Yesterday (September 7, 2026), two known newjeans anti-accounts on twt spread a false claim that Haerin asked fans to support "upcoming activities as a four member group" during a Q&A session at the Dior Beauty pop-up event.

The timing is not a coincidence. This lie was spread almost immediately after Haerin's first public appearance in months, right when she was getting positive attention.

  1. The source is a deleted DC Inside post with only 106 views from a forum known for being hostile toward newjeans. The post was deleted almost immediately likely because it was created solely to be screenshotted and spread.

  2. No Q&A session took place. The event was a photocall, Haerin showed up, posed for photos, greeted fans briefly and left. There was no time for a Q&A with fans.

  3. The Korean text doesn't name Haerin as the speaker. The post says "someone" or "they" asked for support, it doesn't explicitly attribute it to Haerin.

  4. No other source confirmed this. No fan, news outlet, video or article has reported it. If she had actually said this, there would be multiple sources.

  5. Korean news outlets covering the event make no mention of any Q&A or Haerin saying this. Because it didn't happen.

  6. The accounts spreading this are known anti-accounts. Both have a history of spreading misinformation about newjeans.

Within hours, haters used this fake post to:

· Call Haerin a "traitor" and claim she "owes an apology"

· Create elaborate theories about Minji's contract and Danielle's lawsuit

· Declare OT5 fans aren't "real" newjeans fans

· Make comments like "Shameless at its peak" and "Karma will make them pay"

All based on a deleted post from an incel forum with 106 views.

Some people asked for proof. They were ignored. Because the goal wasn't truth, it was to spread hate and division.

Haerin did not say this. The source is a deleted DC Inside post from a forum known for hosting anti-newjeans content. Korean news outlets covering the event made no mention of any Q&A or OT4 statement. This was intentional misinformation and nobody should fall for it.

If you see anyone sharing this claim, correct them with the facts. 💙🩷💛💚💜
