NJZ Parents Address Hanni's Visa Status

[RussianRoulette]

NJZ's Parents have released a statement today regarding Hanni's visa status.

Long story short is that her visa has been legally renewed, and they are implying they will be pressing legal charges against Ador because they are accusing them of leaking personal information to the press and being the people behind all of the articles speculating her visa status. They might also be accusing them of forging her signature?

Here is the full statement:
​

Hello. Over the past two days, speculative articles regarding Hanni’s domestic residency status have been flooding the media, spreading false information. We would like to clarify the situation.

Hanni has already legally obtained a new visa yesterday (February 11) through the proper procedures.

ADOR pressured both Hanni and her parents by exploiting the sensitive issue of visas, which is a major concern for foreign residents in Korea. They demanded that she sign an extension agreement listing ADOR as her agency and sent emails warning that refusing to sign could result in illegal residency. Furthermore, they submitted personal documents requiring her signature to relevant establishments without her consent and only informed her afterward. These actions are incomprehensible by common standards.

Some media outlets have used the term “illegal resident” based on unverified claims, exacerbating false rumors and triggering the filing of civil complaints. Additionally, although things regarding visas are private personal information, articles cite sources like “anonymous music industry officials” or “multiple music industry insiders” to spread misinformation, and claim that ADOR stated “they cannot verify the situation.” This contradicts the first few articles to be released that contained ADOR’s alleged statement where, they “prepared and attempted to submit all necessary documents for visa extension, but the individual refused to sign.”

Around 70 articles have been published in just the past two days, speculating on personal details such as visa type and expiration date— this is information that should remain private. We deeply regret that sensitive details, which only ADOR or the individual in question should know, have been indiscriminately leaked to the media.

The unauthorized use or disclosure of personal information is unacceptable, and the media’s failure to verify facts before publishing articles is a serious issue. This situation has escalated, with previous instances where members’ personal data was used to track immigration records. In order to protect the members, we are considering taking legal action.

Thank you for taking the time to read this long statement. We sincerely apologize to the fans for any concerns and discomfort this has caused. Please take care of your health. Thank you.​

If these allegations are true it makes ador look very desperate. If they believe they will win the lawsuits they merely have to wait for a verdict. Meanwhile they may well be damaging their own company brand. Committing possible fraud doesn't reflect well upon them or their parent company hybe.
