Netizens are speculating ILLIT's manager told the HYBE girl group to ignore NewJeans' Hanni.
During NewJeans' unexpected live stream yesterday, Hanni revealed a manager for another HYBE label artist instructed the girl group to ignore her. Hanni expressed, "There's hair and makeup rooms on the 4th floor of the building, and it's a space frequented by other artists and staff members. I was alone in the hallway, and another group and one of their managers passed by. We greeted each other well at that time, but when the group came out again with the manager, the manager said, 'Ignore her.' Right in front of me. I could see and hear everything, but the manager said, 'Ignore her.' I don't know why, even now, I had to go through that treatment. It leaves me speechless."
On September 12, the topic of a group ignoring Hanni came up on ILLIT's recent YouTube video with many netizens and seeming fans of NewJeans questioning the ILLIT members. Comments stated, "Ignore," "Hey, was it your manager," "Do you guys know which manager told you to ignore Hanni?" "Who told you guys to ignore Hanni? I'm sure it's either ILLIT's manager or LE SSERAFIM's manager," and more.
In a viral post on Nate's online community Pann, many netizens are continuing to speculate which HYBE group was told to ignore Hanni, and many are also warning others not to jump to conclusions.
