About Hanni
Hanni Pham grew up in Melbourne dancing K-pop choreography with the Aemina Dance Crew and was the only NewJeans member taken from Hybe’s Plus Global Auditions, moving to Seoul as a trainee without speaking Korean. She wrote lyrics for “Hype Boy” and “OMG”. In October 2024 she appeared as a reference witness before the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee to describe how the group had been treated — a hearing that drew international attention before the case was dismissed on the grounds that idol group members are not classified as workers. She agreed to return to ADOR at the end of December 2025.
