The National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee has adopted Hani, a member of the popular idol group Newzins who has been embroiled in a controversy over bullying, as a reference for next month's parliamentary audit.
The committee held a general meeting on the 30th and voted on 35 witnesses and reference persons for the parliamentary audit. Ahn Ho-young, chairman of the Economic, Social and Labor Committee, applied for Hani as a reference at a comprehensive parliamentary audit of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Economic, Social and Labor Committee on the 25th of next month, saying he would question idol bullying and workplace bullying. In addition, Kim Joo-young, chief executive officer of Hive, who also serves as CEO of New Jeans' agency, was adopted as a witness for reasons such as poor response.
Earlier on the 11th, New Jin's called for the return of former CEO Min Hee-jin, who was dismissed from his agency Adore, through YouTube Live. In the process, Hive was shot, and Hani claimed to have suffered bullying within Hive, the parent company of Audor. I greeted another team member at the makeup shop, and the team manager said to that member "Ignore (Newzins)." Hani said in front of me, "I can hear everything, but I can hear it." I don't understand why I should be subjected to that now, and I think it's ridiculous."
In response, some Newzins fans filed a complaint with the National Newspaper, saying that the issue constitutes 'bullying in the workplace'. Chairman Ahn said in a phone call, `There were many calls from around us to call Kim Joo-young as a witness"Then, Hani was also called as a reference and explained, "The purpose is to investigate the truth of the bullying controversy.""
Attention is being paid to whether Representative Audor Kim Joo-young and New Jin's Hani will conduct a parliamentary audit of the government.
