NewJeans’ Hanni made a powerful statement on October 15 at the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee’s state audit, where she appeared as a witness to share her experiences with idol bullying and workplace harassment. Her courageous decision to attend was driven by a desire to prevent future occurrences of such behaviour in the industry. Hanni highlighted a troubling interaction with Bang Si Hyuk, the CEO of HYBE, stating that he had never acknowledged her greetings, which she perceived as rude. This comment adds to the mounting scrutiny surrounding Bang Si Hyuk, especially following months of criticism related to his ongoing feud with Min Hee Jin. According to Koreaboo, Hanni even said "Chairman Bang Si Hyuk never accepted my greetings. I understand that in Korea it is culturally demanded that you show respect to your elders, but seeing how he never accepted my greetings, I think he is a rude person." Her testimony not only illuminates her struggles but also calls for systemic change within the K-pop industry.
