The group NewJeans has expressed their concerns regarding internal conflicts at their agency, ADOR, saying, "Of course, we're worried about being subtly ostracized when there's no one to protect us."
On the 11th, during a live broadcast on a YouTube account that wasn't NewJeans' official account, member Hanni shared her experience: "The 4th floor of HYBE's building is where we get our hair and makeup done, and it's a place where other staff come and go. One day, I was alone in the hallway when another team's manager and their members passed by, and I greeted them. Later, when they came back, the manager, loud enough for me to hear, told them, 'Ignore her.' I still don’t understand why I had to go through that," she said.
Another member, Minji, added, "I was shocked after hearing about what Hanni went through. How could a manager of another team pass by and say 'ignore her' where everyone could hear? I experienced something unimaginable, and they neither apologized nor admitted their wrongdoing. I worry about how many more similar incidents might happen in the future."
-Who is it?
-Are they even human?
-Aren’t they crazy?
-This is seriously outrageous... Are they not seeing her as a person?
-So infuriating... You can tell what the company's atmosphere is like. Why are they treating the kids like this? It’s insane.
-...If you heard something like that at work, it would seriously give you a breakdown...
-Hanni-ya ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Fuck you, HYBEㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ
-Whoa, who the fuck was that?
-Hann-ya...
-Who is it? Show your face, you crazy people.
-How can a grown adult treating young girls like this?? Fuck.
-I hope it backfires on them. I sincerely wish they fall apart.
-This company is rotten. Why force other idols to participate in bullying? This is so wrong.
-Issue a public apology.
-This is child abuse.
-This is straight-up workplace bullying.
-This company is beyond help.
-Isn't this workplace harassment and child abuse? There’s a minor in the group.
