Hani of the group Newzins will appear today (15th) as a reference at the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee's parliamentary audit.

I just arrived at the National Assembly.

We plan to express our position directly on the "New Jin's bullying controversy" in Hive, which was revealed on YouTube last month.

For more information, connect with the reporter to find out. Reporter Lee Kyung-guk!

An idol group member's attendance at the National Assembly's parliamentary audit is very unusual, so please explain why.

[Reporter]
Yes, Hani, a member of the group Newzins, arrived at the National Assembly around 1:30 p.m. a while ago.

The reporters asked if there was anything they wanted to say to the fans, and Hani went inside after saying, "The fans will all know even if I don't tell them."

The reason Hani came to the National Assembly is to attend the Environment and Labor Commission's parliamentary audit as a reference.

The reason is because of the "New Jin's bullying controversy" in Hive, which Hani revealed.

Earlier on the 11th of last month, members of the group New Jin's called for the return of former CEO Adore Min Hee-jin, who is in conflict with Hive, to the CEO position through an emergency YouTube live broadcast.

In the process, member Hani revealed what happened inside the Hive.

Let's listen to it first.

[Hani / Group 'Newzins' (11th of last month): Other team members and one of their managers passed by. My manager said, "I ignore you." I have no proof and it's too late...]


The other team Hani mentioned was identified as the group eyelet, which the eyelet agency strongly opposes, saying it is groundless.

However, controversy grew as a series of complaints were filed with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and the National Assembly decided to examine the case at the parliamentary audit today.

Representative Audor Kim Joo-young has also been selected as a witness and will appear at the parliamentary audit today.

Questions about witness questioning and reference are expected to be held at the National Assembly from around 3 p.m.

Then, what content will be focused on today's parliamentary audit?

[Reporter]
Yes, first of all, questions are expected to continue whether the bullying controversy revealed by Hani constitutes "workplace bullying" under the Labor Standards Act.

Whether celebrities who sign exclusive contracts with their agencies are recognized as "workerhood" is also expected to be dealt with.

As the conflict between Hive and former CEO Min Hee-jin continued, some analysts said that Newzins might have decided to break up with Hive.

If a dispute over exclusive contracts arises in the future, the bullying controversy can also affect it, so attention is being paid to what remarks will be made at the National Audit Office today.

Newzins also claimed that there were many irrational and incomprehensible things on live broadcasts last month,

It is important to note whether there have been more similar incidents and whether further revelations will emerge.

So far, the Ministry of Culture and Industry has delivered it.
