They also revealed, “Before the next cause injured, we received relationships that Hybe and Ador are again spreading misleading articles on members circulating” voices “to several journalists. This is why we decided to create this account.”

Below is the complete declaration of the parents of the members of Newjeans:
Hi, we are the parents of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein.
This account is temporarily managed out of necessity to represent our position in the dispute with Hybe.
Since there was not an official channel to transmit our position, we made multiple attempts to communicate the facts directly through interviews with various media or through journalists we have known.
While we are grateful to the few media who brought our words carefully, they were in the minority. We also attempted to distribute statements through an agency, but we faced significant challenges when the misleading titles were written, making it difficult to transport our position without distortion.
The voices of the members have been misrepresented, negatively framed or published only in a handful of articles. Meanwhile, Hybe and Ador have distributed hundreds of items every day-duty through propaganda stores on the Internet-Senza followed by standard journalistic practices such as control of the facts or allowing the right to respond. These articles mainly spread false statements or only reflect the position of Hybe and Ador.

We understand that some may feel exhausted by this prolonged dispute and apologize sincerely for any anguish caused.
However, this account will be used mainly to communicate the information that the members themselves find difficult to face directly. Like their only representatives right now, we ask for your understanding that we urgently need this channel to make the record clear.
