NewJeans members Hanni, Minji and Danielle have voiced frustration over the ongoing feud between ADOR and HYBE in new posts to fans.The two K-pop idols took to fan community app Phoning yesterday (September 2) to speak out the ongoing feud between their label ADOR and music giant HYBE, which owns the K-pop agency.

It comes shortly after Min Hee-jin stepped down as the CEO of ADOR, a move which the music executive has alleged as something that wasn’t her choice.Australian-Korean member Danielle wrote that she had “a lot of concerns” since Min Hee-jin was dismissed as CEO of ADOR, according to Yonhap News Agency. “It’s been difficult in many ways […] For a while, I was in a state of mental breakdown and very anxious,” she added.Similarly, Minji said that she wanted to “comfort” them despite her frustration that “nothing has been solved” about the situation, per Korea JoongAng Daily. “I was so frustrated with myself for not being able to solve anything.

I am so sorry that we’re going through this unnecessary trouble when there’s already not enough time in the day to focus on the good things,” she wrote.“I wanted to come here and tell [our fans] that everything is okay, but I just couldn’t this time,” Minji continued. “As I’m writing this now, just like yesterday, there’s nothing I can do, and nothing has been resolved.

I don’t know how long these anxious days will last, and maybe I am selfish to say this, but I want us and [our fans] to no longer endure these hard times.”Meanwhile, Hanni touched on the dismissal of Min Hee-jin as the CEO of ADOR, while not directly speaking about her thoughts about the situation.
