Hey Seoul Crushers!
Guess what? Our favorite NewJeans member Hanni might be heading to the National Assembly next month! Yep, you heard that right. The Environment and Labor Committee has chosen Hanni to testify at their state audit. Talk about a plot twist, huh?
Now, before you start freaking out, let’s break this down a bit.
What’s the Deal?
On September 30, the committee passed a resolution requesting Hanni’s attendance, along with HYBE’s CEO Ju Young Kim. Their plan? To grill Hanni about workplace bullying. Sounds intense, right?
But here’s the thing – it’s not set in stone yet. Even if someone’s selected as a witness, they can bow out by submitting a letter with a good reason. However, if the committee doesn’t buy it, they can order you to show up. So, it’s looking like CEO Kim might end up attending, even if Hanni doesn’t.
Netizens React
Korean netizens have been showing their support for Hanni left and right. Some are saying it’s not mandatory, while others are cheering her on with “Hwaiting!” One fan even said, “I wish she didn’t have to attend. I’m worried she will have a hard time. If she just chooses to attend, I will support her!” How sweet is that?
There’s also buzz about this being a potential game-changer for idol rights. As one netizen put it, “I hope that this will become a stepping stone in improving the human rights of idols.” Now that’s something we can all get behind!
The Backstory
Remember that YouTube live broadcast on September 11? That’s when Hanni dropped the bombshell about being bullied in the workplace. It’s no wonder the National Assembly wants to hear more.
What’s Next?
So, what do you think will happen? Will Hanni testify? Will this shake up the K-pop industry? One thing’s for sure – we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any updates on this story.
Stay tuned, Seoul Crushers! This could be a turning point for our beloved K-pop world. Let’s hope it leads to positive changes and better protection for all our favorite idols. After all, they deserve nothing but the best, right?
