BTS member Jungkook has seemingly voiced his support for K-pop girl group NewJeans in new Instagram posts amid the ongoing HYBE–ADOR feud.BTS’ Jungkook uploaded two posts of his dog to his personal Instagram page on September 14, with captions that seem to reference K-pop quintet NewJeans.

The first featured five different coloured hearts and the English sentence, “Artists are not guilty.”A post shared by Bam's dad (@bowwow_bam)Fans began speculating that the post was made in support of NewJeans, as the colours of the five hearts match the quintet’s individual official colours.

Later that same day, Jungkook posted a second photo to the same page, this time only with the English caption: “Don’t use them.”Amid the speculation, Jungkook’s label Big Hit Music released a statement, per MyDaily, on the same day, where it clarified the intention behind the singer’s cryptic posts.

However, the label did not explicitly mention the ADOR-HYBE feud or NewJeans.“We have confirmed that he made the posts because he thought that under no circumstances should young artists be dragged into conflicts or used as a shield,” the statement read, as translated by Soompi.A post shared by Bam's dad (@bowwow_bam)Jungkook’s posts came just three days after the K-pop girl group hosted a surprise YouTube livestream on September 11 calling for HYBE to reinstate former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin.
