Hanni’s message of support dispelled various rumors surrounding her.
Following Min Hee-jin's dismissal from ADOR and Kim Joo-young’s appointment as the new CEO, tensions between Min Hee-jin and HYBE escalated. In response, NewJeans fans rallied behind Min Hee-jin during live broadcasts, issuing demands for her reinstatement.
Speculation arose after a NewJeans group photo was posted on their official account on the 25th, with Hanni noticeably absent. This led to questions about whether her absence was related to the conflict between Min Hee-jin and ADOR. However, NewJeans clarified in a video caption that Hanni was absent for health reasons, which raised concerns about her well-being. Hanni's recent show of support for Min Hee-jin has since alleviated those concerns.
Meanwhile, on the 13th, former CEO Min Hee-jin filed for a provisional injunction to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting and re-elect ADOR's internal director. HYBE has yet to comply with demands from NewJeans fans to reinstate Min Hee-jin as ADOR's CEO.
