NewJeans’ member Hanni made headlines as she attended the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee audit on October 15, 2024, in Seoul. Fans gathered in significant numbers outside the National Assembly in Yeouido, showing their support for the K-pop star with placards and demonstrations.
Fans Rally in Support of Hanni
On the morning of Hanni’s scheduled appearance, fans gathered near the National Assembly, holding signs in support of her decision to testify as a witness. The unexpected move from Hanni sparked significant attention within and outside the K-pop community, as she is not typically obligated to attend such events. This support reflects how much Hanni means to her fans, who rallied to show their love and admiration for her courage.
Restrictions on Media Coverage
Due to the immense media interest in Hanni’s involvement, the National Assembly enforced restrictions on media coverage. These limitations were put in place to ensure the focus remained on the environmental audit, rather than turning the event into a media spectacle around Hanni’s appearance.
Despite this, fans and media alike remained eager to witness her contribution to the audit, particularly as her appearance was not mandatory. On October 9, Hanni had already announced via her platform that she would attend the audit on her own, keeping her fellow NewJeans members and fans in mind. Her decision to appear solo further showcased her sense of responsibility.
Hanni’s Nameplate Set for Afternoon Appearance
Hanni’s official participation in the audit was scheduled for the afternoon session. Her nameplate was set on the committee’s table during the morning’s questioning, signaling her upcoming involvement. As the afternoon approached, anticipation grew for her testimony.
Hanni’s appearance at the audit also highlights the broader influence of K-pop idols in public discussions, especially in significant areas like the environment.
