Perjury Accusation Against ADOR CEO Kim Joo-young to Be Reviewed by National Assembly Committee

On November 22, the National Assembly revealed that the petition, which was received on November 12, urging the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee (ENVI) to review the perjury charges against Kim Joo-young, has been forwarded to the committee as a reference document.

As a result, the petition accusing Kim Joo-young of perjury will be reviewed alongside another petition regarding the withdrawal of HYBE’s “Best Employer” status by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, which was submitted to the National Assembly.

The petitioner, referred to as A, claims that Kim Joo-young perjured herself during her testimony before the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee on October 15. A has urged the National Assembly to take action based on the National Assembly Testimony and Evidence Law. The petitioner is not associated with the NewJeans fandom. During the National Assembly hearing, Kim Joo-young, in her capacity as a witness, made statements regarding the “Hanni bullying incident” involving NewJeans, with Hanni herself appearing as a reference witness.

The part of Kim Joo-young’s testimony that A claims to be perjury involves an internal document, the “Weekly Music Industry Report,” which was recently made public and caused controversy. A states, “The recipient list for the document included Kim Joo-young, who was the CHRO at the time.” A argues that despite being aware of the document’s existence, Kim Joo-young failed to mention it during her testimony, where she claimed to be making efforts to prevent human rights violations and uphold a ‘respectful behavior code.’ This, according to A, constitutes perjury.

Additionally, a petition to cancel HYBE’s “Best Employer” designation by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, which gained 50,000 signatures on November 9, has also been referred to the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee.
