Group NewJeans member Hani (20, real name Hani Pham) appeared as a witness at the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee (Environment and Labor Committee) on the 15th at 2:30 PM for a national audit related to 'idol bullying and workplace harassment' targeting the Economic, Social and Labor Council and institutions under the Ministry of Employment and Labor. Attention was focused on this unprecedented situation where an active idol group appeared at a national audit for the first time. Impressive remarks followed in the National Assembly.

▲NewJeans Hani = "I came out because I knew that if I didn't, it would quietly pass and be buried. This is something that seniors, juniors, and peers can also experience."

"From the beginning of our debut, whenever we met high-ranking officials, they never greeted us. I felt like the company disliked us. It is possible that artists, trainees, and contracts are different. But the point that does not differ is that we are all human. It seems many people miss that."

"Not all problems in the world can be solved by law. Some people apologized, saying 'Why do you have to experience this in Korea?' The ones who should feel sorry are those who avoid this place. If I have to come out to a place like this again, I will study Korean harder and come."

▲Park Hong-bae, Democratic Party lawmaker = (attaching NewJeans' rabbit character 'Bunnies' to his laptop) "This is a tragic drama where a major entertainment company betrays the public and even causes controversy over artist human rights violations."

"The HYBE Chief Human Resources Officer said they tried to mediate but 'did not respond because it is a separate label.' Does that make sense? The HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, who is responsible for the social controversy, is not here at this national audit. Now is not the time to be giggling in the U.S."

▲Kim Hyung-dong, People Power Party lawmaker = "What is the name of the Pham who just came out? Sorry."
