On March 7th, ADOR stirred up the internet by releasing shocking CCTV footage showing ILLIT bowing to NJZ's Hanni at the HYBE Labels building. The footage also included KakaoTalk messages revealing Hanni's initial report of the troubling "ignore her" incident involving ILLIT's manager.
The controversy dates back to May 27, 2024, when Hanni claimed to have faced discrimination from ILLIT's manager during an encounter at the HYBE Labels building. The manager allegedly instructed the group members to ignore Hanni as they passed by her, prompting Hanni to speak out against what she viewed as workplace harassment. She even took her concerns to a National Assembly audit session last October.
In a twist, ADOR presented fresh evidence during the recent court hearing against NJZ on March 7th. They showcased CCTV footage showing three ILLIT members bowing deeply to Hanni in the hallway, refuting Hanni's version of events.
Moreover, ADOR revealed KakaoTalk messages between Hanni and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin from last year. The messages suggested that Hanni initially downplayed the incident, with Min Hee Jin later amplifying the situation.
Hanni's frustration was palpable as she took to Instagram Story to vent her feelings after the revelations.
In a separate development, ILLIT's innovative new light stick has garnered widespread acclaim for its distinctive design. Stay tuned for more updates!
