She showered them with warm words.

Amidst NewJeans current feud with their previous company, HYBE, many other celebrities have taken to showing them support. Amongst these celebrities is Fin.K.L‘s Ock Joohyun. As an OG idol, she offered words of strength to the girls.

She shared her thoughts on Wendy’s Young Street.

I was a fairy (nickname for Fin.K.L members) so I naturally look up my girl group juniors, and specifically NewJeans. They’re in a complicated situation right now. I want to cheer them on so much. Seeing what they’ve experienced recently, I’ve been cheering on them in my heart. There’s no member I am in contact with, but as their sunbae, what I want to tell them, is that nothing major will happen, and they will become way more amazing people, with deeper thoughts after everything passes. They will become singers who will be able to make better music. I’m cheering them on.
