In a recent livestream, Hanni from NewJeans addressed a misunderstanding that had been circulating among the Bunnies (NewJeans’ fandom). Hanni’s humorous interaction with fans about her Korean lessons became the focal point of criticism towards ADOR, her record label. We untangle the truth behind this episode to shed light on the situation.
Hanni Wants to Learn Korean, But…
On November 21, Hanni shared with her followers her desire to take Korean lessons during a livestream. However, she surprised many by revealing that her record label had denied her this opportunity. According to Hanni, her last encounter with the language was two years ago, and despite expressing her interest in improvement, she was told it wasn’t necessary.
The Misunderstanding Cleared
Amidst the criticism towards ADOR for seemingly hindering Hanni’s artistic growth, the singer personally addressed the Phoning fan platform to clear up the misunderstanding in both Korean and English. She explained that her comment about Korean classes was merely a joke between her and her manager, and she never personally asked her record label or CEO Min Hee Jin to allow her to take lessons.
ADOR’s Clarification
In response to the growing speculation, ADOR released a statement to address the issue. In it, the company denies interfering in the educational decisions of NewJeans members, stating that they have continuously provided support, even organizing separate language classes for Hanni. Furthermore, they debunk rumors about personal decisions of other group members.
In a world where misunderstandings can proliferate, obtaining accurate information is crucial. Hanni and ADOR are committed to the personal and artistic growth of NewJeans members. As fans, it is essential to support our idols with understanding and avoid unfounded speculation.
