NewJeans Danielle’s Mother Hammers Down On HYBE For Allegedly Conspiring With Dispatch
On July 24, 2024, a report from Sports World emerged, featuring strong criticism from the parents of NewJeans‘ members against Source Music, coupled with their expressed backing of ADOR. The report highlighted that these actions by the parents were directly triggered by Dispatch‘s earlier article, which ADOR has contested, prompting the label to announce its intention to pursue legal measures.
The parents of the NewJeans’ members had strong opinions, speaking out against HYBE and Source Music. They gave various testimonies including horrifying accounts of what the girls endured under the company as trainees.
According to Minji’s mother, in the dorm that Source Music had provided for Minji when she was 13 years old, the room had mold and had roaches running around. Hyein and Haerin‘s mothers claim that they have evidence of how the company neglected the members.
The public is angered at HYBE at the moment, after the exposés.

- Minji… Just what happened that made the parents step up like this… NewJeans’ parents really tried to hold it in.
- “At the time of contracting with Source Music, BigHit (HYBE now) promised that they would be the first girl group, and said that Source Music was the only label that could accept female trainees, so we we signed.” Wow, they really lied straight up but claimed to have birthed NewJeans.
- Why are people telling the parents to stay still? HYBE was the one to poke the bear first.
- I really don’t understand why they would make trainees quit school when they can’t promise debuts. The ahjussis at HYBE should stop bullying Min Hee Jin and NewJeans.
- Just wonder what HYBE and Source Music are trying to gain. Just leave them alnoe.
- Crazy… How did they hold all of that in?
- The way to make the parents stay still = HYBE needs to silently deal with this legally. If you can’t understand this, don’t speak on it.
- Just let them be. Don’t poke the bear. If you leave them alone, they will make money for you themselves. Why are you desperate to bully them, you crazy bast*rds? Because you keep poking the bear, Min Hee Jin has no choice but to hit back. Why are you playing victim? Just who is the one who started all of this?
They question why HYBE insisted on stepping up against ADOR and NewJeans, when NewJeans could be a moneymaker for them.
