Yeah
This should have been handled in private between ador, belift and bang ld
They should have decided whether to give ador to mhj or make her resign and then announced the final decision to the media🤷♀️

And the biggest winner is LSFM, took all the heat off them
Source music ceo dancing in his room lol
Jyp owns only 17% of jype
What if she asks for 5% of jype?
I think the success of ILLIT just added oil to fire. If ILLIT flopped, then MHJ will be more pleased because ONLY she could made the concept worked. High chance ILLIT will change concept if not doing well. BUT ILLIT getting ssuccess is probbaly what threatened her
illit is a threat to newjeans
I don't think her argument is strong
yall i said tatiana is min heejin
its same wording
she is definitely immature
I also felt the same when she gave her statement during the cookie controversy
Also not surprised at all that Bang PD would side with Belift considering Kim Taeho is its CEO. That name hasn't been mentioned yet but he is just as much as a central figure within hybe as he's also the chief operation officer of Hybe and used to run Weverse. It's a real power battle between MHJ and these two.
Makes sense
He's probably bang pd's behind the scenes right hand man
We need a proper kdrama on this topic
All the characters involved are very interesting 🤔
True that
He's definitely a well connected mf
I will never forget the way he appeared on CNN randomly inbetween fighting with kakao over sm stocks
Display MoreIn an interview with the Korea Economic Daily on the 22nd, Min raised the suspicion of plagiarism by Belift Lab, a label under HYBE. It was alleged that HYBE ignored Belift Lab's 'NewJeans plagiarism' raised by ADOR and instead started an audit.
CEO Min Hee-jin argued that HYBE should have prevented this in advance, but instead condoned it and took the lead. She said, "ILLIT's copy of NewJeans was not done by the label Belift Lab alone, but by HYBE," adding, "HYBE, a leading K-pop company, is blinded by short-term profits and is copying successful cultural content without any qualms. ADOR has never allowed or condoned anyone to copy NewJeans' achievements."
Adore executives, including CEO Min, said they had previously demanded a statement of position and corrective action against HYBE and Belift Lab, but they did not receive any response. Last week, she emphasized that she had sent an official letter saying, "I would like you to express your position on the infringement of NewJeans' brand value due to plagiarism between HYBE's labels."
Who is the belift ceo
Will be interesting to see if they give a statement too👀
Welp, mhj’s statement has effectively served as a declaration of war, and this has officially turned into a full blown dispute that cannot end well for both parties. Either mhj is committing fraud, or bang is fabricating lies to incriminate her. One of them will have to lose; both can’t be right.
Whoever is telling the truth doesn’t quite interest me as much as the fact that the newjeans as we know today is officially finished. Either the nj girls move with mhj and lose out on hybe’s resources, or they stay with hybe and will have their creative direction completely altered without mhj. Whatever the case, nj will not be the same ever again.
That's sad
Display MoreMHJ's response per kmedia:
in Hee-jin, CEO of Adore, a label belonging to the girl group New Jeans, responded to the suspicions of an attempt to seize management rights that arose on the 22nd and the subsequent audit of headquarters Hive, saying, "Islet is copying New Jeans ( Copy ) He expressed his position by saying, “Because I raised such an issue, they are trying to fire me.”
CEO Min denied Hive's attempt to seize management rights as the reason for the audit, calling it "absurd."Representative Min issued an official statement this afternoon and raised the issue, saying, “The cultural achievements achieved by Adore and its artist New Jeans are, ironically, being most seriously violated by Hive.”
He said, “Belief Lab, one of the hive labels, debuted the 5-member female idol group Aillet in March,” and added, “Aillit is a representative of New Jeans in all areas of entertainment activities, including hair, makeup, costumes, choreography, photography, video, and event appearances.” “I’m copying,” he claimed.
CEO Min said, "Chairman Bang Si-hyuk of Hive produced Eyelet's debut album. Eyelet's copy of New Genes was not done by the label Beliflab alone, and Hive was involved. Hive, a leading K-pop company, has short-term interests. He raised his voice, saying, “They are blind to this and are copying successful cultural content without any hesitation, and instead of showing something new, they are producing banality.”
He went one step further and said, “Because it is a label under Hive, there is some reaction that Adore and New Genes would have allowed or understood the similarity,” and added, “However, this reaction is a clear misunderstanding, and we would like to correct it. Adore includes Hive and Belif Lab.” “We have never permitted or consented to anyone copying New Genes’ achievements,” he emphasized.
CEO Min said that he had raised an official issue with Hive and Belif Lab regarding the similarity controversy. However, he claimed, “Hive and Belif Lab are busy making excuses rather than admitting their mistakes, and are taking their time by delaying a specific response.”
In addition, "In the meantime, Hive suddenly notified me today that it will take steps to suspend (my) duties and dismiss me, saying that the reason for this is 'there is a risk that Adore's corporate value will be significantly damaged.'" "At the same time, the media reported ( He denied the suspicions raised by Hive, saying, "I tried to play the media with ridiculous content, such as 'I attempted to seize management rights.'
CEO Min said, "How can a legitimate protest to protect New Genes' cultural achievements be detrimental to Adore's interests? How can it be an act of usurping Adore's management rights? What intention cannot be understood through common sense?" “It appears that there is,” he criticized.
At the same time, “Hive, Belif Lab, and Chairman Bang Si-hyuk appear to think that simply kicking the individual out of the company will end the situation, without making a proper apology or preparing countermeasures,” he said. “We will protect the cultural achievements that Newgenes has achieved and no further copying He made it clear that he had no intention of resigning, saying, "We will use all possible means and methods to prevent infringement due to his actions."

Not an inter-label fight
if I was bang pd, I would pull out all my hair out of frustration
This k-pop company has no shame fighting like this in public lol
doubt that the girls' contracts will allow them to just follow MHJ into the wilderness. They are valuable assets to HYBE and originally signed on with Source anyway. A leadership shake-up within ADOR isn't the end of their careers unless they srsly messed with their original contract (50/50 style)
Originally signed to source? How does this work?
The audit reminds me so much of what went down with Baek Hyun Woo on QoT...so many QoT scenes getting replayed here in real time...damn
Mhj probably watches it too lol
That's what I'm thinking (but didn't want to say)
I think this works in favour of BTS 😆
And Bts needs to come back like right NOW!
Back from the military 🫠
Omg whyknock theories??
Damn if this is true then we are about to see some corporate mudslinging
Technically I can't cancel someone i never stanned lmao but hyuna in the "u disappointed me" way
I don't see why the company is at fault if the artist is lipsyncing
It's the artist's fault
