BTS's Jungkook took to social media today, posting a powerful message that has sparked conversation across the K-pop world. He shared a photo of his pet dog on Instagram with the caption, "Artists are not guilty," along with five heart emojis in blue, pink, yellow, green, and purple—the same colors associated with New Jeans.
Hours later, Jungkook added another post saying, "Don't use them," raising speculation that he’s supporting New Jeans amid their conflict with HYBE. Fans are praising Jungkook for speaking up, seeing it as a sign that K-pop idols can and should use their platforms to voice important issues.
Big Hit Music, Jungkook's agency, clarified that his post reflected his belief that young artists should not be used as shields in disputes, further elevating the message of protecting artist rights.
Jungkook's move has been widely celebrated by fans, who admire his bravery in standing up for fellow artists and calling for fairness in the industry.
