In the past few years, the competition in the KPop industry has become increasingly fierce, with many entertainment companies brainstorming ways to promote their own artists. Despite its good image in the show business market, there have also been many negative incidents. Recently, netizens discovered some ambiguous comments left by a netizen under the magazine photos of a New Jeans member, provoking attention from the fans and other netizens.
Recently, netizens have been seeing a 'mysterious' netizen always leaving ambiguous comments under the photoshoot posts of a member of the girl group, New Jeans. In the photo below, you can see the screenshot of the comment made by the mystery 'netizen' saying "Hmm.." under Minji's photoshoot post for VOGUE.
However, that was not the first time. The said individual also left the same comments under the other members' photoshoot posts, leaving many netizens baffled.
Such behavior provoked suspicion among fans and netizens as the person in question always leave compliments on the photoshoots posts of the members of the girl group, IVE. In one of Ahn Yujin's pictorial, she posted "This is my first encounter with Ahn Yu Jin, I hope everyone can love her more," which is very different from the comments she leaves under New Jeans' members posts.
She also commented a lot of praise on IVE member Liz's pictorial, saying "Great work! Our Liz is the best".
In response, netizens dug up the identity of the commenter, who turned out to be a staff of StarShip Entertainment. The person's identity was revealed which made her turn her account into private, although it had already sparked a heated discussion among Korean netizens.
Numerous netizens have expressed their thoughts after discovering the identity of the commenter. Some of them said:
"I really hate how StarShip always has many hidden motives"
"If it was just a regular fan doing this it would be fine, but it's actually the high-ranking official of an entertainment company, is this a mistake?"
"I really feel like this is causing IVE to receive backlash"
"Don't they feel ashamed at all?"
"This is not too surprising, didn't they even take the PD from Produce to a place of entertainment?"
