an Apple phone?","They are totally patriotic-less artists and management companies.",

"I'm disappointed in NewJeans," "No matter how much money they offer, it seems a bit wrong to accept an Apple advertisement like this," "I really hate NewJeans," "It looks like I need to start boycotting NewJeans from today."

Many netizens have different interpretations of the music video for girl group NewJeans' new song "ETA". On the 24th, a Korean netizen posted a screenshot of a direct message to the director, Shen Yushuo, who personally explained the behind-the-scenes story of the music video. As shown in the screenshot, Director Shin Woosuk first expressed his gratitude to the fans: "Hello everyone, thank you for liking this MV. However, after completing the work, I do not like to explain it in detail, so it's hard to explain specifically." However, he also explained, "We've said all we can say, in the end, ETA wanted to talk about 'rumors'. In modern society, we are exposed to many facts that we haven't seen with our own eyes and make judgments about them. In this process, many facts are distorted and exaggerated, and NewJeans also created such rumors in the MV." Director Shen Yu-shuo stated, "If you carefully observe the timeline of this MV, you will find that the timeline between the driving woman and her call with NewJeans is incorrect, which you can see from the phone icon that was placed aside from the beginning. In fact, the woman has already killed the man and is on her way to dispose of the body." He also said, "In reality, it's not clear whether the man has done anything improper, and the kiss scene is just a delusion that appears after the woman doesn't answer the phone." The director expressed the message he wanted to convey through the music video: "We are in the midst of so much information, but we never thought about whether it's true or not, we just convey it to someone." In the end, the director also expressed his sincere gratitude for everyone's love for the music video. Netizens also highly praised: "That's great! Recently, there seem to be fewer and fewer music videos that convey messages, unlike in the past." "I didn't expect there to be such a story behind just a visually pleasing music video..." "Indeed, not just anyone can be a director." Director Shin Woo-seok, in addition to shooting the music video for NewJeans' new song "ETA," also made music videos for NewJeans' "Dito," "OMG," and "Cool We You." Editor: Indeed, not everyone can be a director! I didn't expect such a message behind it! 😳

NewJeans' latest MV features an "international superstar"! Netizens are amazed by the unexpected cameo!

The popular girl group NewJeans, who made a powerful comeback, is gearing up to release their new mini-album "Get Up" on the 21st. Alongside their attention-grabbing debut single "Super Shy," the music video for their latest hit "Cool With You" has created a buzz by featuring surprise guest appearances from international stars, generating intense discussions among netizens. On the 20th, girl group NewJeans released two versions of their main song "Cool With You" MV. In the "Side A" version, Jung Ho-yeon, who gained popularity for her role in the Korean drama "Squid Game," fearlessly portrayed the main female character and made a bold appearance.  And in the 'Side B' version, there's a surprising cameo by Hong Kong film king Tony Leung, looking handsome with white hair, exchanging glances with Jung Ho-yeon. Even though it was only for a few seconds, it has greatly thrilled many fans who swiftly shared it on social media, capturing the attention of netizens. Previously, there were rumors circulating on web communities that V from the boy group BTS and Jung Ho-yeon were seen filming the NewJeans MV. In response, their management company ADOR stated that they could not confirm the rumours. However, after the MV was released, it became evident that V's appearance was not true. Netizens expressed surprise upon discovering Tony Leung in the girl group NewJeans' MV, expressing astonishment and commenting, "HYBE is really going all out," "Did I see that correctly? Is that really Tony Leung?" "Wow! This MV is so impactful!" "Oh my God! Tony Leung is incredibly handsome," "This is crazy," "Faint! He looks so handsome even with white hair," "Seeing Tony Leung appear really surprised me," "Tony Leung's presence was truly overwhelming, but I can't believe he actually appeared in the NewJeans MV." "Wow, we got Tony Leung!" "How did they manage to invite Tony Leung to appear ㅠㅠ?" "Whoa! It's my first time seeing Oppa's white-haired look, too handsome," "The moment Tony Leung showed up, I got goosebumps," "Wow! I really didn't expect that," and so on. These remarks are sparking heated discussions among fans.
