English summary The sudden meeting may have surprised some of you, but we felt it was important to share our thoughts and opinions on recent events. We decided to hold this live session because many of our colleagues who continue to work with us, even after the CEO's dismissal, have been suffering under unfair demands and pressure. Watching this was very difficult for us, and the fact that we could only stand by was frustrating. We are also concerned about our future as a group of five. We were worried about the reactions to this live session, including the possibility that people might think our former CEO ordered this. But we want to clarify that this is something we, as five members, decided to do ourselves. We received help from trusted directors for things we couldn’t prepare on our own, like setting up the filming location. We realized that just waiting and hoping for things to resolve on their own wasn’t the best approach. This situation deeply affects our lives and careers. That’s why we decided to express our views directly and openly, believing it’s healthier than doing nothing. Our message today is directed towards HYBE. We had meetings with the current management to express our concerns, but the actions that followed showed a lack of understanding and communication. We felt our opinions weren’t being heard, and we hoped that by speaking out publicly, our voices would reach the right people. Since our debut with NewJeans, we have been aligned with our former CEO Min Hee-jin’s vision, sharing similar aspirations and creative goals. She has been more than just a producer to us; she has been integral to our group’s identity. We felt we were creating something unique together. However, we’ve recently faced unreasonable and distressing situations, such as the unauthorized release of our private trainee videos and medical records. We raised these issues with HYBE, but there has been no resolution or protective action. Then, our CEO was dismissed, leaving us feeling lost about whom to trust. We hope our concerns will be acknowledged. We want to continue making music and achieving our goals without the distractions and unnecessary struggles. We want to maintain our group’s identity and creative process, which has been developed with our former CEO. Please, let us do what we love and stop obstructing our path. Thank you for listening.
