On November 22, the National Assembly revealed that the petition, received on November 12, urging the National Assembly’s Committee on Environment and Labor (ENVI) to review the perjury charges against Kim Joo-young, was forwarded to the commission for reference. document.
Accordingly, the petition accusing Kim Joo-young of perjury will be heard together with another petition regarding the revocation of HYBE’s “Best Employer” status by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, which was presented to the National Assembly.
The petitioner, referred to as A, claims that Kim Joo-young perjured herself during her testimony before the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee on October 15. A urged the National Assembly to act on the National Assembly Testimony and Evidence Act. The petitioner is not associated with the NewJeans fandom. During the National Assembly hearing, Kim Joo-young, as a witness, made statements regarding the “Hanni bullying incident” involving NewJeans, with Hanni herself appearing as a reference witness.
The part of Kim Joo-young’s testimony in which A claims perjury concerns an internal document, the “Weekly Music Industry Report”, which was recently made public and caused controversy. A states, “The list of recipients of the document included Kim Joo-young, who was the CHRO at the time.” A claims that despite knowing of the document’s existence, Kim Joo-young made no mention of it during her testimony, in which she said she was committed to preventing human rights violations and upholding a “respectful code of behavior.” According to A, this constitutes false testimony.
Additionally, a petition to cancel the designation of HYBE as a “Best Employer” by the Ministry of Employment and Labour, which gained 50,000 signatures on November 9, was also referred to the Environment and Labor Committee of the National Assembly .
