NewJeans - Music video 'OMG'

The remarkable scene is at the end of the mv, when a woman leaves a malicious comment on social networks: "Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with this music video? Idols just need to show a pretty face Is dancing enough to make a music mv?". At this time, Minji - who thought he was a psychiatrist patted the woman's shoulder and said, "Time's up. Time to go (to the hospital)".

While many NewJeans fans saw the footage as a warning to malicious commenters, some netizens were not pleased. They pointed out that the attitude and way the OMG mv describes mental illness is inappropriate. Netizens also raised concerns that comparing malicious commenters with psychiatric patients could create prejudice against people with real illnesses.

Regarding the controversy, pop critic Kim Do Heon said, "The last scene in the 'OMG' MV is a bad choice and gives viewers an unpleasant experience. Despite the controversy, NewJeans and the group's agency seems to let the public interpret the MV however they want.
