During the press conference, she addressed many different topics about her experience with HYBE, confirming at one point that she did not want to exit the position.
I have never once said that I was leaving the company. The [NewJeans] members, who are on the same page as me, would also feel wronged. We have never once said we were leaving the company.

So far, the legal fees have amounted to 2.3 billion won. I’m not as wealthy as people think. I’m going to sell my house because of the legal fees. Sometimes, I wonder if I had the house just for this.
