[단독]New Jeans fans send a fax bomb to the literary committee, saying, “Please appoint Bang Si-hyuk and other Hive executives as witnesses for the national inspection.”

It has been reported that fans of the girl group ‘New Jeans’ sent a ‘fax bomb’ to members of the ruling and opposition party’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, asking them to “include Bang Si-hyuk and other Hive executives on the list of witnesses for the government audit.” After New Genes revealed on the 11th of last month that “there was internal bullying within Hive,” fans sent a letter to the Culture and Sports Committee asking them to “urge an investigation and corrective action regarding ‘Hive’s killing of New Genes.’” As this approaches, there is an atmosphere of increasing the level of pressure.

According to multiple officials of the National Assembly Culture and Sports Committee on the 2nd, faxes were reportedly coming into the offices of ruling and opposition party members of the Culture and Sports Committee every second asking, “Please include Bang Si-hyuk and other Hive executives as witnesses in the government audit.” An official from a ruling party lawmaker’s office said, “More than 400 faxes have arrived in the lawmaker’s office. We’re running out of paper, so we’re filling them up with backing paper, and we’re going through them one by one to distinguish them from other faxes.”

The fax said, “The dispute over management rights between Hive and Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Adore, has intensified into an uncontrollable situation,” and that Hive Board of Directors Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, Hive CEO Jae-sang Lee, and Chief Communications Officer Tae-hee Park were listed as witnesses for the National Inspection. It included a request to attend. On this day, the fax numbers of the offices of the culture and culture committee members were shared in an online community under the title “Fax attack from 2 to 4 p.m.”

Witnesses at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s inspection scheduled for the 7th of this month include YG Entertainment CEO Yang Min-seok, SM Entertainment CEO Jang Cheol-hyuk, and JYP Entertainment CEO Jeong Wook. At Hive, Kim Joo-young, the chief human resources officer of Hive, is scheduled to appear before the Environment and Labor Committee along with New Genes member Hani (reference person) for ‘poor response to idol bullying issue’, and Hive officials are included in the list of witnesses and references at the Culture and Sports Committee. It’s not there. Then, some New Jeans fans pointed out, “Major entertainment representatives are attending, but the most controversial Hive isn’t showing up?”

A member of the culture committee said, “Members of the National Assembly also have a lot to worry about, but it is difficult to call it out just because it becomes a hot topic.” He added, “There are concerns that Hive executives will only make excuses during the short question and answer period, but whether they will be able to get to the truth.” said.

On the 11th of last month, New Jeans revealed on YouTube that “there was bullying within the company” and requested that Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Adore, a Hive affiliate to which the group belongs, be reinstated. At the time, New Jeans member Hani said, “While waiting for the members at the hair and makeup area in the Hive building, I was told by the manager of an artist belonging to the same Hive to ‘ignore me’.” Afterwards, New Jeans fans filed a complaint with Kookmin Shinmungo.
