Hanni of NewJeans to Address Workplace Bullying at National Assembly

Well, it seems that Hanni from NewJeans has been summoned to the grand stage of government, where she is expected to testify at the state audit next month. Yes, you heard that right—our beloved pop star is trading her sequined outfits for something a bit more formal, thanks to the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee, which unfurled a resolution on September 30 demanding the presence of both Hanni and HYBE’s Ju Young Kim. The topic of the day? Workplace bullying. Nothing like a little bit of drama to spice up the world of K-pop!

Now, let’s get one thing straight. Just because you’re chosen as a witness doesn’t mean you have to put on your best “testifying” clothes and show up if you’ve got an excuse—a valid one, mind you. Somehow, I doubt claiming to be “busy saving the world” would cut it. Should the committee find your reasoning less than acceptable, however, they’ll be summoning you like a stern schoolmarm. So, while speculation is rampant that even if Hanni stays home nursing a cup of chamomile tea, CEO Kim will still grace the proceedings with his presence, we can only wait and watch this soap opera unfold!

In a twist of fate worthy of a reality show, Hanni previously opened up during a YouTube live broadcast on September 11, shedding light on her personal experiences with workplace bullying. The honesty was refreshing, much like a splash of cold water on a warm day. And take note, this isn’t just idle gossip—the whispers are that HYBE is diving into their archives, armed with CCTV footage, to uncover the truth behind Hanni’s claims. Who knew that hidden cameras would become the K-drama plot twist we didn't know we needed?

Meanwhile, the former ADOR CEO, Min Hee Jin, seemingly couldn’t resist sharing some unreleased demo songs from NewJeans, leaving fans wide-eyed and absolutely buzzing about the group. As if that wasn’t enough, amidst this feud with HYBE, she also made public some heartwarming messages from Hanni herself. It’s as if we’re getting snippets of a story that’s evolving faster than a TikTok dance challenge. There’s even a delightful revelation from Thai star Gulf Kanawat, spilling the beans on Hanni’s genuine personality, reminding us all that there’s a real person behind the sparkling façade of stardom.

As the music world holds its breath, NewJeans’ latest album and activities now seem to be temporarily halted, leaving fans wondering what’s next on this thrilling emotional rollercoaster. Will Hanni take the stage, or will she stay cloaked in mystery? Only time—and perhaps a few more live broadcasts—will tell!
