==Labour Committee testimony==
On 15 October 2024, Hanni testified to the Labour Committee of South Korea's National Assembly regarding her experience with Hybe Corporation. The committee considered whether labour rights should be extended to contracted entertainers. Hanni recalled being ostracised by a different group's manager and other experiences of undermining, possibly as a result of strife between senior executives. Hanni and Ador CEO, Ju Young Kim, answered the committee's questions about bullying and dispute resolution.{{cite news|title=K-Pop Star Testifies in South Korean Parliament About Bullying at Work|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/15/world/asia/newjeans-hanni-bullying-testimony.html|author1=Jin Yu Young|date=15 October 2024|access-date=29 October 2024|archive-date=6 November 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241106211422/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/15/world/asia/newjeans-hanni-bullying-testimony.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|title=NewJeans' Hanni Testifies in Korean Parliament on Workplace Bullying & Artist Treatment in K-Pop Industry|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/newjeans-hanni-hybe-ador-ceo-ju-young-kim-south-korea-workplace-bullying-kpop-industry-1235801969/|website=Billboard|date=15 October 2024|access-date=17 October 2024|archive-date=31 October 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241031042033/https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/newjeans-hanni-hybe-ador-ceo-ju-young-kim-south-korea-workplace-bullying-kpop-industry-1235801969/|url-status=live}} At the hearing, Hanni expressed gratitude for the assistance of the Australian Embassy and was concerned about her Korean language skills.{{cite web|title=HYBE suppresses NewJeans?
