NewJeans' Hanni is finally speaking out after her visa situation caused major drama online!
On February 12th, the parents of the NJZ members shared a strong statement through their social media account, clearing up the confusion about her visa status.
The statement revealed that there has been a flood of rumors and false reports about Hanni’s stay in Korea.
"Yesterday and today, speculative articles about Hanni's domestic stay qualifications have been flooding in, and false information has been spreading, so we wish to correct this," they said. They continued, “Hanni was legally granted a new visa on February 11th through the proper procedures.”
But the drama didn’t stop there. The statement also called out Hanni’s agency, ADOR, for allegedly pressuring her and her parents into signing a visa extension agreement.
"ADOR pressured the parents and the individual by sending emails requesting signatures on a visa extension agreement, warning that refusal could lead to illegal stay," the parents claimed.
They even accused the agency of submitting personal information without consent to the authorities, which they described as an “unreasonable action.”
The biggest shocker? The parents slammed some media outlets for using the term “illegal immigrant” without checking their facts.
"Some media outlets have abused the term 'illegal immigrant' based on unverified facts and spread false rumors, leading to unnecessary complaints,” they stated.
They also mentioned that these articles were based on unnamed sources and inaccurate details about Hanni’s visa.
With about 70 articles popping up in just the last two days, the statement stressed that personal and private information, like the type and expiration date of Hanni’s visa, was carelessly shared without her permission.
"This has caused serious harm to her rights," they added. The parents expressed deep regret over how much misinformation has been spread and pointed out that only ADOR could have provided the correct details.
Hanni’s fans are now rallying behind her, hoping that the situation will settle and that the truth will be fully recognized.
