Hyein , Hanni Pham, Minji, Danielle Marsh and Haerin of South Korean girl group NewJeans arrive at the 2024 Billboard Women In Music in Los Angeles earlier this year.Vietnamese-Australian K-pop star, Hanni, has given a tearful testimony to South Korean politicians about bullying and harassment in the industry.

"I saw a manager along with three members from another group and said hello … When the manager saw me, she told the members to 'ignore her as if you didn't see her,'" she told the inquiry.The alleged event took place amid a dispute between NewJeans' producer and mastermind, Min Hee-jin, and HYBE, the South Korean agency that manages BTS, after HYBE filed a legal complaint against Ms Min for breach of trust in business.
