Newzins Hani, will he be deported..Ready to extend the door visa → The door dilemma



As it is reported that New Jeans Hani's visa is about to expire, the members' 'declaration of 'getting out' seems to be in a dilemma.

According to the legal community on the 20th, Hani's E-6 visa, which has dual Australian and Vietnamese citizenship and does not have Korean citizenship, is close to expiring early next year, and it is difficult to extend the visa in the absence of an agency.

According to the Immigration Control Act, when a contract is terminated with an agency, it is required to apply for a change of status of stay within 15 days or to sign a new employment contract.




As a rule, Newzins notified his agency Adore of the termination of the exclusive contract through an emergency press conference on November 28, saying, `The exclusive contract will be terminated from midnight on November 29th.' Therefore, Hani's visa has already expired and she should have returned her alien registration card and left Korea by December 13th, 15 days later. Hani is currently an illegal immigrant if she is correct to have left Adore, as Newzins said.

Foreigners must have an agency to work as celebrities in Korea. Foreign celebrities must obtain an E-6 visa to work, and for this, ▲ copies of exclusive contracts with agencies registered as pop culture and arts planning businesses under the Popular Culture Industry Act ▲ identity guarantee from the invited agency representative ▲ employment recommendation letter under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism must be prepared.

However, Hani's visa is currently valid because Newzins and Adore were not terminated through a formal lawsuit. This is where the irony comes from.




Odor is preparing documents for Hani's visa extension", emphasizing the validity of the exclusive contract.

If Hani extends her visa with the help of Adore and stays in Korea, it will be a big dilemma as she recognizes the maintenance of Adore's exclusive contract. It is in a situation contrary to Newzins' argument of 'Exclusive Contract Termination'. It can be an unfavorable situation in a legal fight.

If Hani comes out of Adore and gets a new E-6 visa through a new agency, but this is also subject to the regulation that it is possible only with the consent of the existing agency, Adore. The visa for the new agency can be obtained only with the consent of Odor's transfer. There is no possibility that Audor will agree to extend Hani's visa from the new agency.




However, the E-6 visa has a lot of documents to submit, and unlike other visas, it takes about two to three months to prepare and process the necessary documents, such as issuing employment recommendations from the Minister of Culture, so entertainment activities will not be allowed in Korea for at least two to three months.

Therefore, if the visa issue continues to be in a dilemma, Newzins may not be able to work as a whole.
