NewJeans Hanni and Danielle criticized for showing disrespect to members
2023-10-30
The popular girl group NewJeans consists of three Korean members Minji, Haerin, Hyein, and two Vietnamese-Australian and Korean-Australian members Hanni, Danielle. Therefore, most of the communication among the members is done in English or Korean.
However, a recent post appeared on an online discussion board about NewJeans, captioned "honestly, I hope NewJeans members stop communicating in English."
In the article, the author expressed that Minji, Hanni, and Danielle often communicate in English. While it is welcomed by foreign fans, it could generate a sense of alienation among their Korean fans.
At the same time, the netizen also pointed out that in the recent NewJeans live broadcast, Hanni and Danielle were constantly speaking English unceasingly throughout the whole process, which agitated Hyein to the extent that she couldn't stand it and wanted to leave the scene.
Therefore, netizens eventually suggested that the members should reduce their use of English communication and try to use Korean as much as possible during live broadcasts in Korea. However, this post has stirred polarizing reactions from netizens after it was uploaded.
Other netizens who shared the same thoughts said, "There's really a sense of alienation. They know Korean, so why do they insist on communicating in English?", "Right! This is Korea", "I feel the same way, too! It's puzzling why they always speak in English", "Please show some respect to the Korean members appropriately".
On the contrary, some netizens believe that "Speaking English can communicate with more international fans, there's nothing wrong with that", "If you feel uncomfortable watching NewJeans then don't watch it, moreover they use a lot of Korean as well", "Most of the people who watch live-streams are foreigners, what's the problem with speaking English?"
