On CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' aired on the 25th, Seoul Newspaper reporter Jang Hyung-woo appeared and said "Hive's PR team intentionally distorts and denigrates the performance of Newzins" At the same time, reporter Jang released the transcript, claiming that Hive, the head of the public relations department, said "Newzins members were gaslighted by former CEO Min Hee-jin and Odor" and that he was trying to entertain himself with golf."
In this regard, Hive issued a statement to the effect that 'It is not true that he only asked to correct the wrong content, but denigrated Newzins'.
The reporter referred to Newzins' performance in Japan on July 17 and wrote that `there were 1.02 million albums sold locally,' but about 50,000 copies were sold in Japan at the time and more than 900,000 copies were sold in Korea. If the wrong information is left as it is, it could cause great confusion to the market and investors, so the request for correction was made.

The entertainment industry explained that if producers and artists are strongly bound, they can try regardless of their share ratio.'
Regarding the rumor of golf entertainment "The golf schedule with the head of the relevant media was scheduled in May, long before the call recording, but it was canceled because it was not appropriate to proceed at a sensitive time as the situation changed."," he stressed.
Hive said "Jang recorded a business call with a PR officer and leaked it to the other side of the dispute, and the company sent a proof of content to the media in July to protest. Nevertheless, the broadcast disclosed the contents of the call without the consent of the other party under the name of the report. As a reporter who must protect the inconvenience and unfairness, he announced a stern response policy, saying, "Serious violations of work ethics.'

I'll let you know.
Today, I will explain what Jang Hyung-woo, a reporter for the Seoul Newspaper, said on CBS Radio's "Kim Hyun-jung's News Show."
Referring to Newzins' performance in Japan on July 17, the journalist wrote that due to the success of the performance '102,000 albums were sold locally alone'
However, as of that time, about 50,000 copies were sold in Japan and more than 900,000 copies were sold in Korea. As a corporate PR manager, I asked for a correction because I couldn't leave the wrong information intact. If 1.02 million copies were sold in Japan alone as mentioned in the article, it can be estimated that tens of millions of copies were sold in the global market. If the wrong information is left as it is, it could cause great confusion to the market and investors, so we proceeded with the request for correction. As a corporate PR person, there is absolutely no reason to say negatively about Newzyn's performance.
In fact, Hive PR dispatched personnel to the local area so that the media could closely cover Newzins' Tokyo Dome fan meeting site to help smooth media coverage and positive reporting. Hive PR also suggested support for pop-up store coverage as well as performances to help you feel the popularity of Newzins in Japan. As a result, many on-site review articles highlighting Newzins' popularity in Japan from various angles could be exposed.
Regarding the comment 'gaslighting', the reporter asked 'How can you steal management control when you have less than 20% stake?' and the entertainment industry said that if producers and artists are bound hard, they can try regardless of their stake.
The golf schedule with the head of the media department was scheduled in May, long before Jang's phone recording, but it was canceled because it was not appropriate to proceed at a sensitive time as the situation changed.
Reporter Jang recorded a business call with a PR officer and leaked it to the other party of the dispute, and the company sent a proof of content to the media in July to protest. Nevertheless, he appeared on the show and as a reporter under the name of a tip-off, he disclosed his phone conversation with a public relations officer without the consent of the other party. As a reporter who must protect the inconvenience, it is a serious violation of work ethics. I would like to inform you that we will respond strictly to this.
