Belift lab has denied claims that ILLIT girl band manager commented telling the girls to ignore NewJeans’ Hanni.
In a live broadcast on September 11, Hanni claimed that ILLIT’s manager had told one of the members to ignore her which gave room to harassment at work. Following this damaging allegation, Belift Lab, ILLIT’s agency released a statement refuting the claims.
Belift Lab claimed that such a case would never occur since ILLIT’s manager also speaks to NewJeans members in honorifics. Belift backed their claims with through CCTV footage showing an interaction between the two parties. In the CCTV, ILLIT members were seen giving a 90 degree bow greeting upon encountering Hanni in the building corridors.
However, CEO Min Hee Jin claimed that the respective video had been deleted. On their end, HYBE Entertainment’s security personnel claimed that the 30-day footage retention period was over hindering further retrieval.
