Police have launched an investigation into allegations that Ador unlawfully disclosed NewJeans member Hanni's visa information to the media during the agency's contract dispute with the singer.
Following police questioning, Park was quoted by local media as saying investigators focused on whether information such as the type of visa Hanni held and its expiration date constitutes personal information protected by law.
“The Personal Information Protection Act does not apply only to information that cannot be obtained elsewhere,” Park told reporters on Monday.
Park alleged that a small number of Ador employees disclosed internal information regarding Hanni's visa extension process to entertainment media outlets during the agency's legal dispute with the singer.
Kim filed the complaint on July 28, alleging that Ador improperly disclosed information it had obtained while managing Hanni's visa, including the visa category, expiration date and details regarding her visa extension application.
