im kinda confused: do njs have an actual manager? was mhj their manager, creative director, and ceo? shouldnt a manager be helping the girls through everything theyve been through? like hanni's comment about the other hybe group's manager saying to ignore her, where was njs manager during this? i feel like a lot of these complaints would be taken more seriously by hybe if it was brought up by a non-artist adult i.e. a manager? why did hanni herself have to go to the ador ceo for a complaint?
I don't follow nj outside of their music but if I had to wager a guess then I'd say I don't see how they could even function without field managers maybe mhj herself limits their roles into purely logistical ones though I honestly would not be surprised to hear that with how freakishly controlling she seems to be 😵💫

What I got from watching Kdramas is that people labelled as managers in SK are road managers who can help and stuff but directors are more like the Scooter Braun type manager/agent. It's why Kyungsoo getting Nam Kyungsoo on his side early on has been great for him. This means NJ are really screwed without MHJ
not to be me anon but did you maaayybbeeee watch call my agent?
I actually think it's a mix of both for idols if you look at exo for example they're pretty close to their managers, I think that on top of the whole logistics aspect they're supposed to be kind of "care keepers" - but indeed, they don't get involved in career aspects, as you're describing that's mostly the role of directors
