Fans Divided

Fans' Tweets:
ᴮᴱKARMA LOVES BTS⁷: But why with Cube like there are ao many better choices????? Like anyone, anyone is better???
KeenaTwo heartsClown face: Preach!! If she had joined BH then people would have been shouting nepotism
Ot7.is.mi.vidaPurple heart: SHUT UP OMG REALLY??! Why cube tho that company doesn't care about their idols SkullSkull
YeJunie: As a fashion designer/consultant. This will allow her to expand her business without being overshadowed by her brother and his company. (It's also so she won't be shown favoritism as well. She wants to be her own boss.)
Nickos Mabasa Delos Santos (ᜈᜃᜐ᜔ ᜋᜊᜐ)Flag of Philippines: It's a rightful decision that Jiwoo made to sign with CUBE rather than HYBE /BH because there will be comparisons of her and hobi.She strives on her own accord to make a name of herself and own achievement that she can proudly proclaim as her own. Woman Empowerment!! Go Jiwoo!!!!
badz Rainbow flag: like can you imagine the possible judgments towards her if she got onto bighit? nepotism issues might arise so this might actually be a smart move on her. she's working on her own terms, let her be.
Haf: Why are people mad at this when she actually signed as a fashion influencer and not an idol...she's an adult who is capable of making her own decisions...I'm sick of 13 year old kids dictating someone's life.. #Mejiwoo
