    As the strong and resilient image of "iron taste" dominates, stories of youth offering warm comfort are rising once again.


    The groups ILLIT, SEVENTEEN, and the band QWER are receiving positive feedback for embracing the public's emotions and evoking nostalgia through their narratives of "youth drama."


    ILLIT released a nearly 9-minute "I'LL LIKE YOU" Brand Film on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel on the 24th. In the video, the members introduce themselves one by one, sharing their own healing stories infused with fantastical elements. For example, they describe wanting to become an eagle to feel free or wishing to go to Mars, depicted through unrealistic animations that evoke a fairytale-like sentiment.


    Through this video, ILLIT is telling a story that resembles their own kind of worldview. However, in the current K-pop scene, which mainly focuses on themes related to superpowers or cyberpunk, they uniquely draw on themes of "youth" and "fairytales," capturing the public's attention.


    The public has responded positively to ILLIT's brand film, commenting that it embodies "ILLIT's unique innocence, dreaminess, fairytale, and magical girl vibe," and noting, "They're such beautiful youth," and "It feels like a youth film or fairytale, so beautiful."


    On the same day, SEVENTEEN also garnered significant responses from the public and fandom with the official photos released ahead of their upcoming mini album, the 12th. One notable photo features all 13 members sitting in a line against the backdrop of fireworks at the beach.


    Before their debut on May 26, 2015, SEVENTEEN aired a seven-part series titled "SEVENTEEN Project - Debut Big Plan" starting on May 2 of that month, revealing their preparation process for debut. During this process, they sat together on the sandy beach of Sokcho, saying, "Later, if someone changes, let’s come back here to Sokcho and throw it," and "Let’s make SEVENTEEN a hit; we can do it."


    QWER made their comeback on the 23rd with their mini album "Algorithm's Blossom" and the title track "My Name is Malguem." This song, for which Jeon Soyeon, a member and producer of (G)I-DLE, is said to have participated in composing, writing, and arranging, tells the story of the speaker named "Malguem" in a diary format.


    Similar to SEVENTEEN's work, QWER's "My Name is Malguem" addresses the theme of healing, resonating with the modern sentiment that people must always appear okay even in difficult situations. Additionally, the music video is directed with a refreshing and clear aesthetic, enhancing its wistful quality. According to fans' interpretations, the music video presents a fairytale-like narrative where the members each represent a different personality.


    ILLIT, SEVENTEEN, and QWER are all targeting the public's hearts by evoking people's pain and nostalgia through their unique narratives and music. Industry insiders believe that the resurgence of bands and the group NewJeans has played a significant role in this trend. While groups like BLACKPINK, (G)I-DLE, and aespa have dominated the mainstream with strong narratives of "me" and "us," (t/n: we're the best/I'm the best) the rise of band music has brought attention to the healing narratives of youth. Furthermore, NewJeans has demonstrated that there is public demand for nostalgia, leading to various stories that cater to this demand. Their narratives, which convey comforting messages that it's okay not to pretend to be fine and that it's okay to miss the past, offer solace to today's audience. It will be interesting to see how these stories continue to unfold in the future

    1. [+92, -25] Bad music, lack of charm, Yuna is only attractive when you see her a few times. Conclusion: The more you look at them, the more bored you get so you are not interested in learning more about them


    2. [+76, -11] The songs aren’t even good at all….


    3. [+61, -44] It’s because they don’t have charm, not because the company can’t make them famousㅋ


    4. [+31, -5] ITZY antis and JYP antis are all the same ㅋㅋㅋ Always pretending to feel sorry for ITZY and then taking the opportunity to bring down the members

    Group NewJeans Daniel (real name Mo Ji-hye) is lending his strength to her older sister Olivia Marsh (real name Mo Gyuna)'s debut song.


    According to an interview with Maeil Kyungjae Star Today on the 24th, Daniel will be featured in her older sister Olivia's debut album. This will be Daniel's first time featuring.


    Daniel is recognized for her attractive vocal skills that can handle both low and high tones. Her stable live performance is also her greatest weapon. It is known that Olivia's debut song featuring Daniel's vocals will be an English song.


    With Daniel's voice added to Olivia's debut song, it is expected to garner much attention both domestically and internationally.


    On the 13th, Warner Music Korea of Warner Music Group announced the launch of a new global label, MPLIFY, and announced that Olivia Marsh will join as the first artist.


    Amplify introduced Olivia as “an Australian singer-songwriter with outstanding talent and originality,” and said, “She has been collaborating with K-pop producers and composers to build her skills, and she is scheduled to debut in October.”


    Olivia said, “I want to show my music to everyone as soon as possible.”


    Olivia Marsh is the older sister of New Jeans member Daniel, and she worked as a child model with Daniel’s fairy-like beauty. Before her debut, singer-songwriter Olivia had been writing lyrics and composing under the stage name ‘Livy,’ her childhood nickname. In April, singer ‘GYUNA,’ who sang the OST ‘LAVA’ of the Coupang Play original series ‘Hide,’ was revealed to be Daniel’s older sister, and rumors of her debut as a singer were raised.


    Meanwhile, Daniel has been receiving much love both domestically and internationally with numerous hit songs such as "Attention," "Hypebeast Boy," "Ditto," "Supershy," and "OMG" since his debut as a member of the group New Jeans in July 2022. However, since last spring, he has been suffering mentally due to the conflict between former CEO Min Hee-jin of his agency Adore and parent company Hybe. On the 11th, the members of New Jeans gave an ultimatum to Hybe through a YouTube live broadcast, saying, "Please return us to Adore, where management and production are integrated with Min Hee-jin as the representative," and set a deadline of the 25th.


    Hello, this is Tim Bernies.


    On the 13th, we submitted a 72-page ‘Report on the Accusation of Misconduct by Hive Co., Ltd.’ to the National Petition, and today (the 23rd), we visited the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in person to officially submit the report and additional materials.


    The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also said that they were aware of the seriousness of this matter and responded kindly.


    Currently, we are preparing to connect with the standing committee members separately from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism matter.


    Thank You.

    She is still a executive director in ADOR and the shareholder agreement has noting to do with this.

    And KBS is on MHJ side as they have not reported on Employee B lawsuit.

    'Min Hee-jin, I knew about New Jeans's live broadcast in advance' KBS article suspiciously deleted


    KBS suddenly deleted the article the day after announcing its position that former Adore CEO Min Hee-jin had stopped New Jeans' live broadcast. It is unusual for a public broadcaster, which tends to take a relatively conservative stance when it comes to reporting, to delete an article the next day. In particular, it is raising questions as it did not reveal any specific reason for deleting the video and article or whether there was a false report.


    The article in question was uploaded around 5 p.m. on the 13th. The title of the article was 'Min Hee-jin's side, "We stopped New Jeans' statement"... Hive, "We regret Min"', and as can be seen from the title, the article included Min Hee-jin's side's position that former CEO Min Hee-jin had stopped New Jeans members' live broadcast.


    The article came out at a time when speculations were spreading that the live broadcast of New Jeans was planned by former CEO Min. Some netizens suspected that someone was behind them, pointing out that "the members threw out a '14-day deadline' considering the two-week compensation period for the exclusive contract termination lawsuit, and the request to 'return to the existing Adore where management and production are integrated' are not demands that can be made by artists without legal advice." Furthermore, since the New Jeans members repeatedly emphasized during the live broadcast that "this live was not directed by former CEO Min," the conflicting positions of both sides further fueled their suspicions.


    In the midst of this, the report was deleted from major portal sites and the KBS site the next day. It is very unusual for KBS, which has a relatively conservative reporting style compared to general media or broadcasting stations, to delete an article that was broadcast without any reason. Currently, KBS is not revealing whether or not there was a false report.


    Various observations have been made on various communities regarding this. Among them, there was an analysis that 'Min Hee-jin did not report the fact that the members were broadcasting live, so she requested KBS to delete it in order to avoid being held responsible, as she neglected her duty to report as an executive director.' It can be seen as a serious violation of the duty to report as an executive director, as she was aware of the live broadcast related to the dispute that could have a significant impact on the artist's IP value in advance but did not report it to the company (Adore).


    In fact, according to Article 412, Paragraph 2 of the Commercial Act, a director must immediately report to the auditor upon discovering a fact that may cause significant damage to the company. In addition, Article 399 (Responsibility for the Company) of the Commercial Act stipulates that if a director intentionally or negligently violates laws or the Articles of Incorporation or neglects his/her duties, the director is jointly liable for damages to the company.


    Furthermore, Min Hee-jin filed an injunction demanding reinstatement of her position as CEO, claiming that the shareholder agreement with Hive is still valid. If it is revealed that former CEO Min knew about New Jeans' live broadcast and turned a blind eye to it, this would be a violation of the creditor commitment situation specified in the shareholder agreement. The shareholder agreement stipulates that "the creditor (Min Hee-jin) must fulfill her duty of loyalty to Adore as the CEO and inside director of Adore, and must not intentionally or negligently commit any act that may cause damage to Adore or other affiliates of the debtor (Hive) corporate group. In addition, the creditor must promptly notify the debtor in writing of any significant negative impact on Adore or any major management issues."


    The community is speculating that "Min Hee-jin actually planned the New Jeans live broadcast and claimed that she 'stopped it' to emphasize her spontaneity, but then moved to delete it when it was confirmed that it was legally disadvantageous."


    Meanwhile, circumstances are being revealed that make it difficult to view the live broadcast as a voluntary broadcast by the members. Live broadcasts must secure a certain number of subscribers (50 for mobile, 1,000 for PC) in advance, and in order to remove the viewer limit, even more stringent conditions must be met, so it is difficult to view this as something the members prepared on their own. There are even suspicions that the account was blown up immediately after the broadcast ended in an attempt to hide the account provider.

    The Ministry of Employment is investigating the 'Newjeans bullying incident'...It's the question of whether or not you're a worker.

    • Intensive investigation into whether workplace bullying is an issue under the Labor Standards Act.
    • Normally, it is processed within 25 days, but can be extended twice.

    The Ministry of Employment and Labor has begun an investigation into the truth behind the bullying incident involving popular female idols, 'Newjeans.' They plan to closely examine whether the incident constitutes 'workplace bullying' under the Labor Standards Act.


    If Newjeans' agency, Hybe, determines that they intentionally ostracized the members and committed an illegal act under the Labor Standards Act, they may impose fines and other penalties.


    However, it is expected that considerable time will be spent on determining whether the members of Newjeans are considered workers or whether their 'worker status' is recognized. Usually, entertainers who have signed exclusive contracts, such as singers or actors, are classified as special workers (special workers), so it may be difficult to apply the Labor Standards Act.


    ◆ 'Newjeans bullying incident' complaint received over 100 cases... Ministry of Employment and Labor "We must first examine the facts"


    According to the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 19th, around 100 complaints related to the New Jeans bullying incident were received by the Seoul Western District Office last week.


    An official from the Ministry of Employment and Labor explained, "We understand that several cases with the same content (regarding the New Jeans bullying incident) have been received," and added, "We need to first confirm the facts of the complaint. It is not yet at a point where we can predict what kind of action we can take in the current situation."


    The incident caused a stir on the 11th when Newjeans member Hanni claimed during a YouTube live broadcast that "I greeted another celebrity and a manager in the hallway of the Hybe building, and the manager said, 'Ignore me. '"


    After hearing the news, Newjeans' fan A stated on an internet community on the 12th, "There is a need to uncover the truth behind the suspicions of bullying of Newjeans within Hybe," and "I have requested an investigation through the People's Petition to the Ministry of Employment and Labor, which has the 'exclusive investigative authority' under the Labor Standards Act." It appears that many Newjeans fans, in addition to A, have collectively filed complaints.


    In this regard, the Ministry of Employment and Labor plans to closely examine whether the incident in question constitutes workplace bullying under the Labor Standards Act. Article 76, Paragraph 2 of the Labor Standards Act defines workplace bullying as “an act that causes physical or mental pain to other workers or worsens the work environment by taking advantage of one’s superior position or relationship in the workplace beyond the appropriate scope of work.”


    ◆ Expert: "It is possible to act collectively, but labor standards law will be difficult to apply"


    However, in order for the petition to have legal effect, the 'worker status' of the Newjeans members must be acknowledged. Normally, the government classifies artists such as singers and actors as special workers. Accordingly, while allowing special workers to subscribe to employment insurance that allows them to receive unemployment benefits, it discriminates against them by not providing childcare leave or benefits.

    Furthermore, experts generally agree that celebrities who have signed exclusive contracts with their agencies are not considered workers.


    Jin Seonmi, a certified public labor attorney representing Law Firm Yulseon said, "If the incident is recognized as workplace bullying, the most important point is whether or not the person is an employee," adding, "This is because acts such as not greeting or ignoring someone are typical types of workplace bullying that the Ministry of Employment and Labor talks about."


    However, labor attorney Jin stated, "In my opinion, it seems difficult to view them as workers based on the current Ministry of Employment and Labor or court precedents," adding, "Workers under the Trade Union Act and workers under the Labor Standards Act are viewed somewhat differently, but based on the current precedents, there are only a few cases remaining that view actors and entertainers as workers under the Trade Union Act. In short, they can take group action, but it is difficult to receive legal protection under the Labor Standards Act."


    He continued, "The Ministry of Employment and Labor is somewhat passive about proactively recognizing special contract workers as workers under the Labor Standards Act," and "They will probably conduct a thorough investigation, but they seem cautious about concluding that they are 'dismissed,' that is, that they are not workers under the Labor Standards Act."


    The results of the investigation into the relevant complaint are expected to be released by the middle of next month at the earliest, or by the end of the year at the latest. The investigation and processing period for the facts of the complaint is in principle within 25 days from the date of receipt, excluding Saturdays and public holidays. However, the period may be extended twice.


    Accordingly, the conflict between former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin, known as 'Newjeans' Mom', and the parent company Hybe is reaching a climax.


    On the 11th, five members of Newjeans appealed on YouTube Live to bring back former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin by the 25th of this month. The members of Newjeans demanded, "Please bring back the CEO and return Ador to its original state, not the unfamiliar environment and people it is now in," and "Return Ador to its original state by the 25th."

    New Jeans fans declare support for 'Ador normalization'... 'Group letter movement' begins for state audit

    They also asked the parliamentary audit to adopt Hive Chairman Bang Si-hyuk as a witness for questioning pending issues.


    The fans previously sent their third open letter to Bang Si-hyuk, the chairman of Hybe, declaring their support for New Jeans and urging the normalization of Ador.


    This declaration of support, signed by 23,965 people, contains the following message: “Guarantee the activities of Newjins, preserve their works, and respect their partners,” and “Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, Hybe (new CEO Lee Jae-sang), and Ador’s board of directors (new CEO Kim Joo-young), who have remained silent, should be alert to the fact that the number of people supporting Newjeans and CEO Min Hee-jin is increasing.”

    'News Public Support' BTS Jungkook, is he cheering or sniping Min Hee-jin? HYBE 'upset' by the heated

    debate


    As BTS' Jungkook expressed his indirect support for the group New Jeans, HYBE announced that they are confirming his true intentions. The public and the industry are divided on whether Jungkook intended to express his support for former Adore CEO Min Hee-jin, who is in conflict with HYBE, or rather criticize former CEO Min.


    After Jungkook posted a post supporting New Jeans on his Instagram on the 14th, various online communities have been debating his intentions.


    Some people have speculated that Jungkook supports former CEO Min's return, saying, "Supporting New Jeans means that you share their cause."


    On the other hand, some people have interpreted that he indirectly attacked former CEO Min's side, who put artists first, based on the word "guilty" he used in his post. As BTS and other artists within HYBE have kept quiet about the current conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin for the past five months, there is analysis that this is an attempt to criticize the current situation in which New Jeans has come to the forefront of the conflict.


    In response to TenAsia's inquiry about Jungkook's intentions, HYBE explained, "We are confirming the artist's true intentions."


    Meanwhile, on the 14th, Jungkook posted a message saying, "Artists are not guilty" on his Instagram account, which is used to post a picture of his pet dog 'Jeonbam'. On that day, Jungkook shared this post along with a heart emoticon in the colors that symbolize the members of New Jeans: blue (Minji), pink (Hanni), yellow (Danielle), green (Haerin), and purple (Hyein), hinting that it was a message of support for New Jeans.



    This KBS article I posted about Min Heejin trying to stop Newjeans from doing the live is deleted.
