C.A.P (Bang Min Soo), a former member of Teen Top, has expressed his disappointment in NewJeans' Hanni after her appearance at the National Assembly audit.

On October 23rd, C.A.P uploaded a video titled “NewJeans Hanni’s National Assembly Appearance is a Problem” on his YouTube channel, where he openly shared his thoughts about Hanni’s speech.

He said, “I read about Hanni attending the audit, but she only talked about herself. As a member of NewJeans, she’s on a different level. She should have addressed more than just her personal experience. How can people relate to that?”

C.A.P further added, “It’s important to use your fame to highlight other people's stories. If you want to discuss labor issues, focus on the freelancers who are overlooked. But instead, she spoke only about her team and the people managing them. She missed an opportunity to create empathy.”

He also commented on Hanni’s background, saying, “She’s not even Korean, and yet 90% of her speech was about herself. Most people think NewJeans makes a lot of money, and this doesn’t look good for her or the group.”

C.A.P continued to criticize her, stating, “There are a lot of underprivileged people, even in the entertainment industry. She should have focused on them instead of talking about how her team was ignored. It’s frustrating because she didn’t use her platform well.”

Meanwhile, tensions between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin have escalated, leading to the National Assembly audit. The conflict has affected NewJeans, with Hanni and her fellow members raising concerns about bullying and mismanagement within the company.

Hanni appeared before the Environment and Labor Committee at the National Assembly on October 15th, where she testified about workplace bullying in the idol industry.

During the hearing, she expressed disappointment in ADOR’s new CEO, Kim Joo Young, saying, “I don’t think CEO Kim did her best. There were more things she could have done. I hope she does better in the future.”

The episode has sparked conversations about how idols should use their influence to bring attention to broader issues within the industry.
