The National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee has named Hanni, a member of the popular K-pop girl group NewJeans, as a reference witness in its ongoing investigation into workplace harassment within the Korean Pop entertainment industry.
This decision follows Hanni's recent allegations that a manager from another group in her agency instructed their members to ignore her after she offered a friendly greeting. The committee's inquiry aims to tackle pressing issues related to workplace harassment and bullying in the entertainment sector.
