Actor Kim Eui-sung appeared as a host in Coupang Play 'SNL Korea Season 6' (hereinafter 'SNL'), which was released on the 19th, and performed comedy.
In the video released that day, Ji Ye-eun vaguely copied the tone of Hani, a Vietnamese-Australian national, saying, `I came to attend because I was bullied at work.'

When the video was released, some netizens responded, "'It is xenophobic to imitate the pronunciation vaguely'", "'Why are you making the victim a laughing stock?'", "'It is not appropriate for a parody'", "'In the early 20s, a girl bravely attended the parliamentary audit and even showed tears, but why are you mocking her?'"
In particular, some netizens posted on Ji Ye-eun's personal social network service (SNS), "Hani was more serious than anyone else."He is demanding an apology with the hashtag '#SNLKorea_Hani_apologize'.

When he encountered another artist at Hive's office building, the team manager said "Ignore you" and Kim Joo-young, the new CEO, did not take appropriate measures because there was no evidence.
He also said that he had never received greetings from members before and after his debut. Company employees also claimed to have suffered damage such as back-viral and back-talking about Newzins through anonymous sites to disparage their Japanese performance.
After attending the National Assembly, Hani expressed her feelings, "'I didn't want to cry, but I cried.'" The members also cheered for him.
Hani's alleged workplace harassment was raised after Newzins' YouTube live broadcast on the 11th of last month. Hani was waiting in the hallway of Hive's office building in the broadcast, and claimed bullying at work, saying that the manager of another Hive-affiliated label, Belief Lab, told him 'Ignore you'. At the time, Hani said that he had been constantly ostracized within Hive, and `I was convinced that the company hated us.'
