They released the CCTV footage in court.
ADOR has publicly released CCTV footage on March 7, 2025, showing members of ILLIT bowing 90 degrees to NJZ’s Hanni.
Previously, NJZ claimed that in HYBE’s office’s artist-only area, a manager of another group instructed the members to “ignore” Hanni and that HYBE subsequently deleted the CCTV footage. NJZ did not name which group it was, but it was later named as ILLIT in HYBE’s statement on the matter.
During a key hearing on March 7, 2025, between ADOR and NJZ at the Seoul Central District Court over the validity of their exclusive contract, ADOR presented the allegedly deleted CCTV footage. The footage shows three ILLIT members bowing 90 degrees to Hanni as they enter the hallway. It also captures them giving the same greeting to Danielle as she walks by.
However, as the CCTV footage does not include audio recording, it remains unclear whether ILLIT’s manager did instruct them to ignore Hanni as per Hanni’s claims. You can read more about the original matter below.
