Min’s response to the allegations has been pretty vague. In the midst of a heated K-Pop industry showdown, Min Hee Jin — the big boss of ADOR and a HYBE subsidiary — finds herself in the hot seat over serious claims of mishandling artist info.
After HYBE pointed fingers at her, Min has made some comments that kinda address the concerns but have left fans hungry for more clear-cut answers.
The claims suggest that Min Hee Jin, along with deputies only known as CEOs “A” and “B,” spilled important business and personal info to outsiders like foreign investment advisors and private equity firms.
This leak was reportedly part of a bigger plan to break away ADOR from HYBE and rally public support against the parent company by painting HYBE in a bad light.
Korean media reports also hint that the leaked info included private details about artists under HYBE’s wing, potentially putting their public image and personal safety at risk.
Reacting to the uproar, Min Hee Jin put out her own statement, naming ILLIT as the root cause of her ongoing beef with HYBE. In the statement, Min also kinda addresses the accusations against her.
HYBE is trying to smear Min Hee Jin’s name with absurd claims of trying to rip off HYBE. How can safeguarding NewJeans’ cultural achievements be seen as hurting Ador’s profits and mean that Min Hee Jin is trying to snatch Ador’s executive rights?
However, this statement hasn’t cut it for K-Pop fans, who are demanding a straight-up denial or admission regarding the data leakage accusations.
Some fans even argue that Min is using the plagiarism issue to dodge addressing the main accusations against her.
