    K-netizens criticize NewJeans Minji’s mother for not knowing anything about trainees and not looking at other idols’ efforts


    original post: here


    [+819, -194]Minji’s mother seems to know nothing about the trainees. How well does she want her daughter to be treated?


    1. [+437, -30] No, coming home late is not only a characteristic of HYBE trainees but also a characteristic of all trainees in Korea, right? Mom, if Minji comes home early, she won’t be able to go to college or debut


    2. [+404, -57] Minji’s mother would be shocked if she knew that the condition to join SM Entertainment is to drop out of school…


    3. [+399, -25] Haewon only goes to school for a few hours, and Seventeen’s Hoshi has been leaving the practice room at 2am and going to Namyangju at 5am for the past 5 years


    4. [+396, -30] Even if I sleep for 2 hours and stay up all night doing homework, I still can’t earn 5 billion won… I’ll also live in a dorm full of cockroaches and come home at 2am, so let me earn 5 billion won


    5. [+147, -2] She raised her daughter with love without ever feeding her kalguksu


    6. [+127, -0] Being a trainee doesn’t necessarily guarantee you’ll debut…;; There are a lot of kids in their teens packing their bags because they can’t debut even after putting all their money into being trainees… I can see her talking without really knowing anything


    7. [+84, -0] With just one word, she wiped out all the idols who worked hard when they were trainees or were still struggling because they debuted under small companies


    8. [+82, -2] BLACKPINK also lived in a dorm with cockroaches… I acknowledge Min Heejin’s ability, but would it have been possible without HYBE’s money?

    HYBE Left with Only 'Character Attacks' as 'Embezzlement' Disappears—Can They Defend Against Defamation Lawsuits?

    The grand claims of "Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund," "Singapore Investment Corporation," and "Securing Global Investment Funds" as grounds for embezzlement in corporate control have disappeared, leaving only KakaoTalk messages. Ahead of the second round of accusations of professional embezzlement involving Min Hee-jin, the CEO of subsidiary ADOR, HYBE appears to have decided to target the messenger amid a side battle of defamation lawsuits. As the investigation into the complaint is still ongoing, the focus seems to be more on attacking Min’s character rather than providing clear evidence of wrongdoing. Most of the content revealed so far is extracted from Min's personal KakaoTalk chats, leading to public outrage over "invasion of privacy." There is considerable interest in whether HYBE can achieve the "reversal of public opinion" it desires.


    On the 24th, ADOR filed a complaint with the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul against HYBE executives for obstruction of business, electronic records inspection, and violations of the Information and Communications Network Act (including information network intrusion and defamation). The accused include former HYBE CEO Park Ji-won, Audit Committee Chairman Lim Soo-hyun, Chief Legal Officer Jung Jin-soo, Chief Financial Officer Lee Kyung-joon, and Chief Communication Officer Park Tae-hee.


    ADOR stated, "The accused forcibly acquired work laptops owned by ADOR under the guise of 'subsidiary audit by the parent company' to remove Min Hee-jin as ADOR CEO after her internal whistleblowing in April. Through this, they obtained personal KakaoTalk message conversations and forensically analyzed a laptop Min reset and returned upon joining ADOR in 2022, illegally acquiring personal conversations."

    ADOR explained the reasons for the lawsuit, stating, "They edited and distorted these personal conversations to create false press releases about Min Hee-jin's management and business conduct, which were distributed to the media to form a negative public opinion about her."


    Previously, in April, HYBE accused Min of intentionally causing damage to ADOR to seize control of its management and rights to its group NewJeans, accusing her of professional embezzlement. HYBE claimed that an audit of ADOR's executives revealed specific plans for Min to take over ADOR's management through personal KakaoTalk messages. These plans included having Singapore's GIC and Saudi Arabia's PIF acquire ADOR's 80% stake held by HYBE and inducing HYBE insiders to sell ADOR's shares.


    HYBE also claimed to have confirmed that Min met with external investors to execute her plan. HYBE identified these investors as high-ranking officials from D (Dunamu), a HYBE shareholder, and N (Naver), a joint venture partner. However, when a media outlet published their names and reported that they could not be targets for the takeover since they were co-owners of HYBE shares with voting rights, HYBE requested the article's removal but was refused. The once-clear grounds for Min's embezzlement involving the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund have since disappeared from HYBE's narrative.


    The plan to hold an ADOR interim shareholders' meeting to dismiss Min was also thwarted on May 30, when a court sided with Min's request to prohibit voting rights exercise. The court stated, "It seems clear that Min Hee-jin sought ways to control ADOR independently by detaching NewJeans from HYBE's control or pressuring HYBE to sell its ADOR shares. However, it is difficult to say she progressed to concrete actions beyond exploration. This could be seen as a betrayal to HYBE, but not as embezzlement against ADOR." The court found no urgent reason for HYBE to dismiss Min, as no substantial evidence of her causing significant damage to ADOR had been verified.


    In preparation for the possibility that the police investigation may not acknowledge "specific execution of embezzlement," HYBE now has to focus on whether Min, as CEO, violated her duties and caused damage to ADOR or its asset NewJeans. This involves assessing Min's capability and character in protecting and supporting NewJeans and her qualifications as ADOR's CEO.


    Given this background, the recent leaks of Min's KakaoTalk messages are seen as attempts to shape public opinion about her character, separate from proving actual charges. The legal judgment of the charges rests with the investigation agencies, but HYBE's corporate judgment about the "significant damage to ADOR's corporate value" must also consider public sentiment that has watched the HYBE-Min Hee-jin dispute for three months.


    However, the public has not responded as HYBE hoped to the repeated leaks of Min's KakaoTalk conversations. Instead, they see only explicit swearing and vulgar language directed at HYBE and label employees without clear evidence of Min's specific execution of embezzlement.


    Furthermore, the re-release of materials that were pointed out as intentionally leaked by HYBE last April and May is causing public fatigue. On online communities and social media (SNS), comments like "Fairly reveal 3 years of HYBE executives' KakaoTalk conversations to see if they qualify as executives," "HYBE, which fails every business venture, or Min Hee-jin, who backbites employees on KakaoTalk, which one is the embezzler," and "If you are confident about winning legally, wait for the embezzlement investigation results instead of continually leaking materials, suggesting a lack of confidence" mock HYBE.


    Amid this, the conflicting positions of Min and HYBE regarding the process of obtaining Min's conversation records draw attention to which side holds the truth. Min's side claims, "The illegally obtained records were forensically analyzed from previously submitted laptops," while HYBE counters, "Min herself sent the records to her HYBE work email account, leaving them on our server."


    HYBE stated, "Min Hee-jin has not submitted any information assets like laptops to HYBE since the audit, nor has she participated in the audit. The two ADOR deputy representatives submitted information assets with consent, and we did not forcibly obtain them. In the previous injunction hearing, we already clarified in court that we did not forensically analyze the laptops Min returned."


    HYBE continued, "Min agreed to personal data processing upon joining HYBE, as disclosed during the injunction hearing. Despite repeatedly explaining how we obtained the KakaoTalk conversation contents, Min and others filed a false accusation, to which we will respond with a countersuit for false accusation."

    Hybe's side: "Min Hee-jin has never responded to any gratitude... will respond with false accusations"

    Hybe has explained the claims made by CEO Min Hee-jin and others in their lawsuit against the management.


    On the 24th, Hybe stated, “We would like to inform you of the following claims made by CEO Min Hee-jin and others in their lawsuit against Hybe’s management today.”


    Hybe stated, “CEO Min Hee-jin has never submitted any information assets, including a laptop, to Hybe. She has never responded to an audit. Hybe continued, “The two vice-presidents submitted information assets with their consent. Our company has not obtained them under any coercion.”


    They continued, “We have already stated in court during the injunction hearing that we have never forensically examined the laptop that CEO Min Hee-jin returned in the past. CEO Min Hee-jin sent a large amount of work data, including conversation records with a shaman, to an external party using her Hybe work email account, and this remains on our server. The external recipient of this email was identified as a high-ranking official of our partner company, Company B.”


    In addition, Hybe added, “CEO Min Hee-jin agreed to the processing of her personal information when she joined Hybe, and this was already revealed at the injunction hearing. We would like to inform you that we will respond with false accusations against CEO Min Hee-jin and others who have filed a lawsuit with false information despite our repeated disclosure of the circumstances of her acquisition.”


    Meanwhile, CEO Min Hee-jin is known to have filed a complaint with the Yongsan Police Station on the same day against CEO Park Ji-won and others for obstruction of business, detection of electronic records, etc., violation of information and communications network, and defamation.


    "Illegal Acquisition and Leakage of Text Messages" Adore, Hive Park Ji-won and 5 other executives sued

    Adore CEO Min Hee-jin and others have filed a lawsuit against five Hive executives for defamation, etc.


    On the 24th, Adore stated, "CEO Min Hee-jin and others filed a lawsuit against Hive CEO Park Ji-won, Audit Committee Chairman Lim Soo-hyun, Chief Legal Officer Jeong Jin-soo, Chief Financial Officer Lee Kyung-joon, and Chief Communications Officer Park Tae-hee at the Yongsan Police Station today (July 24th) for obstruction of business, detection of contents of electronic records, etc., violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (infringement of information and communications network, etc.), and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation)."


    They continued to claim, "The above defendants have repeatedly leaked illegally obtained private messenger conversations and personal information without permission and falsely edited them for their own purposes countless times."

    In doing so, they added, "In response to CEO Min Hee-jin's two internal whistleblowing incidents in April, the defendants forcibly obtained the plaintiffs' work-related laptops owned by Adore under the pretext of 'auditing a subsidiary of the parent company' with the aim of dismissing her from her position as CEO of Adore." "Through this, they obtained the plaintiffs' private KakaoTalk message conversations, and illegally obtained personal conversations, even by forensically performing a laptop that CEO Min Hee-jin initialized and returned when she took up her post at Adore around 2022." They also claimed,


    "The defendants edited and distorted the private conversations they obtained, created press releases containing information different from the facts about the plaintiff Min Hee-jin's management and work performance, and distributed them to the media to form negative public opinion about the plaintiff Min Hee-jin."

    Lastly, they emphasized, "The plaintiffs have requested several times, both officially and unofficially, to stop these acts that harm our artists and Adore members and cause confusion to the public, but the defendants' illegal acts have continued until recently." They continued, "We can no longer tolerate the damage to our artists and Adore members caused by these illegal acts, so we are taking action."

    Previously, Dispatch raised the suspicion of 'New Jeans member stealing' based on KakaoTalk messages exchanged between Adore CEO Min Hee-jin and a shaman. Dispatch initially alleged that CEO Min participated in the Source Music trainee Team N debut project, which included the New Jeans members, in a branding role, but that CEO Min expanded the scope four times and intentionally delayed Team N's debut schedule in order to lead the New Jeans' debut. CEO Min's side clearly stated that these were false statements and announced that they would take legal action in the future.

    Full Text of Adore’s statement of claim

    Adore’s CEO Min Hee-jin and others filed a complaint against Hive CEO Park Ji-won, Audit Committee Chairman Lim Soo-hyun, Chief Legal Officer Jeong Jin-soo, Chief Financial Officer Lee Kyung-joon, and Chief Communication Officer Park Tae-hee at the Yongsan Police Station today (July 24th) for obstruction of business, detection of contents of electronic records, etc., violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (infringement of information and communications network, etc.), and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation).

    The above defendants have repeatedly leaked and falsely edited illegally obtained private messenger conversations and personal information for their own purposes. In April, in response to CEO Min Hee-jin’s two internal whistleblowing reports, the defendants forcibly acquired the plaintiffs’ work laptop PCs owned by Adore and used by the plaintiffs under the pretext of “auditing a subsidiary of the parent company” with the intent of dismissing her as Adore’s CEO. Through this, the plaintiffs' personal KakaoTalk message conversations, etc. were obtained, and the laptop that CEO Min Hee-jin initialized and returned when she took office at Adore around 2022 was forensically analyzed to illegally obtain non-work-related personal conversations. In addition, the defendants edited and distorted the acquired personal conversations to create press releases containing false information about the plaintiff Min Hee-jin's management and work performance, and distributed them to the media to form negative public opinion about the plaintiff Min Hee-jin.

    The plaintiffs have made several official and unofficial requests to stop such acts that harm the artists and Adore members and cause confusion to the public, but the defendants' illegal acts have continued until recently. Therefore, we can no longer ignore the damage to the artists and Adore members caused by such illegal acts, and are taking action.

    1. How can it always be HYBE’s fault? Maybe in every fandom there will be crazy fans, but it’s surprising that most of the fans in this fandom are like that


    2. When I look at NewJeans, all I can think of is their crazy fans


    3. The most famous fandom today


    4. They also blame HYBE there


    5. Are NewJeans fans just idiots?


    6. This fandom is becoming gangster


    7. What they do is beat other fandoms


    8. This is ADOR’s fault, why do they keep blaming HYBE?


    9. It’s easy for them to blame everything on HYBE


    10. They have crossed the line


    11. This is the first time I’ve seen a fandom make enemies like this in Korea and abroad


    12. They’re not fans, they’re antis


    13. They have no conscience


    14. The greatest fandom ever

    An official from Ador explained to JTBC today (the 15th), “We were offered the exhibition area attached to the entrance of the GRAMMY MUSEUM in March, but there was no wall there to properly hang photos or videos.” They decided that they could not properly display exhibits introducing Newjeans due to the location and size of the assigned space. This official also claimed that “we did not receive a proper explanation from HYBE regarding the overall composition of the exhibition.”


    Ador’s explanation is that they did not receive a proper explanation regarding which teams within HYBE would be participating, and ultimately decided not to participate in the exhibition.


    The HYBE side stated that this was “groundless.” A HYBE official claimed, “It is hard to see the exhibition space allocated to Newjeans as being neglected.”


    Regarding the composition of the exhibition, they also refuted, saying, “Many teams belonging to the HYBE label are participating in the exhibition, and it is up to each label to decide how to organize it within the given space,” and “They can reprocess and organize the exhibition within the given space.”


    The exhibition 'We Believe in Music' featuring artists affiliated with HYBE will be held from next month 2nd to September 15th in Los Angeles, USA. An 'immersive experience hall' will be established where you can vividly watch BTS' 'Butter' stage that they presented at the 2022 Grammy Awards, and a space will also be set up where you can follow the songs and dances of Seventeen, Tomorrow by Together, and others. Personal belongings such as books and instruments owned by HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk will also be exhibited. Michael Stika, CEO of the Grammy Museum, said in an interview with the Associated Press, "This is the largest exhibition we've ever planned. We'll dedicate an entire floor."

    “Not participating in the HYBE exhibition is in no way a sign of uncooperation. It’s because we decided that we couldn’t properly show what Newjeans can show.”


    An official from Ador told World Biz & Sports World on the 15th regarding Newjeans’ recent decision not to participate in the HYBE exhibition hosted by the Grammy Museum in the United States.


    The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, United States, is hosting an exhibition that will highlight the footsteps of HYBE and its artists. While HYBE’s major groups are participating, Newjeans’ name was not on the list, which became an issue. Some have brought up the internal strife between HYBE and Ador's CEO, Min Hee-jin.


    Despite the rumors that would have followed, the reason Ador declined to participate in this exhibition is because they decided that it would not be of any benefit to Newjeans.


    They also said that the exhibition planners must have known from the beginning that Newjeans would not have a large presence in this exhibition.


    An exhibition industry insider said, “If you think about content planning, out of the total at 100, BTS would take up 40, Bang Si-hyuk would take up 10, making up half of the total, and there’s also a large team called Seventeen. After these teams, the rest would have to be split up and divided up by other teams,” adding, “I don’t think Ador didn’t know this.”


    In this situation, it is also questionable that articles continue to come out with keywords such as 'non-cooperation' or 'discord'. Ador also said, "It is natural for BTS and Bang Si-hyuk, who created HYBE, to occupy good spots."


    However, they questioned whether Grammy suggested a 'good spot'. One media outlet reported that the Grammy Museum in LA in the US suggested to Ador in March that they would 'give the most important spot to Newjeans', but Ador's position was that 'the location was fatal because there was no wall where exhibits could be hung, and when we first received it from HYBE in March, we received only rough sketches, and there were many unclear details such as some teams not being applied'.


    CEO Min Hee-jin is an expert who has shown excellence in branding using offline spaces. This is something that HYBE and Chairman Bang Si-hyuk acknowledged when they entrusted them with the entire building-related project. The exhibition space that GRAMMY actually operates is also small. The third floor of the Grammy Museum is 8,000 square feet, or about 224 pyeong (?). According to the website, it can accommodate 250 people standing. It is not a large space to display the vast history and worldview of HYBE, which owns the largest K-pop label.


    Some analyze that although it is true that Newjeans is performing well on the US charts and gaining popularity, they may feel burdened because they have not been actively engaged in large-scale local activities such as participating in large-scale concerts or festivals.


    Ador has proven at Tokyo Dome that Newjeans' way is to make a strong impact on local fans in the most effective way after sufficient preparation
