Hani of the group New Jin's claimed to be bullying in the workplace.

Hani appeared as a reference at the parliamentary inspection of the Environment and Labor Committee (Hwan Labor Committee) on the 15th and said, `We have confidence that the company hates us.'

Hani will appear at the parliamentary audit as a reference and testify in connection with the harassment in Hive, the parent company of the agency, Adore. It is eye-catching because it is unusual for a K-pop idol singer to attend a parliamentary audit.

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. Representative Kim also attended the parliamentary audit as a witness.

When asked about the situation at the time, Hani said \'Ignore you', it was very ambiguous, and it was difficult to tell anyone. Because honestly, it feels like only those who have been beaten can feel it. Honestly, I thought it was my feeling, but when I see what's going on, it's like that."

Also "For example, I had a job with the manager I mentioned earlier, and I recently saw employees swearing at Newzins on an app called Blind. And I also heard a recording of the head of the PR team at the company trying to lower our Japanese performance. Looking at that, I'm convinced that our company hates us as well as how I felt."

Then "When I first told CEO Kim Joo-young about this situation, he said there was no evidence. You said there was a CCTV, but you said there was only a greeting. I definitely explained it to you, but I didn't understand if there was only a scene of greeting, so I checked with CCTV that I would check it myself. But he really only left that video, and there wasn't any behind it."

Then "But at that time, I was anxious about everything that the CEO changed his words. And since I'm a foreigner, I don't understand Korean 100% perfectly, so I recorded it so that I wouldn't miss it because it's an important place. There is evidence of lying. First of all, I asked the director if I could ask him to face the manager. It's right to solve it and go. However, only the scene of greeting was recorded on video for 8 seconds, and the scene behind it was not shown on CCTV. If it's a misunderstanding, I want to solve it," he added.
