Hani appeared as a reference at the parliamentary inspection of the Environment and Labor Committee (Hwan Labor Committee) on the 15th and said, `They say they did their best, but I don't think so.'
Hani attended a parliamentary audit as a reference and testified about bullying in Hive, the parent company of Adore, the agency. It is eye-catching because it is unusual for a K-pop idol singer to attend a parliamentary audit. Kim Joo-young, CEO of Door, also attended the parliamentary audit as a witness.
Earlier in September, Hani hosted an emergency YouTube live broadcast with the members and complained of bullying, saying she was told to 'ignore" by another label manager in Hive. The members of New Jin's claim that they informed the situation to Kim Joo-young, CEO of A-Door, but that there was no action.
On the same day, Hwanho-young Ahn, Park Young, and Woo Jae-joon asked Hani and Kim about the incident, and some say that Hani is not included in the worker's contract as an artist in Hive, making it ambiguous to view it as an outcast in the workplace. In this regard, CEO Kim replied "I understand that Hani is not included in the workers, but that is not the point."
Regarding the action of the case, "I think I have taken all the steps I can take, but seeing that Hani came to this situation with this feeling makes me look back on whether there was something I could have done better."
However, Hani said, `I'm sorry, but I don't think he did his best. There was enough to do. And you said you would keep us, but you don't seem to have the will to fight, or to do anything. But I don't think I can say that I did my best. I hope you can solve this problem quickly."
In response, CEO Kim said "As Hani said, we will listen to the artist's voice and strengthen communication." In the current situation, there are conflicting arguments between the parties, so I think it is more important than anything else to confirm the facts. We will do our best to sincerely cooperate with the ongoing Labor Office investigation so that the facts can be clearly revealed"I vowed.
