The CEO then addressed immediate concerns that fans have over NewJeans’ future. In her statement, the CEO lamented the timing of HYBE’s assault.

I am surprised by HYBE for doing this during a very important time for NewJeans. All of this happened within 4 days of making a complaint. I also wonder if there has ever been a case in which a company published articles during an audit before it even yielded results. What was the reason that they needed to make these false articles that nothing to do with what I was actually complaining about?I don’t think HYBE cares or considers artists’ schedules and conditions.

Min Hee Jin then revealed that they are considering how to best navigate NewJeans’ upcoming comeback, which was originally scheduled for May 24.

I don’t want to dilute the main issue here with unnecessary comments. There are very important schedules ahead for NewJeans, so we are discussing what is the best course of action.
