aespa and NewJeans Boast Touching Interactions at Comeback Stages Amid HYBE vs ADOR Dispute
When the adults are having issues, it’s always the children who end up suffering. The same case happened in the Kpop industry.
The ongoing dispute between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Heejin has dragged many Kpop artists in the process, including ILLIT, NewJeans, and even SM Entertainment’s aespa. Previously, ADOR CEO Min Heejin revealed that it had always been the main objective of HYBE Chairmain Bang Si Hyuk to defeat aespa by debuting new girl groups, including NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM.
However, it appears that the children have managed to rise above, surpassing their parents amid this unbearable controversy.
During their comeback showcases, both aespa and NewJeans were seen boasting touching interactions that warmed many fans’ hearts. As NewJeans was leaving the stage after aespa won first place on Inkigayo on May 26, the members smiled and bowed to each other. NewJeans Danielle even went her way to send an adorable heart gesture to aespa as her seniors. And the interactions have touched the hearts of both aespa and NewJeans fans.

Supporting Each Other During Comeback Promotions Amid Massive Conflicts and Drama
Along with the ongoing dispute with ADOR CEO Min Heejin, it has been a public secret that HYBE and SM Entertainment have never been in friendly terms. Last year, HYBE even participated in the attempt of taking over SM Entertainment under its multi-label company. However, the attempt failed with mutual agreement from both sides.
While the adults have been showing hostile movements towards each other, the children have risen above their parents, showing commendable examples.
Along with the public interactions with NewJeans, aespa also explained that their relationship with each other have remained supportive.
“We had a heartfelt moment with them backstage, letting them know how much we enjoyed their performance.
There’s no need to worry; we’re on great terms as colleagues.
Yes, we’re aware of the issue, but our main focus is on our own promotions. We do believe that part of the public’s love comes from our hard work, and we’re incredibly grateful for all the support shown to ‘Supernova.’”

“Music is quite objective. I believe we’re always growing and competing with ourselves rather than others. Besides, every artist has their own unique colors and charms. So, it’s impossible to compare or replace anyone.”
