Through NewJeans, Min Hee-jin is experimenting and achieving the goal that K-pop has long sought to accomplish.
It’s a transcending modernism that transcends time, place, and context and is present in everyone’s thoughts and feelings.
It is completely compatible and has the capacity to be both nothing and everything at the same time.
It’s amazing that this is accomplished from an aesthetic standpoint and in a method that is simple enough for everyone to comprehend, rather than through systems or technology.

– Why are they acting like this? It’s a critic’s personal impression.
– There’s nothing wrong in the review. It’s well-written. What’s the problem?
– Fandom Sh*t. That’s why I stopped supporting the group and distanced myself from the fans.
-“I am a fan of both BTS and NewJeans, and what I can’t understand is why international fans think HYBE = BTS. It’s so frustrating because I think a lot of international fans misunderstand this to be true when it isn’t.”
