HYBE has responded to BTS Jungkook‘s post, supposedly showing support for the members of NewJeans.

On September 14, Jungkook posted a picture of his pet dog Bam via his account @bowwow_bam, with the caption, “Artsists are not guilty.”

He also added five heart emojis to the text, which match the colors used by NewJeans members in their promotions.

While K-Pop fans are speculating that this post was made to show his direct support for NewJeans, there are divided opinions on what it implies in the broader feud between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. Some interpreted his post as a support for Min’s return to ADOR, while others feel that his caption was directed at her, criticizing her handling of the situation. Many also expressed apprehension about the account being hacked.
