"Is this true?" Ailrit X, New Jeans Rumor Account Follow Controversy… Unfollow Soon

(Top Star News Reporter Yoo Hye-ji) The account followed by group Ailit, a subsidiary of HYBE's label Belief Lab, is causing controversy.

Recently, an online community posted that Ailrit had been following and then unfollowing a specific account in real time through the official X (old Twitter).

According to the article, the accounts that Ailrit followed were a foreign account that spread rumors about Adore's New Jeans, a Japanese-run fan account of Yoona, and a Korean-run fan account of Mocha.

The New Jeans Rumors account and the Korean Mocha fan account even had their account owners personally verify that they were following Ailit. The three accounts were soon unfollowed.

Some are speculating that a specific member may have followed Ailit directly, based on the fact that she had been posting directly through X and following Japanese fan accounts.

There is also a possibility that it was run by an agency official, but the prevailing opinion is that it is difficult to understand why a Japanese person would follow Yoona's fan account. This raises the question of how likely it is that the official is good at Japanese.

Netizens are showing negative reactions such as, "Whether it's the members or the staff, it's a problem", "I've never seen anything like this in my life", "I wonder what explanation they'll come up with", "This is true", and "Even a novel can't be written like this."

Currently, Hive is in conflict with Adore CEO Min Hee-jin. On the 19th, CEO Min stated regarding Hive's claim that she met with an external investor and discussed Adore's management rights, "It was a private meeting unrelated to investment. What is Hive, who did not attend the meeting, basing their false claims on?"

In response to the claim that he disparaged New Jeans and thought of them only as a means of making money, he refuted the claim, saying, "Right after I was attacked with the fabricated KakaoTalk conversation, the members all sent me comforting text messages. They weren't just messages of comfort, they were full of love. The messages of comfort continued until the next morning."

Earlier, Representative Min also pointed out that Ailit and others copied New Jeans.
