Systematic malign complaints filed with the Korea Tourism Organization, the "Girls Planet 999" is actually NewJeans' Anti-Gallery

The agency expressed its position in connection with the malicious complaint that the group NewJeans provided Japanese artist products as an event product for Korea Tourism Organization, which serve as an honorary ambassador.

"We have not consulted with the Korea Tourism Organization in advance, and we have never received the project," an official from ADOR said to a newspaper o. The 16th.

The Korea Tourism Organization held a comment for "Korea's Day Trip" and offered NewJeans goods as an event product for 20 winners.

Goods presented as free gifts are "Right Now," an album in which NewJeans collaborated with Takashi Murakami, a Japanese contemporary art master, and is a draw string bag included in the album. The string bag is engraved with the New jeans character, who is shaped as a character, as well as Superflet flower, a character with the same identity as Takashi Murakami.

As NewJeans' new song album was a collaboration with world-reowned master Takashi Murakami, related goods seems to have been presented.

In the meantime, posts were posted on the Girls Planet 999 gallery on the online community DC Inside asking if the Korean Tourism Organization will hold Japanese artists' products as an event, and some organizational complaints were reported to the Korea Tourism Organization.

Takashi Murakami is a writer who not only claims to be a fan of NewJeans, but also shows a "friendly" aspect by frequently visiting Korea, holding a special exhibitions and giving praised to Korean culture.

In June, ADOR said, "We have been aware of malicious slander, insults, and defamation by spreading false information regarding the members of NewJeans, and we are also aware of the recent increase in the number of malicious posts directed at NewJeans using anonymity.
