'Disturbing controversy'New Jin's Hani attends the National Audit Office's reference witness'Relaxed smile'
Hani, a member of the group New Jin's, attended the parliamentary inspection of the Environment and Labor Committee as a reference.

Hani appeared today (15th) to attend a national audit of the Economic, Social and Labor Commission and agencies affiliated with the Ministry of Employment and Labor as a reference.

Hani appeared in a white shirt, a knit vest and jeans, and moved on with a smile. Hani then entered the National Assembly without answering the reporters' questions.

Hani is expected to testify at the National Assembly today about workplace bullying and idol bullying within Hive.

In an emergency YouTube live broadcast last month, Hani complained of bullying because the manager of another agency within Hive walked past her and said 'Ignore you'.

At the time, Hani was waiting for someone by myself in a space where other artists and employees came and went. Other groups (Eilets), one of their managers passed by me and greeted each other. When they came out again, their manager (looked at me) 'Ignore you'. I can hear everything, but I said that in front of me. I don't understand why I should be subjected to that now, and I think it's ridiculous."

Then "I was scared that the other members would get hurt, too. I told the new CEO (CEO Kim Joo-young) about this, but he said there was no evidence and it was too late. When I saw him trying to move on, I felt that there was no one to protect us and that he didn't have a heart to care for us. I told you honestly, but I felt like a liar in an instant," he added.

On this day, Hive label Adore Kim Joo-young will also appear as a witness.
