[MyDaily = Reporter Lee Seung-gil] NewJeans member Hani of the group is scheduled to attend the parliamentary audit of the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee on the 15th. It is very unusual for a current top idol member to attend a national audit.
▲ Why is Hani attending the national audit?
Hani’s attendance at the national audit is closely related to the allegations raised within her agency during NewJeans’ YouTube live broadcast on the 11th of last month. At that time, Hani claimed that while she was waiting in the hallway of the Hive headquarters, a manager from another group told her to “ignore” him. This statement caused a significant controversy among fans.
In connection with this, Kim Joo-young, the CEO of NewJeans’ agency Adore, has also been selected as a witness for the national audit, and the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee is expected to question the issues of bullying within idol groups and the inadequate response from the agency.
▲ Hani: “I will go out.”
Regarding her attendance at the national audit, Hani expressed her decision through the ‘Poning’ platform for communicating with fans on the 9th. She said, “I’ve decided. I’ll go to the parliament. I’ll go alone to the national audit,” explaining that she is going out for herself, her members, and her fan club Burnies. She added, “Managers or the company still don’t know,” and said, “I’ve had a lot of thoughts, but going out is the right thing to do. I’ll do well and come back.”
Regarding the reason for making the significant decision to attend the national audit, Hani said, “I don’t know what will happen through this experience, but I think it will be a big learning experience for me,” revealing her determination to protect NewJeans and the fandom.

▲ Main Points of Interest
At the upcoming national audit where Hani is expected to attend, the key issues to be addressed will include bullying issues occurring within idol groups in the K-POP industry and the inadequate response from the agencies. Hani will participate as a reference, while Adore’s CEO Kim Joo-young will appear as a witness to engage in questioning and answering. Especially concerning the conflicting claims between Hani and the agency regarding NewJeans’ bullying suspicions, there is growing interest in how each side’s stance will be revealed during the parliamentary audit.
As the public anticipates Hani’s statements at the national audit, there is a keen focus on what she will say at the parliamentary audit venue. Particularly noteworthy is that a foreign member with limited Korean language skills will come to the national audit and provide direct testimony. The situation is one where expectations and concerns coexist about what statements will be made regarding the hardships experienced by NewJeans members and the agency’s response.

Already, the NewJeans fandom, Burnies, has filed a report to the police against the top executives of Adore and Hive, preparing for legal action to hold those involved accountable. Hani’s attendance at the national audit has the potential to be a significant turning point in the K-POP industry, and there is a mix of expectations and concerns about the content that will be discussed during this audit. There is a growing interest in what statements Hani will make and how they will impact the K-POP industry and the public.
