New Jeans Parents disclosure is non-stopping
Previously, early in the morning ILGAN SPORTS has disclosed the email between New Jeans and HYBE, that New Jeans parents were showing regrets that ILLIT has similarity with New Jeans. CLICK HERE to read New Jeans Parents’ side of story, and CLICK HERE to read HYBE’s refute.
Following the first disclosure, ILGAN Sports has made another exclusive news article about New Jeans parents disclosure. This is a translated and organized version of the news article.
“CEO Park Ji-won said he would give the children a long vacation.”
While HYBE and ADOR are in fierce conflict, the mother of one of the New Jeans members had a telephone interview with ILGAN Sports.
“On the day of CEO Min Hee-jin’s press conference (April 25), three New Jean’s mothers, including me, visited HYBE,” A said. “I was worried that CEO Min Hee Jin would be in trouble and I thought we could build a bridge between HYBE and Min Hee Jin,” she added.
“Park Ji-won (HYBE CEO) came about 20 minutes late, and other executives came first,” A said. “We talked about our mediation just for a few minutes, and the executives brought a laptop or something and said, “CEO Min Hee Jin did things wrong.”
Earlier, parents of New Jeans members, including A, pointed out the plagiarism of New Jeans by the rookie group 000, which debuted on March 31 on the label BE:LIFT LAB under HYBE, and sent an e-mail to Ador asking for correction. CEO Min Hee Jin sent an e-mail containing her opinions, including this e-mail, to HYBE and BE:LIFT Lab on April 3. Ador then sent an e-mail again on April 16 saying there was no answer to the issue, and HYBE sent an e-mail reply to the first e-mail on the same day.
When asked, “There is also a suspicion that New Jean’s mothers may have been persuaded by CEO Min Hee-jin and sent such an e-mail,” A said, “Even HYBE talked about it, too” adding, “I was so caught off the guards as the executives showed us the texts between us and the Vice President ADOR A through Kakaotalk”
“Since we don’t know whether we can use these words or not, we asked CEO Min Hee-jin to just check what we wanted to send,” she said, adding, “I clearly told him that it was basically started by us (New Jeans parents) at the meeting (meeting with HYBE management).”
“At first, photos of OOO concept were posted, and my friends sent me if it was a new photo of New Jeans, and added comments like, ‘There are no 00s.’ I wondered what it was. It was so similar. So I exchanged opinions with members’ moms and asked Min Hee Jin. We definitely started it.”
About the claim of Ignoring members’ greetings
Mr. A said, “In the e-mail we sent, ‘Chairman Bang Si-hyuk is not even answering the greetings of the children’, not only our child but also other children have had similar experiences since their debut. One child said he didn’t receive greetings even though he was in the elevator.” She added, “When I raised the issue again that day, HYBE said, ‘Mothers, that’s just so misunderstanding’ and added, ‘Chairman Bang Si-hyuk may have facial recognition disorders.’
A said, “I couldn’t talk more about it on the spot, but after I came out, I thought, ‘No, can’t you hear the sound of greetings even if you have facial recognition disorder? And even if I don’t know who it is, don’t I usually receive greetings when someone say hello to me?'”
In addition, A said, “At the meeting, the HYBE staffs talked about Min Hee Jin’s management of ADOR. At the same time, since this story is a sensitive and cautious story, they urged us not to tell (New Jeans) children.” “But after I came out of HYBE, articles related to ADOR management came out within an hour. No, after talking like they care so much about the children, they published an article in less than an hour, and I wondered, ‘What are these people?'” she added.
New Jeans Parents disclosure on New Jeans Future Plan
Mr. A said, “CEO Park Ji-won came later and told us, ‘Min Hee Jin didn’t share any data at New Jeans Tokyo Dome in June, but HYBE also have a lot of professionals, so they will be able to proceed well.” She added, “At the same time, he plans to give (New Jeans) a long vacation when the Tokyo Dome is over.”
Mr. A said, “I couldn’t ask how long the vacation was, but CEO Park said, ‘It takes about a year and a half to recruit a Grammy (award) producer, and I’m trying to attach it as soon as possible,'” she said. “So when I came out, moms discussed about it, ‘The Grammy producer takes a year and a half, but he said he was going to attach it as soon as possible, so does that mean a long vacation is that much?” and we said we should ask about New Jeans future plan, when we meet him again.”
A said, “We clearly told HYBE, ‘We want New Jeans with CEO Min Hee-jin,'” adding, “It’s a common idea agreed upon by all five member mothers.”
“Actually, I have a lot of worries. I also worry that without Min Hee-jin, I think HYBE might give long hiatus to New Jeans. Before this incident happened, I heard from Min Hee Jin that she has plans to have a world tour of New Jeans next year. But to have a long vacation….”
HYBE making their opinion against New Jeans Parents disclosure
On the other hand, a high-ranking HYBE official said, “Giving a long vacation does not mean that we will take a break,” adding, “Usually, idols do a lot of activities when they make a comeback, and then they take a break. After that, if they have a comeback schedule, they will work hard.”
He then explained, “I never mean to suspend New Jeans activities,” adding, “HYBE meant we would take special care of New Jeans and support them to become the best artist,” explained about New Jeans future plan.
The official countered, “The message of those who attended at the time was, ‘Why would they talk about producers and producers if they were going to make a deposit(an industry slang term for long-term suspension of idol activities in their agency),” adding, “It’s a wicked play that tries to provoke fans’ anger to become independent by making ridiculous claims.”
So New Jeans parents and HYBE has clearly different view on the words that HYBE made about New Jeans future plan. What would be the truth? New Jeans and HYBE.
