Thank you for sharing this, I wanted to read some of the legal aspects related to the case and this one delves in to it in depth.
As I suspected, MHJ can do very little atp and her being fired is but inevitable.
Unless she can blackmail them with proof that they did something illegal.
Her strategy seems to be to do as much damage to Hybe and NJs, in the hope that they will pay her out to shut up. That is not going to happen, because if they do, others will try to steal from them in the future.
In an exclusive report, Dispatch outlined exactly how Min Hee Jin was able to form ADOR as well as how NewJeans was formed. First, each of the members’ trainee periods was revealed by Dispatch for the first time. Minji joined Source Music in 2017 while Hanni joined Source Music in 2019 after participating in Big Hit and Source Music’s joint global audition. Haerin and Danielle both joined Source Music as trainees in 2020 and while Hyein‘s exact signing date was not shared by Dispatch, they did say Source Music first discovered her online before inviting her to an audition, which she passed and thus signed with Source Music.
All five of the NewJeans members trained under Source Music until the second half of 2021 and were actually selected by Source Music’s CEO So Sung Jin. While Min Hee Jin moved to HYBE in 2019 as the company’s Chief Branding Officer, her role was to take charge of the branding for HYBE’s affiliate companies. Big Hit also stated in their official announcement that Min Hee Jin would be taking charge of a new girl group and launch her own label to discover new talents and produce music.
Min Hee Jin was initially in charge of the new girl group that would debut under Source Music. But she wanted to be in charge of her own agency, leading to the birth of ADOR. With this, Min Hee Jin took trainees from Source Music into her own agency. Five of those trainees included the current members of NewJeans (Minji, Hanni, Haerin, Danielle, Hyein). But the training expenses for these five trainees were still billed to Source Music. (badguy asked about trainee debt. Yes hybe dont have trainee debts, it means Source left with newjeans training expenses in their budget)
So Source Music’s CEO So Sung Jin is the one who actually discovered them.
MJH took them from Source Music, and now she wants to take Ador away from Hybe shareholders, which includes many Koreans.
They could get Haeyoon from Cherry Bullet now for free, and a couple of the Kep1er girls such as Xiaoting, Mashiro and Bahiyyih, and that would form the core of a strong group.
Add a 2nd girl from Japan and one from Thailand and as long as they don't have an unknown such as Garam with issues, that group would be set.
It's crazy after their last comeback tanked and their tour flopped theybare still trying it with these fake sales.
Who you talking about? Some recent #1 group with more daily ULs in one Korean platform than total streams daily in Spotify globally?
If the girls got $4 million each, it means all Hybe idols are rich. Allegedly they don't have debt like other idols too.
They should buy out MJH shares and tell her to get lost.
MJH must have said No. I don't want my group associating with lessor groups.
if nj sides with mhj they about to face the downfall of the century. To the point one would think they betrayed their country in their last life and got fame in this life only to make up for that karma in equal. Can you imagine getting everything and then those same people dragging your name through dirt. The best way to get a reality check on idol life. kpop fans and gp have 2 sides angels until you cross the line then you truly see the devil. No need for rituals when public opinion exists. I'm pretty sure garam gets bullied untill this day
This is not speculation, this happened only a year ago to 50-50. It will be even worse, since many Koreans own Hybe shares, so they are in effect stealing from Koreans.
They have already replied to this and said their support to njns will dwindle to 20-30% of what it is
Realistically if they choose MJH
1. Korea - get blacklisted. A large percentage of the GP and other companies and fandoms will forever brand them like they have the 50-50 members, ungrateful traitors and greedy scabs. So no Korean CFs anymore.
2. Japan - zero Japanese members. All competing companies will just mediaplay that they have no Japanese members
3. US - MJH doesn't have the Hybe-BTS connections to use anymore
They will still do well, just not as well.
The members and their families should be smart. This is not like the US or Australia where you can walk out of a contract with no penalty. Korea is in the freaking dark ages. If they walk out like 50-50, they will be 50-50ed. Fulfill the obligation, for which they will be well paid, then you can do whatever you want when the contract ends.
Stick a Fork in Her, She's done
Display More4/5 of NJs are Source Music girls before moving to Ador, and if Le Sserafim in naturn was supposed to be a Bighit gg, it makes sense after MHJ x Bang PD GG (NJ) under Source Music fell through, the company was left under red. MHJ ripped everything out of Source Music to Ador, and Bang PD assemble LSF so quick to save the company, therefor left with no Bighit GG. Stay tuned for more info.
Riize, Tws, Illit, Lsf all had a trainee/members left before/after debut.
All the neat theories up and running suspecting of MHJ right now lol.
In the end, thousands of employees rely on Hybe, and with Ador attempting a coup illegally, Hybe must continue to demonstrate that instances like this are unacceptable in order to prevent other labels from engaging in unethical behavior.
Yes Lsf was meant to be a Big Hit group as Sakura didn't sign to Source Music. Who in their right mind would sign to Source Music, if YG and SM are making you offers as well.
NJ will most likely now move to Big Hit as a PR move, and they will gut Ador so that MJH's 18% is worth nothing.
And then MHJ goes to court, where Hybe will now have to prove the legality of the suspension.
Thats not how companies work. The shareholders can vote on who the CEO and board directors are, at any time.
If they fire her from being the creative lead that is a different story.
If they really can only blame Mr A. for everything then it shouldn't be difficult for MHJ to answer the audit questionaire. Should be easy to give straightfoward answers about the truth. However if there is more to it and MHJ is involved, then of course she cannot honestly answer the audit questionaire. If she answers that honestly it's an immmediate confession, but if she lies on it and Hybe catches her out on it, then she's liable for even more legal troubles. Any lawyer in that case would advise her to not touch the audit questionaire in any way.
Also read that the logs of Mr A reports were written on the 23rd and 29th of March. I'll try to make a timeline later today of all significant events mentioned so far to see where we're at
imo the audit questionaire is part of the process, the internal policies and procedures, that Hybe has to go through before they can fire someone. If it was a non-listed company, they could just go in, and escort her out of the building straight away.
It ends faster though since Hybe owns 80% of Ador. They call a shareholders meeting, and just vote out MJH and her minions off the board of directors.
So Le Sserafim was supposed to be under Big Hit but was transferred to Source Music to save the label.
That kinda makes sense because Source Music had no group at the time, otherwise they twiddle their thumbs while they train up a group from scratch for 2 years?
Tatiana, who has been with us since the day Illit debuted, is just reposting since joining what are the talking points from MJH's side so its interesting to review.
MJH has until tomorrow to submit her audit responses. The fireworks happens the next day.
So there's a viral post like this on theqoo (1400 comments). There's a link to an actual news article on naver as the source. The source of that article I guess is statements made by HYBE about what they found.
Now it's getting to a point where I'm not sure if she's crazy enough to go there or if this is some smear campaign meant to completely ruin her reputation before they get replace her.
How convenient is it for HYBE to find an "internal memo" containing something this insane? Why would it ever be written in a memo and stored to begin with. Something seems off
This is going to play out like 50-50, but bigger because it also affects many Koreans who own shares in Hybe.
If Hybe have proof she abused people, then it is over.
Objectively they are not a copy. They are version 2.0 with better results. Proof MJH's influence is holding back NJs.
There is definitely a mole or several in Ador, a person or people that gain something if she leaves.
Seems like Hybe collected everything they needed to legally and ethically terminate her, without severance and give her the 18%. For example if NJ transfers to another sublabel then Ador is worthless.
from what i saw awhile ago she claims illit copied their mv, make up, hair, dancing, you name it. whether or not that was media play or she actually said it...is why everyone said if they copied so did tws and riize and that's how everyone is getting dragged. there's so much he said she said i don't know fact from fiction. this is just entertainment at the moment. lol
Almost every big 4 group that has debuted in the last 6 months, she is claiming they copied her. She's nuts.
