The group NewJeans has expressed their concerns regarding internal conflicts at their agency, ADOR, saying, “Of course, we’re worried about being subtly ostracized when there’s no one to protect us.”

On the 11th, during a live broadcast on a YouTube account that wasn’t NewJeans’ official account, member Hanni shared her experience: “The 4th floor of HYBE’s building is where we get our hair and makeup done, and it’s a place where other staff come and go. One day, I was alone in the hallway when another team’s manager and their members passed by, and I greeted them. Later, when they came back, the manager, loud enough for me to hear, told them, ‘Ignore her.’ I still don’t understand why I had to go through that,” she said.

Another member, Minji, added, “I was shocked after hearing about what Hanni went through. How could a manager of another team pass by and say ‘ignore her’ where everyone could hear? I experienced something unimaginable, and they neither apologized nor admitted their wrongdoing. I worry about how many more similar incidents might happen in the future.”
