Recently, NewJeans' Hanni made headlines by announcing her solo appearance at the upcoming National Assembly inspection. This decision comes amidst bullying allegations within the group and a petition filed by fans to the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Hanni is determined to resolve the conflicts between the agency and fans, and she’s ready to take her first steps toward the National Assembly. Let’s dive into why she made this bold move.
Hanni announced her intention to attend the National Assembly through the fan communication platform, Phoning. She shared that she wants to be honest with fans and grow through this experience. Emphasizing that she’s doing this for her members and fans, Hanni made it clear that her decision wasn’t taken lightly.
On September 11th, Hanni spoke about the issue of bullying during a YouTube live broadcast. She shared an incident that took place in HYBE’s hallway, where she claimed to have overheard other celebrities and managers say, “Ignore her.” This escalated into a conflict among NewJeans members and prompted fans to file a complaint with the Ministry of Employment and Labor. However, NewJeans’ agency, BELIFT LAB, denied these allegations, stating that Hanni’s claims were untrue.
Hanni took to Phoning to explain her solo appearance. She stated that she’s doing this for herself, her members, and the fans. Even though her company and managers are unaware of her plan, she asked fans to trust and support her decision. Hanni expressed hope that this experience will bring growth and reassure her fans that everything will be okay.
Hanni’s brave choice has added a deeper meaning to her relationship with both the NewJeans members and the fans. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect them, and it’s clear that all eyes are now on how this situation will unfold. What kind of changes will Hanni bring? We’ll have to wait and see.
