On the 9th, Team Bunnies, NewJeans‘ streaming support team, posted a lengthy message on X (formerly Twitter), revealing this information.
They added, “Several journalists from various media outlets have reported that information was obtained illegally. They informed us that HYBE directly showed the reporters and media desks information obtained beyond what could be acquired in the course of their duties, attempting to manipulate the media.”
They concluded, “We will submit additional evidence and testimonies gathered as supplementary materials to the existing complaint soon. Once again, we want to stress that we are preparing much more than just this lawsuit.”
Here is the full statement from Team Bunnies of the NewJeans Music Streaming Team.
“Hello, this is Team Bunnies of the NewJeans Music Streaming Team.
Numerous journalists have reported to us that the information was illegally obtained. Additionally, it was revealed that HYBE showed journalists and news desks information that exceeded the scope of what could be lawfully acquired in an attempt to manipulate media coverage. We plan to submit newly gathered evidence and testimony to supplement our initial complaint.
Once again, we would like to emphasize that we have many more actions planned in addition to the current complaint. Furthermore, HYBE should stop shifting responsibility by using phrases like “independent judgment of ADOR” and “multi-label”. Out of the four newly appointed internal directors at ADOR, three are high-ranking executives at HYBE (C-level), and Lee Jae-sang, who resigned from ADOR’s board of directors in July, is currently the CEO of HYBE. No matter what happens, HYBE cannot avoid responsibility.
Please stop playing word games.
Thank you.”
