Two K-pop stars will appear as Gucci Global Ambassadors.
Right from their appearance at Incheon International Airport, members of the two HYBE groups attracted attention.
On the online community theqoo, a post about Hanni attracted 58,000 views with 500 comments. Meanwhile, another post about Jin also attracted 41,000 views and 400 comments.
However, besides comments about the idols' airport appearances, netizens are also very curious about the two people's reactions when attending the same event amidst the noise.
The conflict between former CEO Min Hee Jin of ADOR Company (managing group NewJeans) and HYBE Group has lasted since April until now. BTS has been mentioned many times in the conflict, leading to a not-so-good relationship between the BTS fan community (ARMY) and NewJeans (Bunnies).
On September 11, all 5 NewJeans members (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein) suddenly opened a livestream, asking HYBE to restore Min Hee Jin's CEO position and return ADOR to its original state before September 25.
After that, Jungkook (BTS) shocked everyone when he posted on Instagram posts with the content "Artists are not guilty", "Don't take advantage of them", which is believed to support the group NewJeans.
Jungkook's actions have received criticism from HYBE staff on the Blind community page. There is even speculation that Jungkook and ARMY are also on Min Hee Jin's side.
This is one of the reasons why BTS fans promoted the hashtag #MinHeeJinOut campaign on social networks, to protest the return of Min Hee Jin to the position of CEO of ADOR.
On the contrary, NewJeans fans pushed the hashtag #MinHeeJinOutstanding, to cheer for Min Hee Jin.
Amidst the internal turmoil in HYBE, as well as the confrontation between the fan communities of the two groups NewJeans - BTS, the fact that Hanni and Jin attended the event together received attention.
Many people believe that conflicts between fans or companies will not affect the relationship between artists. So they look forward to the interaction between Hanni and Jin at Gucci's show.
