Netizens shared their thoughts.
Lately, They have NewJeans appeared at an audit to talk about workplace bullying.
After the apparition, Hanni and Minji did a live broadcast on October 18 (KST) where they talked about the apparition at Review of the National Assembly.
A clip talking about the event, in particular the moments in which Hanni was seen crying, has been shared online and is attracting attention.
Looks like these girls are proud that NewJeans’ Hanni “smashed it all” with her performance at the National Assembly Audit…

Minji: The video you sent me was so, so cute.
Hanni: I was making a lot of weird faces… and tears too, hahaha.
Minji: Many people… pic.twitter.com/UlMmiV2fs0— Translation by MHJ (@jaemgwan) October 18, 2024
Minji: Aw, I love the video you sent me. It was very nice.
Years: Oh, ha!
Minji: Can I talk about it when we do behind the scenes?
Years: Yes, certainly.
Minji: Boys…
Years: I was making a lot of funny faces… and even tears. Hahaha.
Minji: Well, probably a lot of people cried with you at that time.
Years: I’m only human, so… I can cry too. When the tears started flowing… it was funny. I mean, I knew this was going to happen. It was bound to happen. But I definitely noticed the camera shutters closing a lot more when I started crying, haha.
Minji: I could only watch the beginning of your speech because I had a schedule to keep. So as soon as I finished, I looked it up. And he was crying! There were tons of photos of her crying!
Years: Who took those photos?! Let’s have a little chat, hahaha.
Minji: I was like, “Did he cry?!”
Years: Yes, I couldn’t help but cry, lol.
Minji: But in my heart, I was thinking, “That’s my girlfriend! That’s my girl!” They seem to say that they all cried too.
When the clip was released, it was hit with a lot of backlash as many netizens thought that the members treated it as a “performance” rather than an important event about a serious issue that many people are affected by.
Basically admitting that the whole drama with the government was planned, staged and that those shamanic tears 🧙♀️ taught were for public sympathy! Well, it backfired and will ruin them even more.

If your friend said she cried and was crying because of a traumatic experience, why would you give her a response like GOOD JOB, COME ON GIRL?!!! Shouldn’t he have consoled her?! Because they act like the audit is a show to gain sympathy (it was), but also because they admit it 😭 https://t.co/ovD3EFMv3l

Why is she acting like she just went to visit the building?? She was there for a serious bullying allegation and they are LAUGHING at how the camera shutters opened while she was crying? He shouldn’t even talk about it during a fan live. https://t.co/zycKJ9VuJz
