On the 11th, Newzins members delivered a warning message to Audor's parent company Hive regarding former CEO Min's dismissal through an emergency live broadcast. While the conflict between former CEO Min and Hive was first publicized in April, this is the first time that the members of New Jeans have directly expressed their position on this. Unlike his support for former CEO Min, he directly mentioned Hive and insisted on the return of former CEO Min to his position as CEO of Airdo.
Responses to this live broadcast are mixed. Some say it is regrettable that young members would have come forward and expressed their position if they were disappointed, while others say that they can demand better treatment as their artists, but claims about company management are not for the members to be involved.
This also proves that this live broadcast is a hot topic. Although Newzins is currently in a top girl group position in the global K-pop market, it is certainly unusual for relatively low-year-olds to directly express their position on the company's internal feud. As such, it is necessary to take a look at the stories and what the members had to tell themselves and what they wanted.

The members of made it clear that they were the first to voluntarily broadcast live. It is claimed that not only Hive officials but also current Adore employees were not aware of their live broadcasting plans. He also emphasized that there was no intervention by former representative Min.
The members said "Even the Audor staff didn't know about our live today, so they must have been very surprised " I know there may be some wild words that CEO Min Hee-jin is asking us to do it. To be clear about this, this is a live performance that the five of us prepared because we really wanted to say something. Even the Bunnies (official fan club) are all stepping up and helping out, and I thought we're not the only ones hiding"I let off the rhyme.
The reason for doing the live broadcast is that "We've already talked to the management, but we're preparing for the live because it feels like we can't communicate." In addition, saying that he was treated unfairly by Hibe, "There were so many things that we didn't understand from our common sense. I really doubt Hive is really a company for Newzins. I hope you know how we came to do this live," he asked.
He also said, "I don't know who to trust and rely on in the future," adding, "So if I don't tell you like this, I don't think anyone will listen, so I'm encouraged."

He also specifically mentioned that he was dissatisfied with the hive. First of all, he mentioned the recent leak of videos of Newzins members as trainees. Members said "We were really surprised to see that. I really didn't understand that the company that had to protect us leaked these data without managing them. There is a sense of distrust that other data will not be managed as well."
"So we asked for protection from Hive with our CEO and parents, but Hive ignored it and the CEO was dismissed in the meantime," he said, referring to former CEO Min's recent resignation from the post of CEO of Audor.

also claimed to have been ignored by other labels in Hive. Hani said, "I met a manager with another idol member at a makeup place where I often encounter other idol teams, and I heard the manager say 'Ignore you' to the point where I can hear you."I explained the situation at the time.
Then Minji "I was really shocked to hear what Hani went through. How can the manager of a team tell you to ignore it so that everyone can hear it. Even though I told the company, the company didn't do anything, and your team didn't even admit its mistake, let alone apologize. It's a very difficult situation because there's no one to protect us."
When Hani was told that there was nothing to do because there was no evidence, she thought 'There are no people who can protect us, so you have no intention of protecting us'. I felt like a liar in an instant. CEO Min Hee-jin fought for us, but those who are now are not. I'm worried and scared about what else will happen in the future."
▶Hive issues pointed out by the New Jeans members...#3. Conflict between Director Shin and Audor
The recent conflict between director Shin Woo-seok and Audor, the dolphin gang that produced the Newzins music video, also took issue. Director Shin expressed anger, saying that contents such as the director's cut of the music video 'ETA' and the camcorder video 'Dito' were posted on Ban Hee-soo's YouTube channel, but were deleted at the request of Adore. On the other hand, Odor is confronting content posted without consultation with advertisers, saying that it requested to stop posting.
In this regard "Of course, we are worried about our future, but we are afraid that the works we have made are also at riskThe members "I don't understand that these things happen when there are people right in front of us who have worked with us at the risk of life and death as much as we do. "What should not have happened with director Shin Woo-seok a while ago should not have happened. Please respect those who worked for us. What you're doing now is never for us."
Also, a week after the CEO was dismissed, I couldn't work with the director I've been working with, and I'm afraid I'll break up with other staff members"I want to work with the people around me who have grown me mentally and instilled life, but I don't understand the situation now, which is constantly interrupting us from the outside. I just can't understand what's for us and what's driving Newzins to grow."
Ban Hee-soo's YouTube channel also expressed fear that he could lose ownership of the channel due to the conflict with director Shin, given that contents in which Newzins communicate with fans are posted. Members said "We almost lost the works that represented our Newzins and Bunnies relationship and we don't want to lose anything else anymore."
In addition, "We still have goals we want to do together, but it makes us so lethargic that we can lose the work we have done so far, let alone the future." I made this place to ask you to stop these tired behaviors," he added.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with being unilaterally notified of the news of former representative Min's dismissal. Adore held a board meeting on the 27th of last month and appointed Kim Joo-young as the new head of Adore. At the time, former representative Min said that the board of directors was suddenly convened, and pointed out that the board's decision regarding the dismissal was procedurally problematic.
Members "We learned from the article that the CEO was dismissed that day, and everyone was shocked. As an artist belonging to Hive, the company's unilateral notification convinced me that 'you're not respecting us at all. I heard from the manager that the new CEO wants to say hello to us. From the first thing he did when he came to Odor, he didn't give us any faith. I can see that the situations that have happened so far have been just words."
▶Hive issues pointed out by the New Jeans members...#5. Just before the comeback 'Min Hee-jin's breach of trust'
In April, a week before Newzins released a new song 'Bubble Sword', Hive also summoned former CEO Min's claim of breach of duty. The members voiced their voices, "'I want to ask once again what made the news for Newzins by publishing an article about the CEO's breach of trust that he couldn't help promote it a week before Newzins' comeback at Hive.'"
While the conflict between former representative Min and Hive was known in April, even though it continues to this day, he confessed that "unnecessary and tired stories about Newzins have been continuing for half a year, and I feel so uncomfortable as a party."

Sea emphasized strong trust with former representative Min. They said "Since our debut, we have had enough time to get to know each other personally with Min Hee-jin. At that time, we had a fear of adults and society, but Min Hee-jin was different and trustworthy" he said.
We all know about the issues, but we've been able to work well with the CEO until now"It's natural that we want to work with this CEO," he said.
In addition, "As I said earlier, our dream was to do the music we wanted to do with CEO Min Hee-jin, and we tried to do it, but now we can't do it and we can't even experiment with the plans we've set up."
Those who answered, "'We were just trying to achieve our dreams, what did we do wrong?' expressed their upset feelings, saying, "'I'm sorry and sorry why our Bunnies fans, who watched us and comforted us and made happy memories with each other, have to go through this and worry about why we shouldn't even do it.'"

Strongly delivered a warning message to new management and Hive. "I tried to follow the announcement of the new management at first, but the problem got bigger as I went on."Don't just say it's for the artist, let us rely on it and enjoy the work."
At the same time, he pointed out that "the way Hive works now is dishonest and not the right way when we've been through it" and "I don't want to conform, sympathize with, or follow the society in which those people (Hive) belong."
He also insisted that former representative Min should not be bullied. Those who turned to Hive "Please don't disturb me anymore"I hope you stop bothering our CEO Min Hee-jin from a human perspective. To be honest, I feel so sorry for the CEO and Hive seems to be an inhumane company.
In addition, they ask "What are we going to learn from such a company?" "I'm not asking you to do better." I think you can do your job well in your own place"He also said.

In particular, he strongly requested the position of former CEO Min's Airdo representative. They emphasized that "What we want is the original adore that integrates management and production with CEO Min Hee-jin" and "Please return the CEO to the original adore, not the current unfamiliar situation and strangers."
At the same time, we set a specific deadline for a reply to Chairman Bang Si-hyuk of Hive. Finally, they said "I hope Chairman Bang and Hive will make a wise choice to normalize Adore by the 25th."
