NewJeans' Hanni to Testify on Bullying in K-Pop Industry

Hanni, a member of the K-pop group NewJeans, will address workplace harassment at South Korea's National Assembly, highlighting industry challenges.

Hanni, from the popular K-pop group NewJeans, announced her decision to testify at a National Assembly audit on October 25 regarding bullying in the music industry.
Her decision comes after raising concerns about workplace harassment during a livestream, where she alleged that a manager from another group instructed members to ignore her.
The controversy began with the removal of NewJeans' former CEO Min Hee-Jin amid allegations of a hostile takeover attempt, which the band publicly opposed.
The allegations have sparked a dispute between fans of NewJeans and the group Illit, with Illit's management denying any wrongdoing.
Hanni's testimony aims to bring attention to workplace conditions in the entertainment industry, with her decision being made independently of her management and label.
