New Jeans Hanni Korean lesson Misunderstanding
There was a controversy on New Jeans Hanni Korean lesson after New Jeans live stream happened on November 21st. Hanni and fans were talking about her Korean skills, and how she improved. Hanni stated that she wants to get Korean lesson, however her company rejected it.
“I told the agency that I wanted to take more Korean classes. But the staff said I don’t need a class. So I thought, “Why do you think it’s unnecessary?” But I heard the reason. All the fans said no, so I don’t have Korean classes. My last class was two years ago.”
It is a translation of her comments of the live stream. It occurred a controversy and complaints about the company. Some said it is harsh for foreigner not to learn the language who needs to live in that country. Some even said its xenophobic because they are liking her struggle in Korean. However, some says she can learn and she learned the language through her interactions with members and fans. So having Korean lesson between the schedules may be too much to handle. They said, actually Hanni is now so fluent in Korean, which is true.
New Jeans Hanni fixing misunderstanding
Hanni didn’t mean to make any controversy or to insult her company, ADOR. So she addressed through out her phoning. (Phoning is a system that New Jeans uses like their own Weverse and Bubble) She said when she asked for the Korean class, it was just during casual talk. She didn’t make a formal request to the agency, or Min Hee Jin, the CEO of ADOR. She was talking to the manager and they were half joking about the issue. So she doesn’t want people to misunderstand about the situation and the intention of her episode.
On the other hand, New Jeans was the first ever girl group to perform in BBMAs.
