NJZ (NewJeans) Minji’s Past Comment To A Reporter Triggers Massive Reactions
Most recently, the same reporter released an article mentioning the incident.
“‘Do you truly understand?’ This is what I heard from NJZ’s Minji at a press conference last year. I never expected that a year later, I would be saying the same thing to them.
While some may doubt Minji, Hanni, and Danielle’s sincerity, I want to believe what they wrote at the end of their statement: We will continue to return with sincere music and performances.’
I truly mean it. Since their emergency press conference last year, I’ve always hoped for a smooth return to their activities.
When Minji asked, ‘Do you understand?’, my first thought was, ‘Honestly, I don’t understand, but is that really ok?’ Furthermore, I felt bad that her answer became a meme, being brought up in every NJZ-related issue. Beyond that, I had no other thoughts or feelings.”

In the article, they emphasize that they should repay fans who have supported and waited for them with genuine music and performances, which will also be a way for them to rebuild trust and move forward with future activities.
They added that what is needed is sincerity and authenticity, and not a battle of wits and nerves.
From now on, it’s not about understanding, but about basic manners and courtesy.
