On September 14, Jungkook posted a picture of his pet dog Bam via his account @bowwow_bam, with the caption, “Artists are not guilty.” He also added five heart emojis to the text, matching the colors NewJeans members used in their promotions.

After speculation, it was confirmed that the post was Jungkook showing support his young juniors.

Following his post made in support of NewJeans, employees of HYBE were caught speaking negatively about Jungkook’s involvement in the situation on the BLIND app. BLIND is a platform for employees to speak anonymously about their workplaces and must be verified using a work email.
