NewJeans’ Hanni Was Convinced That HYBE Despised The Group

On October 15, NewJeans’ Hanni shared why she attended the audit as a reference person.

She revealed that she mentioned an incident between her and another artist’s manager at HYBE.

I talked about the workplace bullying I experienced during a live broadcast with the members.

She revealed that she decided to attend so that something like this would not happen again.

I don’t understand why I must go through this and why that person said something like that in a work environment. This has happened more than once or twice, and if I continue to stay quiet, it will pass and be buried. This could happen to anyone. I decided to attend, hoping current trainees, seniors,  juniors, or colleagues would not experience this.

She also shared that there was a certain type of atmosphere at the company.

At the beginning of my debut, I met several higher-ups, but they never greeted me when I greeted them. While living in Korea, I understood that you should greet elders well. I thought not greeting them was rude as a person. There was a certain type of atmosphere at the company. It’s hard to say anything, and only people that have been affected could feel it.

After seeing various posts online, she came to the conclusion that the company did not like the group.

I also saw employees badmouthing the group on the Blind app. I even saw the PR team director trying to lower our Japanese debut score. Seeing that, I came to the realization that this wasn’t just a feeling, but I was convinced that the company hated us.

Meanwhile, her response to a reporter regarding her fans garnered much attention online.
