K-netizens debate whether NewJeans' Minji purposely ignored TXT's greeting

A recent stage interaction between NewJeans’ Minji and the members of TXT has sparked a debate among K-netizens.

During a recent event, the TXT members were seen respectfully bowing to Minji, but some netizens are saying she appeared to ignore their greeting. This moment was caught on camera and quickly circulated online, leading to divided opinions.

Some netizens believe that Minji’s actions were unintentional, perhaps a result of being focused on other aspects of the event or simply not noticing the gesture. However, others argue that her lack of response was deliberate and inappropriate, accusing Minji of ignoring her seniors. However, most netizens seem to be defending Minji.

“Anyone can see that she was looking elsewhere and didn’t see TXT, so what’s the big deal? LOL. Please, don’t act like a middle-aged man here; go somewhere else if you want to stir public opinion. Please, seriously.”

“Wow, they’re really pushing this narrative hard. Even just from the clip below, it’s clear the timing overlapped, so she couldn’t greet them. I saw other posts with the same clip, and they deleted the main text.”

“She was interacting with Youngji, who was in front of TXT, and got surprised by Hanni giving her a slogan, so she couldn’t accept it. If you watch a high-quality video, you can even see her mouth the words ‘I can’t take this’.”

“Didn’t she ignore Hong Eunchae’s greeting before? I already questioned her character during the Kalguksu controversy.”

“How can you call that ignoring? It just seems like she wasn’t paying attention at all, LOL.”

“Ignoring a greeting means you dislike or want to ignore the other person, but does Minji have a reason to do that? It’s obvious the cameras are rolling. Aren’t you tired of making up these baseless accusations? Seriously.”

“It seems like she’s acting like that even after seeing them greet her.”
