The "Ignore" incident, which Newzins Hani heard from a manager, eventually led to Audor expressing his official position against Billifrap.

Regarding the bullying incident in Hive, which was triggered by Hani's revelation, Odor said on his official SNS today (27th), "Billifrap's claim is completely different from Hani's statement. Hani clearly remembers that a member of the Bilibrap made remarks about Hani to the effect of "ignoring" or "ignoring and passing by." It is too harsh and strict a standard for the victim that Hani can only take issue by remembering all the situations at the time.

"We hope that Bilibrap will not take Hani's damage lightly and show mutual respect, and show a sincere attitude to prevent unnecessary controversy over the artist belonging to Audor," he said.

Adore's official position can be interpreted as a response to the proof of content received from Newzins on the 14th. The proof of content contained a request for an official apology from the manager of Billifrap, who said "I ignore you" or "I ignore you and pass by," which Audor seems to be empowering.

However, Billifrap refuted Hani's claim, saying, "The members in charge of protocol use honorifics and honorifics to the artist, so it does not correspond to an objective fact to say 'ignore' itself."

In this regard, the Ministry of Employment and Labor recently interpreted the complaint related to Hani's workplace harassment as not being able to recognize the workplace harassment because Hani cannot be regarded as a worker. If so, whether Hani recognizes workers or not, can fundamentally "ignore" and "ignore and pass by" remarks be seen as bullying in the workplace?

The Ministry of Employment and Labor's "Workplace Bullying Prevention and Response Manual" states that "a bullying in which bosses or many employees do not talk to or exclude certain employees, and intentional neglect and exclusion in the process of performing their duties are beyond the appropriate scope of work." Whether the Billifrap manager's comments amount to this type of bullying is debatable.

However, "Ignore you". As to whether Hani's testimony alone, "I was told to ignore and pass by," can be seen as a situation of bullying or bullying, the court said, "We should judge objectively from the victim's point of view rather than the actor's intention." The context of the remarks, the relationship between the parties, and the situation after the remarks should be considered comprehensively, but if Hani felt displeased or insulted after hearing the remarks, it is likely to be recognized as bullying.

However, it is dangerous to look at the incident because Hani is buried in this single remark that "I was told to ignore it." It would not be right to corner a specific person with only one-sided claims by an individual without objective evidence. It is not yet clear which of Hani and Billifrap's claims is true. It should be borne in mind that hasty criticism can rather create another victim and obscure the nature of this incident.
