article: Ministry of Labor, “New Jin Hani is not a worker… It does not apply to determining whether or not he is bullying Hive.”

[+279, -69] I attended the meeting because I legally knew I was not a worker. What are the comments about? It's just a response to a claim, so don't act like all boomers have dementia lol.

[+226, -44] The reason she attended the meeting was because her position at the Hive was outside the scope of labor laws. Let’s see Hive running on media play again haha.

[+198, -28] All this means is that the harassment is not legally applicable to her because she is a contractor and not a worker under Hive. Please don't write these articles as if the bullying never happened or is now over.

[+149, -24] Any sane label with a conscience would have called in a mediator when they found out the CCTV in question had been removed. Instead, Hybe issued a statement denying everything and basically left the girls out to dry.

[+130, -22] Anyway, I never expected something like this to happen. The purpose of her attendance was to raise awareness of what was happening.

[+70, -30] The law is so messed up… Is it fair to bully people just because they are contract workers???

[+58, -12] This is just a statement of what the law is; it does not mean that Hive has never engaged in such harassment. Look at the Hive staff bragging about their lack of intelligence in the comments lol.

[+36, -13] Why isn't she considered a worker? You work hard for them by singing and dancing… It's really strange.

[+27, -7] New Jeans Fighting, find strength

[+24, -6] The purpose of Hani's attendance was to raise awareness of blind spots in the law where people like herself are not protected.

[+20, -4] Okay, so the Department of Education needs to answer what to do about harassment if Hani is not classified as a worker.

[+20, -7] The purpose of her presence was to demonstrate that a company like Hive can essentially have its hands tied by this blind spot in the law, no matter how much money it makes for the company.

[+18, -5] So what? Is it okay for companies like Hive to treat artists however they want? Looks like this is something artists should get up in arms about…

[+16, -4] Just because she is not legally a worker does not mean that no harassment occurred.
