Response to New Jeans’ request for correction of ‘Hani bullying’
Adore, a label under Hive, requested a sincere attitude from Belif Lab, another label under Hive, regarding the testimony of its artist, Hani, a member of the girl group New Jeans, about workplace bullying. New Jeans made a statement ahead of the deadline set by sending a certified letter to Adore, saying, “If all serious violations of the exclusive contract are not corrected, the exclusive contract will be terminated.”
In a statement posted on the afternoon of the 27th on social media “We hope that you will show a sincere attitude so that unnecessary controversies regarding Adore’s artists do not continue.” Belif Lab is another label of Hive and the agency of new girl group Aillet. Hani claims that she is being ostracized within the agency, with the manager of Belif Lab’s Aylet targeting her and telling her to “ignore her.”
Adore said, “On the 7th of last month, Belif Lab announced a statement regarding the ‘remarks ignoring the manager’ through the Belif Lab We have maintained a cautious attitude so far for fear of causing unnecessary controversy about the artist. “However, despite Adore’s efforts, the related controversy has not yet been resolved,” he pointed out.
Adore did not issue a separate statement at the time of Belif Lab’s statement or Hani’s appearance at the National Assembly inspection. Afterwards, on the 13th of this month, New Jeans submitted a certificate to Adore under the real names of the five members, including Kim Min-ji, Hani Pham, Marsh Daniel, Kang Hae-rin, and Lee Hye-in, saying, “We will terminate the exclusive contract if all serious violations of the exclusive contract are not corrected.” sent and requested that “all serious violations of the exclusive contract mentioned above be corrected within 14 days from the date of receipt of this letter,” and Adore issued a statement on the 27th.
Adore said, “Belief Lab’s claims are completely different from New Genes member Hani’s statement.” At the same time, “Hani clearly remembers that on May 27, 2024, a member of Belif Lab made a statement to the effect of ‘ignore’ or ‘ignore and pass by’ about Hani. And it happened in a relatively short period of time, so the fact that Hani can only raise an issue if she remembers the entire situation at the time is too harsh and strict a standard for the victim,” he said. “I truly feel sorry for the damage that Hani suffered,” he said.
On October 7, 2024, Belif Lab announced a statement regarding the ‘manager’s dismissive remarks’ through the Belif Lab X account and ‘Notice’. Adore has maintained a cautious attitude so far, fearing that disputes over the facts may cause unnecessary controversy about its artists. However, despite Adore’s efforts, the related controversy has not yet been resolved, so we would like to clarify Adore’s position.
Belif Lab’s claim is completely different from New Genes member Hani’s statement. Hani clearly remembers that on May 27, 2024, a member of Belif Lab made a statement to the effect of ‘ignore’ or ‘ignore and pass by’ towards Hani. And since it happened in a relatively short period of time, it is too harsh and strict a standard for the victim that Hani must remember the entire situation at the time to raise an issue. Adore and its members fully trust the words of our artist and truly regret the damage suffered by Hani.
