8 Moments of Interaction between aespa and NewJeans, Still Good Friends Amidst the Controversy of HYBE and Min Hee Jin

Written by: Lily Ariani

A while ago, the public was shocked by the controversy between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, which also involved aespa. In a press conference, Min Hee Jin candidly revealed Bang Si Hyuk's cunning strategy to bring down aespa. The head of HYBE pressured Min Hee Jin to compete with aespa by debuting NewJeans.

Despite appearing to compete with each other, aespa and NewJeans are actually good friends. Lately, both groups have been interacting frequently. Here are 8 moments of interaction between aespa and NewJeans during their simultaneous comebacks.
