On October 15, Hanni appeared as a witness for the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee’s comprehensive audit of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Economic, Social, and Labor Council. During her appearance, she broke down in tears while claiming that she experienced workplace bullying at HYBE.
Hanni revealed that when she encountered other artists at the HYBE building, a manager from that team allegedly told her to “ignore them.” She also stated that Kim Joo-young, the new CEO of ADOR, knew about the situation but did not take appropriate action, citing a lack of evidence. Additionally, she mentioned that “a high-ranking figure (Bang Si-hyuk, HYBE chairman)” never greeted the members before or after their debut. Furthermore, Hanni claimed that HYBE employees tried to undermine NewJeans’ performance in Japan by spreading negative rumors on anonymous sites and bad-mouthing them online.
After her testimony, Hanni shared, “I didn’t want to cry, but tears came out.” The other NewJeans members also showed their support for her. Danielle comforted her when she returned to the dorm, proudly saying, “Our amazing unnie.” Minji, who could only catch the beginning of Hanni’s testimony due to her schedule, later looked up photos of Hanni crying and said, “I shouted ‘That’s my girl’ in my heart.”
However, public opinion became divided when it was revealed that NewJeans had generated 110.3 billion won in revenue just two months after their debut, with each member receiving 5.2 billion won (~3,79M USD). Amid this, Hanni’s outfit at the National Assembly hearing gained renewed attention.
Hanni wore a white shirt with an ivory knit vest and jeans, showcasing a demure look. The shirt and vest were priced at around 400,000 won each, and the jeans were about 200,000 won. She also carried a 4.3 million won small bag by Gucci, along with a 2.2 million won star-shaped ring and 1.5 million won shoes. The total cost of Hanni’s “National Assembly fashion” was estimated to be around 10 million won (~7,3K USD), sparking another round of debate among netizens.
