This doesn't seem to explain or excuse the language she used about a sexual harassment victim though? She still said shitty things about... an employee under her care that was the victim of harassment.
Hence... manure
Let's be accurate. Alleged victim.
So people are moving the goal post from her covering up sexual harassment to her words are bad.
Display More[TV Daily Reporter Kim Jong-eun] Adore has explained the suspicions that CEO Min Hee-jin attempted to cover up an in-house sexual harassment incident. On
the 29th, Adore CEO Min Hee-jin's legal representative, Sejong Law Firm, stated through an official statement, "The sexual harassment case in question was already closed as 'not guilty' by the Hive Personnel Committee on March 16. Given that Hive directly handles legal, personnel, and public relations services, it is incomprehensible that they would reverse their own judgment and bring up this issue again, and it is unfair to suddenly interpret it differently in order to attack CEO Min Hee-jin." They
continued, "The meeting attended by the employee in question was a meeting created to understand work after taking office on February 1, and the employee in question agreed to attend. The meal at the time ended without a problem."
Representative Min also refuted the suspicion that he tried to cover up the incident by taking the side of the male executive who was believed to be the perpetrator in the sexual harassment case within the company. According to the conversation previously revealed by Dispatch, Representative Min was seen using harsh language and criticizing the female victim.
In response, they stated, "CEO Min Hee-jin listened to both sides' opinions in a balanced manner, tried to mediate the conflict, and faithfully performed her role in preventing similar issues from arisi ng in the future through cautions and warnings. At the same time, she made suggestions to Hive for better system operation, such as improving HR procedures and increasing transparency." They emphasized, "Using personal conversations in reports is not only an attack on the individuals and has nothing to do with the essence of the matter, but also clearly constitutes an illegal act of publicizing personal conversations to a third party."

So MHJ and the male executive went through the proper channels, and he was found not guilty.
My guess is MHJ thought it was a false accusation and she was venting in private conversation. I think that's understandable in the heat of the moment.
People keep talking about it like a regular comeback, but it was a strategy to break into the Japanese market. One city pop sounding song in Bubblegum, Newjack swing Supernatural sampling a Japanese song and Murakami for Right Now. The only odd one out is How Sweet, but it is like Ive's pepsi song. They probably did it for the endorsement money to fund the other songs.
By how the fan meeting turned out with the members getting some viral moments, I think it was a success as far as what they set out to do.
I do agree that it wasn't as big of a success with the international crowd, but it is a much more crowded field internationally compared to last year.
You can't even make a neutral comment on there without BTS/Hybe fans jumping down your throat. It is like downvote central.
You could leave a quality comment with sources, and they'll hyper analyze it and make false equivalency arguments. If you call them out on it, they'll divert the argument to what MHJ has done, and that somehow is enough to condone their own poor behavior. On the other hand, anything anti-MHJ is accepted as 100% true even if it is low quality and conspiratorial.
The worst are the megathreads. They chased out anyone that isn't remotely anti-mhj out of the megathreads.
I would have skipped the documentary until the next album is a success. In terms of PR, I think they are doing this backwards.
I hope their next album is a success, because I really like the direction that they were going. Easy is one of my favorite songs. Are they finally going to drop the song that they teased during Coachella?
Yes we all agree. MHJ concept is teenage school girl including the uniform.
And you have a weird obsession with pushing this narrative. I'm guessing it is projection.
K-PL has a weird obsession with teenage school girl including uniform. Always talking about the song Cookie.
See? I can do the same thing.
Seems like projection at this point. This is the brain rot I see on twitter. All roads lead to rome. He/she has a conclusion, and all facts are warped to fit that narrative.
No. They departed for Japan very early in the morning.

Its Cookie redux. Disgusting.
This is why I can't take you seriously sometimes.
Check the first video of the program. They do the interview on the bus.
It means the variety program picked them up from airport and they went straight to the Japanese school to perform at lunch or somewhere around that time.
You clearly got the hate goggles on coming up with conspiracies.
The school outfit is well loved in the KPOP community.
Screenshot_20240727_064215_Chrome~2.jpgAre you going to accuse Knowing bros of being problematic too, because they push thr school concept? K-PL This is such a lazy narrative to push about Newjeans and MHJ. It is part of their portfolio like all other kpop groups. Screenshot_20240727_064811_Chrome.jpg
So your saying that dressing a teenage school girls is their concept from MHJ. Yes. I agree 100%.

Did you watch the video I linked? They are wearing the same school outfit. They probably went straight towards the school for the program. This is such a reach.
It wasn't an issue until it was established MHJ was in charge of the group at the time when the weird videos was filmed. But MHJ content for a certain weird market segment is what it has always been, like recently dressing members in school girl outfits at airport departures, just like it was when she was in SM with f(x) and its 14 yr olds.
I don't know why people keep pushing this angle.
It wasn't anything nefarious. Newjeans dressed in schoolgirl outfits as a spoiler.
Part of their promotional activity was the secret transfer student.
It also maybe ties into Minji's Vaundy cover where she dresses in school uniform. According to her, she chose the outfit and song.
Apparently, MHJ Shaman ran away.
I want her services. She knew they were coming for her. which spirit tipped her off?
Display MoreWe also have PLENTY of examples of K-Pop CEOs specifically being total shit lords towards their idols and trainees IN PERSON.
JYP is seen as the "fan favorite" amongst the big company CEOs, but he has many many skeletons in his closet, and I've seen him reduce Itzy to tears while berating them in the studio.
And that's mild and what he was comfortable with putting on camera and presenting to the public.
Like...come on.
Go look at what the 50/50 girls had to deal with, according to their complaints, and realize some mean private messages are far, FAR from the worst of what we've seen from K-Pop executives.
I forgot what an asshole Steve Jobs was.
"“How old were you when you lost your virginity?" he asked. The candidate looked baffled. “What did you say?” “Are you a virgin?” Jobs asked. The candidate sat there flustered, so Jobs changed the subject. “How many times have you taken LSD?” Hertzfeld recalled, “The poor guy was turning varying shades of red, so I tried to change the subject and asked a straightforward technical question.” But when the candidate droned on in his response, Jobs broke in. “Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble,” he said, cracking up Smith and Hertzfeld. “I guess I’m not the right guy,” the poor man said as he got up to leave.
Isaacson asked Jobs' best friend Jony Ive what he thought. Here's his response:
I once asked him why he gets so mad about stuff. He said, "But I don't stay mad." He has this very childish ability to get really worked up about something, and it doesn't stay with him at all. But, there are other times, I think honestly, when he's very frustrated, and his way to achieve catharsis is to hurt somebody. And I think he feels he has a liberty and license to do that. The normal rules of social engagement, he feels, don't apply to him. Because of how very sensitive he is, he knows exactly how to efficiently and effectively hurt someone. And he does do that.
Display MoreI've run into tons of rich old people who talk way worse.
I don't know why so many people always act like adults are incapable of rancid, toxic behavior.
In my experiences, they can be even WORSE than kids because their horrible personalities have had so much time to bake in the oven and there's no fixing them.
At least kids still have hope.
I just have to google it. Have people been living under a rock about CEOs? In terms of work place behavior, this isn't even in the top 10 worst. Not by a long shot.
She's a middle aged woman taking about her staff and artists that way
Yes. If you notice, she used some of the same swear words and slangs in her 1st press conference. It unfortunately means that is how she communicates. It is baked in.
I don't think she deserve to be a CEO based on her decorum. Her elevation to the head of the company was a mistake, and she probably screwed herself out of any future opportunities as the head of a company. I'm all fine with that.
However, it is hard for me to discern if there is malice behind the choices in her words or if she just talks like this on default.
I don't know why everyone is shocked by her choice of words. Did you guys watch the 1st press conference? She was swearing every 30 seconds. She had to restrain herself to act professional in her 2nd press conference, yet she slipped up and used swear words.
She talks like an edgy Korean teen.
Feminist in Korea means something different compared to the West. Most Koreans do not like to call themselves feminists since there is a huge negative connotation attached to it. Koreans prefer egalitarianism.
It all went wrong when Korean feminists started to mirror the incel. Basically, they went down the path of an eye for an eye. In the process, they burned a lot of good will. In fact, 페미 has turned into a sort of an insult.

March 15th, 2024 - MHJ's response after a female employee reported executive A for sexual harassment.
A: "I'm looking for someone to give me legal advice."
M: "Go get some advice. Get some good advice and make her pay. I told them to get a third party involved but regulations won't allow it. What a load of bulls***."
A: "I'm sorry for making your worry. I'll handle it."
M: "No no. Make sure to f*** her life up that b****. And all this when I gave her a chance and taught her. She's guilty of making me feel like crap."
A: "From now on, I won't say a word to any female employees, even if it's to eat lunch."
M: "You never know which of them turns out to be a crazy b**** so don't ask any women."
A: "Yes yes."
M: "I seriously want to kill those feminists. They suck at their jobs and all they're good at is stuff like this. She'll pay for it. Trying to f*** up someone else's life. Not an ounce of guilt for the wrongs she did. If she did her job properly, I wouldn't be this mad."
M: "Liven up. You never know what crazy sh** happens in life. I feel bad for you, honestly. Getting wrapped up in this crazy sh**."
A: "No matter how many times I think it over in my head, I never did anything that could cause concerns. I never did anything that I would be embarrassed about in front of my family and children."
M: "Maybe we need to countersue her for false accusations."
MHJ stan obviously had known about this for a while, and are ok with it.
Nothing new here. It is another recreation of the Kakaotalk presented by Hybe at court. I believe the cyber wrecker Lee Jin Ho released the same thing. All of this was addressed at MHJ's press conference.
I think you are being disingenuous in how you frame it. Are people saying MHJ is a Saint or a good person? No. However, people are doing a cost-benefit analysis.
Has she been better or worse for Newjeans compared to Source Music? What have her actions told us? She got them out of debt as soon as possible. Gave them a large portion of the profits. She gave them better living and working conditions compared to before. She kept the parents in the loop unlike Source Music, who didn't let the kids meet their parents.
Yes, she shit talks in her Kakotalk, but she hasn't done anything to harm Newjeans and their parents.
The main project of the year is that album, hope the release will not be postponed to next year due to the 
he writes crap 101% of times
