Recently, Minji from NewJeans caused some controversy on the internet. Netizens praised, laughed, and even gasped at Minji’s most recent experience on several online forums.
It all began when Minji revealed to her followers during an audio webcast that she had secretly placed stickers promoting Aespa’s “Armageddon” across HYBE’s building.
Violating the Regulations
Minji disclosed that she had been warned that it wasn’t permitted by her management. Minji made the decision to carry out the plan anyhow. Without anyone noticing, she spread the stickers throughout the HYBE building.
A Polite Request
When Minji reveals where she got the stickers, the story takes an even more interesting turn. The person who gave her the stickers was none other than Karina from Aespa. Karina handed Minji a bunch of “Armageddon” stickers after they got together to complete each other’s tasks. She asked Minji to distribute them among the employees of NewJeans.
The Stickers
This sticker set is part of an Aespa music video for the song “Armageddon.” Disregarding conspiracy theories, the stickers advise against listening to the music unless one wants to “be the first ones to be eaten by aliens.” With pride, Minji revealed that she had hidden the stickers inside HYBE.
Karina’s Reaction
Minji’s actions surprised Karina. On ‘Bubble,’ a well-liked fan communication platform, she showed her pride.
Karina wrote to her fans:
“How could I get such good news as soon as I get off work today? Minji-ssi has done it! I knew she would succeed. I am so proud of her. Our parodies have even reached that place…<3 I should have given some to [ITZY’s] Yezi as well, but I forgot to bring them.
