Vietnamese-Australian artist, Hanni of NJZ (Newjeans), needs a visa to work in South Korea, which she has already won; Understand!
After the South Korean media report that the entertainment visa of Hannia member of NJZ (former Newjeans) had expired and that Idol would have opted not to receive the renewal through a contract with the ador, the artist’s country clarified that she has already received a new visa.
It turns out that Hannithose who have double citizenship in Australia and Vietnam need a visa to work in South Korea. With the revelation that the since it had no longer valid, the revelation that the ador, the company that is involved in a Legal battle with Newjeans/NJZ, would have prepared the necessary documentation to renew the visa, but Idol would have denied signing.
With this, rumors were reflected that the artist was illegally living or facing difficulties to stay cool in the country, but, according to the statement published in the Instagram account managed by parents of the group members, the allegations are false, since Hanni Get a new legal visa last Tuesday, 11.
Completing the information, according to Hankyoreh (via Allkpop), Hanni received the visa through an administrative officer. Details about the type of visa or the company involved were not revealed.
Read the full statement of the member’s parents:
Hello. In the last two days, speculative articles on Hanni’s domestic residence status has flooded the media, spreading false information. We would like to clarify the situation.
Hanni has legally obtained a new visa yesterday (February 11) through the appropriate procedures.
The ador pressed Hanni and her parents exploring the sensitive issue of visas, which is a major concern for foreign residents in Korea. They demanded that she sign an extension agreement listing the ador as her agency and sent emails warning that refusing to sign could result in illegal residence. In addition, they sent personal documents demanding their signature to relevant establishments without their consent and only informed it later. These actions are incomprehensible to common standards.
Some media used the term “illegal resident” based on unqualified allegations, exacerbating false rumors and triggering the registration of civil complaints. In addition, although things related to visas are private personal information, articles cite sources such as “anonymous music industry officers” or “various insiders of the music industry” to spread false information and claim that the ador has declared “that it cannot verify the situation”. This contradicts the first articles to be released that contained the alleged statement of the ador, where they “prepared and tried to send all the necessary documents for the extension of the visa, but the individual refused to sign.”
About 70 articles have been published only in the last two days, speculating about personal details, such as a type of visa and expiration date – this is information that must remain private. We deeply regret that sensitive details, that only the ador or the individual in question should know, have been indiscriminately leaked to the media.
Unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information is unacceptable, and media failure to check facts before publishing articles is a serious problem. This situation intensified, with previous cases where personal data of limbs were used to track immigration records. To protect members, we are considering taking legal action.
Thank you for reserving time to read this long statement. We have sincerely apologize to fans for any concerns and discomfort that it has caused. Please take care of your health. Thanks.
Hanni and the other members of the group announced the end of the exclusive contract with the ador in November last year, after a series of accusations about the company that violates the agreement between the members and the agency. In response, the person filed a lawsuit to ensure the validity of the contract. There is also a process directed to the company so that Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyeinremain with the name of the formation.
The first hearing of the case takes place on April 3. Until then, the group will be active, with a show scheduled and new song scheduled for the month of March, about a new name: NJZ.
