Girl group New Jeans directly demanded the return of former CEO Min Hee-jin.

Five members of New Jeans hosted a YouTube live broadcast on the afternoon of the 11th and said, "What we want is the original ad door that integrates management and production with CEO Min Hee-jin," adding, "Chairman Bang Si-hyuk and Hive should make a wise choice to normalize ad door by the 25th."

Girl group New Jeans directly demanded the return of former CEO Min Hee-jin.

Seated in front of the camera with dark expressions, the members of New Jeans poured out their words as if determined. It is the first time that the members of New Jeans, who had submitted a petition for Min Hee-jin and expressed their affection for Min in their acceptance speech at the ceremony, have made specific demands to Hive.

Hye-in said on the show, "I prepared for this because I wanted to tell the members' thoughts on this, which some of you might have been surprised by the sudden live performance," and added, "It was so hard to see (staff members) suffer under unfair demands and pressure even though CEO (Min Hee-jin) was dismissed shortly after. It was so frustrating to see that, and I was worried about the future of the five of us." Hye-in, who said that the live broadcast was prepared not because someone told her to do it, but because the five members really wanted to say something, said, "I thought we were not the only ones hiding behind her. It's a matter of five of us' lives to just keep waiting, leaving it to adults' work."

In addition, Hye-in added, "In conclusion, it's about Hive. We had a meeting with the management, and we talked about our opinions, but it didn't seem like what we wanted was delivered. We prepared for a live broadcast because our opinions and thoughts would not be communicated unless it was this way."

Min-ji said, "Since the debut of New Jin's, the members have had enough time to get to know each other personally with CEO Min Hee-jin. At that time, I was wary and afraid of adults, but it was awkward because it was the first time someone approached me in this way, but I felt a difference, and I felt more trust in him," and expressed trust in CEO Min, saying, "It was good to work with him, and all the members were on the same page, so he debuted well and has been active well so far." Daniel also agreed, "It's natural that we want to be with this CEO."

"Even after our debut, there have been more and more irrational and incomprehensible things," Harin said. "Not long ago, private records such as video clips and medical records from our trainee days were disclosed. We were really surprised to see them at first. I didn't understand that the company that was supposed to protect us leaked such data without managing it. I was worried that strange data or false information about us could spread in the future." He mentioned the point where he was disappointed.

"So, I raised the issue with my parents and CEO Min, but Hive did not solve it and there was no active action," Harin said. "In the meantime, the CEO was dismissed. I don't know who we should trust and rely on from now on."

In particular, Hani talked about her recent experiences. Hani was alone in the Hive building when she met her manager and greeted each other with other idol members, and she said, "I don't understand. I can't understand why I should be subjected to such a thing. It's ridiculous when I think about it now."

Min-ji said, "I was shocked to hear what Hani went through. How can a manager of a team say 'Ignore you' in such a way that everyone can hear you? I was treated with such unimaginable words and attitudes, but we never even acknowledged our mistakes, let alone apologized. How many more similar things will happen in the future. There is no one to protect me, so I am naturally worried that I may be ostracized."

Hani said, "I told the new CEO (about what happened at the time), but when I saw that there was no evidence and he was trying to move on, saying it was too late, I felt that there was no one to protect us. I felt that there was no thought for us at all. I was honest with you, but I felt like a liar in a moment," and added, "Former CEO Min Hee-jin fought for us, and the new people said they would help us on the outside, but they said it was something that could not be solved with excuses. I'm worried about what else will happen in the future, because I'm trying to pass it on to my fault even though it's been experienced by myself."

Min-ji also mentioned the conflict between director Shin Woo-seok and Audor, saying, "It's scary that the works we've been making are also being infringed." Min-ji said, "There are clearly people who have worked with us at the risk of life and death in front of us, and I don't understand how they would do this. The new executives say they will separate production and management, but we have worked in a different way from other labels in the first place and thought it was a good way to each other without complaints. CEO Min Hee-jin couldn't confirm everything, so how can we work as we used to?"

"I recently saw the new management's position, but I didn't understand it. If we really want to keep our words that we will not interfere with our production, what happened with director Shin Woo-seok should not have happened. Who are they working for when we, the party to the copyright and portrait rights, don't want to? They are also giving us an excuse in their position, but are you saying that they are doing it for us without doing it for us? We don't want to cause unnecessary problems like this, and we want you to respect and respect not only the CEO but also the directors who worked with him. What you are doing is never for us."
