[theqoo] "HYBE'S EXPOSER" SEOUL SHINMUM REPORTER'S LIES, "HANDED THE RECORDING TO MIN HEEJIN BEFORE RESIGNING" ft. REPORTER DENIES

Claims have emerged that journalist Jang Hyung-woo from the Seoul Shinmun, who revealed that "HYBE is belittling NewJeans," is lying.

It has been reported that Jang has already submitted his resignation to Seoul Shinmun and that his transition to a director position at Kakao Mobility is virtually confirmed. Therefore, the assertion made in CBS's "Kim Hyun-jung's News Show" about a "current journalist's revelation" is deemed incorrect. Additionally, while it was stated that the motivation for disclosing the recordings was due to the live broadcast held by NewJeans members in September, it has been claimed that the recordings were made in July and were already handed over to former CEO Min Hee-jin at that time. On the 25th, a video titled "Lies of a Current Journalist... HYBE’s Recovery Plan" was released on the channel of entertainment commentator Lee Jin-ho.

Lee Jin-ho stated, "On the significant date of the 25th, when NewJeans members issued a warning, a meaningful revelation came out," adding, "Jang Hyung-woo interviewed on CBS's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show,' claiming to be a current journalist."

Lee Jin-ho further stated, "Jang Hyung-woo claims that his decision to reveal the recordings came after watching the live broadcast of NewJeans in September, but that’s a lie. Former CEO Min Hee-jin protested to HYBE using these recordings during a meeting on July 22. The recordings were made on July 17. When HYBE asked, 'How did you get the recordings?' Min Hee-jin responded, 'I received them from the journalist.'"

He added, "This is a serious violation of journalistic ethics. A journalist should listen to both sides and write objectively. However, if a journalist passes on information from one side to the other, especially to a party in a dispute, it creates a precedent that should never happen. It sets a bad example for junior journalists."

Moreover, he stated, "The title of being a current journalist is also misleading. He submitted his resignation to Seoul Shinmun a week ago, and given the reports of his transition to Kakao, I confirmed that he is indeed going to Kakao Mobility as a director. Kakao's policy is that contracts are signed on the day of starting work."

Lee Jin-ho pointed out that while Jang claims Seoul Shinmun has no connection to NewJeans, the articles show a favorable bias towards Min Hee-jin. He mentioned that in July, NewJeans attended the "Munch Exhibition," which idols typically do not attend, and noted that the exhibition was organized by Seoul Shinmun and KBS Media. Jang claimed there was no intersection between the company and NewJeans, but their interests were aligned.

He also stated, "HYBE had already identified related issues regarding the recordings on July 24 and sent a notice of claim to Seoul Shinmun. Since the communication took place when Jang was acting as a journalist, the notice was sent to the newspaper."

During Lee Jin-ho's live broadcast, CBS changed the title regarding Jang Hyung-woo from "Current Journalist's Revelation" to "Former Journalist's Revelation."

[theqoo] "HYBE'S EXPOSER" JOURNALIST, ALREADY RESIGNED... "I NEVER HANDED THE RECORDINGS TO MIN HEEJIN"

Journalist Jang Hyung-woo from the Seoul Shinmun, who revealed recordings claiming that "HYBE is belittling NewJeans," has been confirmed to no longer be employed at the company.

On the 26th, Jang stated in a phone call with Money Today, "I have left Seoul Shinmun," adding, "It's not confirmed that I will be joining Kakao Mobility." Kakao Mobility also stated, "Nothing has been finalized regarding Jang's employment."

In response to criticisms that he violated journalistic ethics by improperly passing the recordings to a party involved in the dispute, he clarified, "I did not give them directly to Min Hee-jin."

He also denied rumors of being close to former CEO Min Hee-jin, saying, "We are not familiar with each other." He suggested that the recordings were likely passed on to Min Hee-jin by an acquaintance of his.
