I experienced something a while ago; the 4th floor of the HYBE building is the floor where we get hair and makeup done. So it’s a space where many other artists come and go, and many other staff members come and go as well.

So one day, I was waiting alone in the hallway, and the members of that other team and one of their managers passed by me. So we greeted each other well, but when they came out again a little later, that manager said, ‘Ignore her.’ Right in front of me. I could hear and see everything, but they said, ‘Ignore her.’

But even thinking about it now, I don’t understand why I had to go through such a thing, and I think it’s really absurd.

However, through HYBE’s stance in this article, the fact that the other group was “ILLIT” was revealed for the first time.

…The HYBE side showed the stance that, as a result of checking the 7-8 minutes of CCTV footage capturing the situation at the time, scenes of Hanni and ILLIT members greeting each other were captured, and no grounds for issues, such as the manager making the problematic remark, were found.
