NewJean’s Hanni broke down while testifying during the parliamentary audit.
On October 15, NewJean’s Hanni appeared before the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee held a parliamentary audit. Hanni appeared as a reference while HYBE’s CEO, Kim Jooyoung, appeared as a witness. The audit was concerning workplace harassment and bullying of K-pop idols. This also followed Hanni’s previous comments that a HYBE label manager had told other idols to ignore her.
In the session, Hanna revealed that this incident of a manager encouraging other idols to ignore her is not the only work harassment and bullying case that she experienced while under HYBE. She added that since her debut, she always brushed shoulders with high-ranking officials who never acknowledged her greetings. Hanni clarified that despite following the Korean culture of respecting elders, none of her greetings were acknowledged, terming it as unprofessional and disrespectful to human beings.
Hanni also highlighted the incident where HYBE employees badmouthed NewJeans on the Blind platform undermining the group’s accomplishments. Hanni confirmed that her efforts of fighting for justice were trashed after HYBE’s CEO downplayed the incident claiming the lack of valid evidence. In confidence, Hanni commented that HYBE is trying to bring NewJeans down for their skyrocketing success. In tears, Hanni thanked Korea for allowing her to do what she loves, but also expressed her frustrations because the individuals and parties who should be apologizing are avoiding responsibility. Hanni closed the curtain highlighting that although the law may not solve all world problems, respecting each other as human beings would eliminate workplace harassment and bullying.
