This invitation comes after NewJeans took to YouTube live to demand the reinstatement of their former CEO, Min Hee Jin, revealing the struggles they’ve faced since her departure. During the live, Hanni shared a story about being snubbed by another group’s manager, who instructed one of the artists to “ignore” Hanni as she was waiting in a hallway at HYBE’s office.
As the disappointment lingers, fans continue to voice their concerns, hoping for greater accountability and a stop to the NewJeans drama.
