Earlier on July 24, Korean news outlet Sports World disclosed that the parents of NewJeans have expressed their support for ADOR and criticized SOURCE MUSIC for its treatment of the members during their trainee days.
The report shared details regarding the parents’ claims of the members’ harsh living conditions and mistreatment under SOURCE MUSIC.

“Yuju uploaded a song from NewJeans and I’m wondering what she’s thinking. I think GFRIEND was a victim of Source Music and HYBE, so I bet all the members know what’s going on.”
“Whatever Min Hee Jin is doing, fans who still stan Source Music are so… I have so much to say, but I’ll stop here.”
The post generated reactions in the thread, with many speculating that Yuju has lowkey expressed her support for NewJeans. Though the idol has not explicitly stated her reason for the song’s usage, many couldn’t hold back their speculations due to the conflict’s timing.
- “But it’s not only Yuju, but after that HYBE incident broke, all of the celebrities started supporting NewJeans, only communities are fighting between themselves, but in reality, nobody is against NewJeans.”
- “SinB also made a post and used NewJeans’ Bubble Gum, aside from HYBE’s artists, everyone has openly supported NewJeans.”
- “Source Music disbanded GFRIEND out of the blue and they should start by telling us the reason first.”
- “They were obviously losing popularity compared to before, but it’s not like they were an unprofitable group. It makes no sense to disband them overnight like that.”
On platform X (Twitter), international fans also shared their thoughts on Yuju’s post.
