Seriously I can't get over how the ultimatum to reinstate MHJ came back to bite NJZ so hard. This employee B decision only makes it worse

#

no matter what the girls had the judge wasnt gonna go in their favor

blazing sky
#

is this why they were so nervous before they performed pit stop? when i saw the clips al 5 of them seemed extremely nervous, even while performing

waxen musk
blazing sky
#

i did, but it seemed their nervousness peaked right before the song

stiff prairie
#

i think more than nervousness it's the sadness to convey the hiatus news to the fans

blazing sky
#

maybe, thats also true

hoary frost
#

mhm...

blazing sky
#

i mean words can mean so many things but body language says it all, i mean i noticed during danis speech after performing she was extremely nervous, she was over talking and panting and she couldnt stop moving her arms *compared to the other members after their performances i mean

#

and i think it peaked for everyone else before pit stop

#

but im just speculating–could just be nervousness to show everyone a new song after so long

hot girder
#

I think knowing this is their last time on stage for an undefined amount of time plays a huge factor as well

#

You know this is it for who knows how much time. It's hard

#

This is weird to me cuz nothing to A or hybe but mhj is fined. I m confused what they are trying to say.
Also it's The Ministry of Employment and Labor who shown to defend hybe for some reason even after death incident under hybe

sage venture
#

how convenient lol

storm warren
#

Its easy to understand. they partially found MHJ guilty for shit talking in KKT chats and fined her for that

short laurel
#

That's all ?

storm warren
#

while found not guilty for SH and everything else B complained about

red thorn
#

Where's the part she admits

short laurel
#

Title is so dirty

storm warren
#

she did not admit anything. Ministry of Labor issued fine

#

title is mediaplay like no other and employee B is spamming ig stories

hollow sorrel
storm warren
#

its hilrious to get fined for KKT chats which was leaked to public by hybe and is blatant violation of privacy

hoary frost
#

something happened today?

short laurel
#

Can't mhj file for defamation against B?

stiff prairie
#

she hasn't already? ik exec A did not sure about mhj

storm warren
#

I mean B filed against her. she gotta defend herself m. she wont file against her as its bad press

#

VP filed against B and won, was mentioned in Billboard article

short laurel
#

It says rest of her complaints unfounded but this article is so dirty

stiff prairie
storm warren
#

ofc, the point is to smear her. its chosun

short laurel

#

Ministry of labour seriously over kkt but nothing on death at hybe building

#

Aside from kkt shit talk, B actually lost right.

stiff prairie
#

bro this country

subtle matrix
#

Employee B lost the claim against VP for sexual harassment
Won claims against MHJ for failure to conduct an impartial investigation and workplace harassment (partially)

sage venture
#

MHJ didn't investigate or anything she simply advised him to raise the question

short laurel
#

Over shit talking in kkt 💀

storm warren
#

it is HR's role to investigate not her

sage venture
#

ironically, the current ADOR CEO is the one who conducted the investigation lol

#

and did she get fined? lol

short laurel
#

I hope mhj raise the issue n continue the fight. Ministry of labour really needs to be audit with how they defending hybe's narrative

storm warren
short laurel
#

Current ador ceo got fined too?

storm warren
#

no mhj

short laurel
#

I think Milo was asking about the current ceo

sage venture
#

She was the head of HR at that time

storm warren
#

why would she get fined when it was concluded that investigation was right

#

i mean if labor concluded investigation was faulty, the blame would fall on CHRO which is not what hybe wants

short laurel
#

So it's safe to say employee B lost aside from kkt shit talk part.

#

Kkt shit talk = bully
Dead in the building = not bully, infact top company.
What a system

sage venture
storm warren
#

she claimed mhj covered it up, but even if mhj advised vp to raise objection, that would simply delay a bit and would not change investigation at all

I m curious what bs B is saying on ig but i not remember her ig

this benefits her in court but we will see lol

Then there's hope. Would be nice if mhj wins, ministry of labour would look like clown

sage venture
#

it's a simple question If you think you were sexually harassed, who would you be most angry at? A) the person who harassed you, B) the one who investigated the incident but didn't acknowledge it, or C) the person who advised A to raise the question?

#

That's the thing no one understands about employee B.

lol her blog post praising ador is funniest

i not remeber how she started this

storm warren
#

This is a blog post by Employee B, published after she left ADOR. However, she got numerous inconsistencies and contradictions through the course of this ordeal. Her tone and thoughts in this blog post are very contradicting with various versions of her communications during her

can someone explain WHY njz lost? Because before the injunction result it seemed pretty favorable towards njz, at least the stuff that I was seeing on social media made it appear that way.

They objected to it though, so they'll have another opportunity to back those claims with evidence

#

i dont understand, did ador present enough evidence?

blazing sky
#

i think they presented like 11 examples i dont know exactly*

cinder verge
#

wasnt all their evidence shitty

subtle matrix
#

Well given the ruling the judge decided there was enough evidence on ADOR's side and not enough on NJZ's

stiff prairie
#

ador only had to say they did their duties like paying them supporting them etc. main burden lied on njz to prove it

blazing sky
#

which theoretically, you can track that. you can track pay stubs, track staff being paid to be at advertising shoots, etc etc

#

its hard to track mistreatment especially if its mental. if its physical youd have clear signs like bruising, etc. so evidence has to be things like camera recordings, eyewitnesses, etc

#

dani's claims she made a bit ago during a live could be tracked- like text messages of their food to their manager, asking to go to the bathroom from a text, etc etc

#

but could also be wiped just as easily tokkisob

short laurel
#

that part was from her trainee days so be4 girls signing the contract so out of scope.

blazing sky
#

but its still clear evidence of all idols being mistreated (which everyone knows ab already)
just more fuel to the fire of idols in general

short laurel
#

yea but case isn't about that unfortunately. girls need to prove breach of trust with current ador

craggy skiff
short laurel
#

also like always they can deflect it as being at somu and not ador, so need to prove that hybe n sublabels are one which is another annoying thing

blazing sky
#

court prob doesnt care ab what hybe has to say since its njz trying to leave ador, so they look at how ador treated the artists

short laurel
#

hybe would be in loads of shit if they somehow prove that hybe and sublabels are acting as 1 entity.

subtle matrix
sage venture
#

i just think it's so weird that the focus shifted from 'the state of trust being broken' to 'is it enough to break the trust' I thought the girls case was legit because it would have been enough if just one had been acknowledged, but the judges denied everything as if the result had already been decided For example, regarding the leaked explicit trainee video, the judge said it wasn’t enough because ADOR requested to delete the file (even though Dispatch only blurred the faces) etc But the girls wanted to find the leak and file a lawsuit for protection I don’t understand how the judge decided that it wasn’t enough You can still find those videos anywhere, even now

short laurel
#

infact it was mhj who took action and ador called it "mhj's personal action" but took credit for it for themselves. it was in this case right. njz side shared email proof iirc

#

There was a k-tokki here on the injunction ruling date who said that the judge will likely be different even though it's the same court

#

But in the worst case, it could also be the same judge

storm warren
#

acc to my friend: "the injunction decision should likely not bind the judge hearing the substantive dispute, although in practice once one judge has decided a certain way it usually becomes a bit harder to persuade another judge to take a different view (the degree to which this is true depends on the specific court’s interpersonal dynamics)"

so we cant particularly rely on judges but it is better for Sejong to start from the scratch, create new framework to work around and preferably present new evidence which is hard when your opponent is almighty hybe

upbeat stream
shrewd badger
sage venture
#

the other issue with this injunction is that it gives too much power to the creditor with just one hearing and a two week period It especially restricts the fundamental right to choose one's occupation which is protected by the constitution AFAIK the objections only argue technicalities with the same judges, so they could fight over that, but what do I know?

subtle matrix
#

I think NJZ laywers will argue that the ruling is too damaging for them for those reasons but the judge will say "you can still work and make money you just have to do it under ador until the lawsuit is resolved"

stiff prairie
#

seeing how much empathatic towards ador and none towards the girls i kinda agree w this being this judge's stance even later on. idk how sejong is going to gather evidences or what but the judge needs to understand the bridge between artists and ador is broken and there's no reconciliation no matter what. problem is everyone besides the judge already knows that but for some reason he still thinks there's possibility of them working together

Likely the evidence they had wasn't enough to prove it as a definite

There were 3 claims by employee B:

  • Failure to do an impartial investigation by MHJ
  • Workplace harassment by MHJ
  • Sexual harassment by VP

First one was granted, second one was partially granted, 3rd one was not granted. Not granted does not mean "it did not happen", it just means the labour office could not determine it happened

I think the lawyer need to concentrate on how the current ador is sabotaging the girls and separate ador before and after mhj. They should list out what the current fraudor did to damage the girls. If team bunnies and fans can arrange the evidence for NJZ then that would be great. We need strong arguments to counter the arguments of Fraudor and Hybe. They say if they let NJZ win then it will affect the music industry then we should argue: If these bully and fraud tactics of companies are used with bad toxic environment and copy, paste culture the Korean music will be destroyed. Further, the workers and artists mental health should be cared for or else more suicides and painful consequences will happen for the employees. Also, argument such as moral standards should be considered. With bully and fabricated evidences to twist facts are used to win, this teaches Korean youth and companies that being evil is the key for success. This wi affect Korea society moral standards and affect the judge family as well as future generations, more thugs will be produced. They should also provide evidence that the opinion of Korean organizations should not be trusted because all of them belong to Hybe. That means one side of opinion with subjective views. That is not what the entire industry thinks, that is Hybe thinks. They should point out that if NJZ is treated unfairly more and more Korean youth will fall victims to these evil companies including future Korean generations or the judge’s offspring

#

I know some of you may argue it is the work of lawyer of NJZ but you can see that the arguments are not enough. We have a lot of smart bunnies with good analytical and argumentative skills. If some of our talented people can step up and assist the girls and their lawyers, give them some ideas and thoughts that you observe and know then ding ding it may inspire and give them some important ideas to win the case. It is the same for team Bunnies who stepped up and assisted the girls.

Sometimes the evidences are enough but how to categorize the evidences, emphasize things, counter the arguments of the judge can change everything

#

It is confusing since they took credits and said that they helped the girls, the lawyer should do a better work separating the credits who did what and debunk all of the work they claimed they did for the girls

Debunk all of the lies that they did instead of just presenting evidences. They should analyze things and pointed out the lies

# radiant scaffold Not to downplay the experience but yk

well I will say it then....the experience was not sexual harassment at least not what the person described. They claimed an exec said it would be better to have a woman and man, rather than a man and man, to go to some dinner with advertisers who represented a cosmetic brand. I.e. women use cosmetics and it is best to get the perspective of a woman. Korea has a bunch of weirdness around feminism and gender stuff lately and I feel like people blew this out of proportion, just because it involved MHJ. So many comments I read from Koreans in Korea said the incident was offensive because you shouldn't assume a woman would have any more or less experience about make up. Anyway, I think it is a cultural issue I don't get.

#

in this situation i just think its very ironic

#

irony is a beautiful thing

opaque torrent
#

lets recap. the employee accused the vp of sexually harassing her over a remark he said to persuade her to go to a WORK dinner with one of their clients/advertisers.

she filed a report, never mentioning that it was work dinner. portrayed it as a casual gathering with drinks and said the VP and the client abandoned her after getting her drunk; made it seem like the VP was setting her up on a blind date with the client. in reality, after she had dinner, she went to tour the space of his business.

in her report, to frame the vp as a sexual harasser and was doing something unrelated to work, she said mhj was against the dinner, but what mhj said had nothing to do with this dinner. https://x.com/thegreatgaram/status/1839899330964332863

As there was no evidence, MHJ shared why she doubted the report, based on other factors:
- B quoted MHJ, making it seem like MHJ disapproved of the dinner
- she portrayed a pre-scheduled work dinner with a client whose account she'd been managing as a informal drinking party

MHJ was yea and she did scold VP but she just told him to question it as both sides should be heard on such accusations. it was hybe HR(now ador ceo) who concluded it was nothing. yet since very start B didn't say anything to VP or HR but keep attacking MHJ. not saying MHJ is saint but in this case hard to trust B. besides all the B claims came to nothing according to minitry of labours investigation. just those kkt messages leaked by hybe.

it's not about trusting mhj for me. just there's been no solid proof of MHJ doing anything in bad faith throughout this battle that is known to public.

i mean we talk about her so much but where has she been lately? is she still even in contact with them? i havent heard ab anyone seeing her at complexcon

i have very mixed feelings about mhj, obviously she isnt PERFECT and definitely isnt above criticism and rightfully receives criticism for some things she has done however i hate when people pin that on the girls and bring up things she has been involved in that has nothing to do with the girls. but what i also feel is that if the girls trust her and have a good relationship with her then im happy and i dont have any negative feelings towards her in the context of her working with the girls, because at the end of the day we dont know what goes on behind the scenes and how much support she is giving the girls but the girls obviously have so much trust in mhj so i trust her too

i do think MHJ is emotional and dramatic person going by what she's shown to public.
and yea women are called manipulating when her groups support her but everyone praise male producers when their idols almsot always have problems with them (LSM, JYP as other examples)

i totally agree with this, she isnt above criticism at all and gets rightfully criticized. the only
problem i have is when people use the things she has done as a weapon against the girls to make them look bad. like one thing that really annoys me is the whole ‘pedojeans’ thing, kpop fandoms just make one word and throw it around without even knowing what they are talking about. like??

i mean, i saw someone on reddit talking about how bangchan said something about being disrespected at an awards show, and never said a name, and many people came for IVE and accused them of bullying. then people in the comments were defending him and the ppl who called out IVE. wheres the energy for njz? the same thing happened, hanni never said a name, then people came for illit. its because our fandom dies on many hills that are wrong and shouldnt be defending esp if it doesnt have anything to do with the girls whatsoever so people discredit whatever tokkis say now sadly. we need to not be afraid

# night niche omg im writing a doc on this too

heres a summary, but i think im gonna fix some things

Calling NJZ “pedojeans" is problematic because it unfairly targets the group itself rather than the industry or individuals responsible for any concerns regarding their management, styling, or marketing.

If the issue is with how HYBE/ADOR has handled their image, the criticism should be directed at the company rather than the group members, who are minors or young adults without full control over their branding. Using such a term can also spread harmful narratives about the members themselves rather than focusing on structural issues in the K-pop industry.

If your concern is about the way younger idols are marketed, there are more effective ways to engage in the conversation—by discussing industry trends, ethical considerations, and the role of companies in shaping public perception.

(Innocent untill proven otherwise) Also lets be real if there really was something, do we not think the members would've done something??? Do you really think NJZ would Dispute against ADOR and not MHJ? after she got removed from the company???

All I've seen with "Proof" (I havent checked up on this) but it was the fact that in MHJ's room or house, there should allegidly be a picture of "Drawn Child Pornography" or the artist whom made the painting she had, was known to make child pronography paintings. (A picture of MHJ with the supposed "Painting" in the background did also go around when people talked about it, but again I have not looked into whether or not this story is actually true or just to throw shade)

My opinion: MHJ is of course not perfect and had some questionable moments but the type of outrage against her is sometimes blown out of proportion because of a pre-biased mindset towards her. It’s like people want to paint her as the worst villain ever because of their confirmation bias. The outrage towards her also sometimes feels misguided because people are using her to hate on NJZ. This then leads to Tokkis wanting to defend MHJ because of course they use her as ammo towards hating NJZ. Again, she definitely has flaws and can be questionable but the way people judge her based on certain things and refuse to look at other evidence that can dispute those allegations is also weird.

Relying on “facts” from the internet is like reading a fan story. No one online can truly have 100% accurate information about a person they don’t actually know. It’s all based on subjective opinions and articles, so empty facts.

Any such “fact” can be spun in a negative or positive way depending on the author’s bias.

That’s why you shouldn’t form your opinion based on Twitter posts or a Reddit thread. At the very least, you could watch her interviews to recognize her talent in management. At best, look at interviews about her from other people and artists to better understand how she’s viewed.

No one ever claimed MHJ is a saint—but she is a professional in what she does

cmon, just look today's situtation. Court ruling can be interpreted in different ways.
In fact, there was no clear winner:

  • Employee B was unable to prove the sexual harassment she had been publicly claiming in the media for months.
  • MHJ, on the other hand, couldn’t prove that she never insulted the employee, as she did use negative language about her in private KKT messages.

There are no absolute villains or heroes here. Both sides came out of it with losses.
And yet, we see headlines like: "MHJ lost," "MHJ accused of harassment."

As we already know, many fandoms claim that what’s happening to NewJeans isn’t “enough” to define it as mistreatment by the company.
In my view, mistreatment should include any actions or words that cross a personal boundary toward someone.
If MHJ did insult an employee in private messages and crossed that line, then yes—she also serves as a negative example.

But I do want to point out that she didn’t do it publicly in the workplace, unlike what was done to Hanni

i wont deny they are definitely weird from a certain perspective and i can see why people feel uncomfortable listening to this especially from first reaction, but i think its definitely about a cd, we even see the cookie turn into a cd at the end of the music video and if you read the lyrics again after understanding the meaning the girls are talking about baking the music or something like that. problem is the public who sexualised the song, especially because of the way the word cookie is interpreted in western countries. people just immediately jumped to the conclusion it was sexual, which i wont even lie i also did at first and everyone ive saw react to it felt the same. i honestly dont know where my view stands on cookie 😭

"Labor Office Results Notification
Today (March 24), I received the official notification from the Labor Office via registered mail. To keep things concise, I have numbered the key points below.
I sincerely thank everyone who has supported me. Many people have been curious about the results, and I have received numerous interview requests, so I am sharing this update. I appreciate your continued support.

  1. (Complaint 1) Min Hee Jin was found guilty of violating her duty to conduct an objective investigation and has been fined.
  2. (Complaint 2) Min Hee Jin’s workplace harassment (including verbal abuse) was confirmed, and she was fined accordingly. The recognized proportion of workplace harassment was 12%, and the fine imposed is a significant level of sanction, going beyond a simple warning.
  3. I gave her four opportunities to apologize and end this, but she refused and instead filed a lawsuit against me. An apology is no longer needed.
  4. I will continue to actively respond to both civil and criminal cases, particularly the lawsuit Min Hee Jin filed against me.
  5. Regarding the external reinvestigation of workplace harassment and sexual harassment by the former vice CEO: workplace harassment was recognized, but sexual harassment was deemed inconclusive. The Labor Office also had no objections to this finding. No additional fines were imposed.
  6. To all real workers, the vulnerable, and victims, fighting (stay strong)!"

You can dislike MHJ while acknowledging her work with NJZ has been splendid. But calling yourself a fan while being "conflicted" about the situation is crazy.

The judge is the one who needs pages of proof and arguments to make a decision. (Alleged) fans like you and I don't need that because, for whatever reason that may be, we trust the idols. You're doubting your idols getting mistreated and shit on by their company? Especially when you say you're siding with the law, who hasn't stated that the girls arguments are false, they are simply not enough at the moment. So if after all that you're deciding that you are doubtful about the girls and their situation, you are trash and definitely not a fan anymore

Also mhj never stole trainees from source lol, she got the girls AFTER they got replaced for another group. Looks like someone ate up their misinfo lunch

# shrewd badger What did they say ?

There's a few different groups.

There's the group that doesn't believe NJZ's side because they think the only real issue here is MHJ vs HYBE, and MHJ has orchestrated everything while NJZ is being dragged along

There's the group that doesn't believe NJZ's side but also believe NJZ are an equal party with MHJ, and the girls and their families are also looking for a bigger cut than they're getting with ADOR

There's the group that thinks everyone sucks here, and a few others

Mostly the motivation for the people who are siding with HYBE/ADOR seems to be the fact that their favourite groups got dragged into this by MHJ/NJZ and suffered consequences including awful online hate for something they either didn't do or weren't responsible for. As for the evidence against HYBE/ADOR there's varying levels to it, some people think it's mostly bs, some think most of it is true but not enough to actually blame HYBE/ADOR for anything, and there's people who don't care if it's true they just want to see MHJ and/or NJZ burn

i dont know

but hopefully not mhj

Not even the new ceo of ador could’ve saved them

# dapper root so what your saying is you blindly trust the girls

Not blindly, no. We support them because we believe in them and their reasons for fighting this. As fans, it’s natural to trust them more than the company they’re up against. That doesn’t mean we ignore everything; it just means our support is with them

# dapper root so what your saying is you blindly trust the girls

I not only trust the girls, but their claims are backed by the proof we have collected during this time. If the court thinks that's not enough to break their contract, that's a different thing.
Even before all this happened, we knew they had a different treatment from other HYBE groups. So don't act stupid. I support idols who want to leave their company whatever reason that may be.

A lot of ILLIT and LSF fans are unhappy with NJZ

cerulean lake
# subtle matrix There are other groups who got dragged into this, mainly ILLIT ofc but also LSF

I agree with ILLIT being originally dragged in but the only reason why LSFM was mentioned was because MHJ needed to clear up the whole process when she was at HYBE. If HYBE didn’t mediaplay that MHJ was doing all of this against the other HYBE groups, she wouldn’t have to bring them in her conference to clear herself of those allegations. But this whole situation also did start from her internal complaint regarding ILLIT’s concept so I don’t know how that would have been avoided. And let’s be for real, even if she didn’t directly mention their names during her conference, people would’ve figured out who’s she talking about.

Plus LSFM’s main hate train did not come from her conference but because those events were close, they think she’s the cause of it.

The language I would use for ILLIT is that HYBE created another similar group to cannibalize NewJean's success. That was the intent. Plagiarism is much harder to prove and isn't 1:1.

# frozen bronze anything about song or choreo plagiarism is just fans pointing out similarities,...

Yes people don’t get this nuance. It might not be direct plagiarism but when you’re in a highly competitive industry, debuting a group with a somewhat similar concept is detrimental especially when they’re from the SAME company and NJZ was only like 1 YEAR old at that time.

People think NJZ is just y2k-themed? Are we forgetting ASAP and the possible dream core concepts that might have been in the future? I don’t know why it was so hard for people to grasp this concept and to understand why MHJ might not have been happy especially when their concept was basically like the concept she came up for her audition video. She brought this up in my internal complaint and HYBE decided to crash tf out on her.

Our fandom is slowly turning into the army fandom dying on hills they shouldn't be 😭 unpopular opinion but we are truly arguing about mhj, someone who does not care about you at all and cares about the girls, whether her motives caring about the girls is ulterior or not we will never know because we are not mhj and we cannot read her mind nor argue about things that will not change courts decision sadly

i dont care for her too much, but the girls are obviously comfortable with her

when judging plagiarism, the main issue is debut era. particularly, their branding being too similar to NJZ to the point of it causing confusion and talk everywhere which was also negatively affecting NJZ as everyone said hybe is rehashing same concept/sound for their groups, which naturally undermines ADOR's branding and creative efforts

Also. Belift literally admitted they had her planning documents but excused it saying they didn’t use it. Why do they need that in the first place? Why would they even ask for her shit?

Do your job as a label and come up with your own stuff. People just focus on Belift’s perspective but not the of Ador’s perspective.

Personally I think most people understand the claims by MHJ/NJZ against HYBE/ADOR, but a lot of people feel like all of these issues aren't actually big deals that justify breaking the contract, and MHJ/NJZ saw an opportunity to get something they wanted - independence, whether it be creative or financial - and decided to take these things and weaponize them into a whole narrative around HYBE sabotaging them

Ok but like they weren’t looking for this so called independence until HYBE reacted that way. Are we just gonna forget about the whole audit and how they framed her as taking over Ador even though it was literally impossible with the amount of shares she has? They even never brought up the point about the foreign investors again after the 1st injunction. That was when the girls had enough and wanted to leave.

Yes but it became illogical once they used that situation as some type of way to completely tarnish her own reputation and claim that her shaman was possessing her and how she talked crap about a whole bunch of groups, which of course led to a whole bunch of fandoms pouncing on her and NJZ. They even tried to mention the shaman and her dead sister or something in court, which is so out of pocket.

If they wanted to investigate it properly, they should have done it in a way where all this bs mediaplay wouldn’t come through and based on the text messages, we already knew MHJ was beefing with BSH and Park Jiwon (the former CEO).
