Netizens were disappointed that the agency would utlize Wonhee’s health issue article to emphasize that they filed a complaint.
- “This is sad for her, but why are they blaming Min Hee Jin? Min Hee Jin didn’t hate on ILLIT.”
- “This company has never posted an announcement about filing claims for idols. Are they trying to use media play now?”
- “It’s so sad they are using her being sick to release an article. Stop using young kids…the company is getting the most hate…they have no care for protecting the artists.”
- “I guess that agency can’t release any news articles if there’s no Min Hee Jin.”
- “It’s HYBE that couldn’t handle things well. Why are they putting it all on Min Hee Jin?”
- “Guess they have nothing to say about ILLIT’s official account following a malicious account.”
- “They’re tying this in together like this? Wow might as well say that global warming is accelerating because of Min Hee Jin lol.”
