In the midst of escalating tensions between HYBE and its label ADOR, the mother of a NewJeans member, known only as Ms. A, voiced her concerns in a phone interview with Ilgan Sports. “It’s distressing that our email has led to this situation,” she lamented.

On April 25, the day of ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin’s press conference, Ms. A and two other NewJeans moms visited HYBE. “We hoped to mediate between HYBE and ADOR,” she shared.

HYBE CEO Park Ji-won arrived late to the meeting, and the mothers were shown evidence of CEO Min’s alleged wrongdoings.

The NewJeans parents had previously emailed ADOR about plagiarism concerns involving a new group from HYBE’s sub-label, Belift Lab.

Ms. A denied allegations that they were influenced by CEO Min to send the emails. “HYBE showed us messages from ADOR’s Vice President, which was shocking,” she revealed.

She also shared her confusion when friends mistook another group’s concept photos for NewJeans due to striking similarities. “We asked CEO Min about it,” she said.

Ms. A expressed disappointment over HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk’s lack of acknowledgment towards NewJeans. “One member even shared an elevator with him, but he didn’t respond to their greeting,” she disclosed.

HYBE personnel suggested that Chairman Bang might have face blindness. “But can’t he still hear? Wouldn’t you normally respond to a greeting even if you can’t recognize the person?” Ms. A pondered.

CEO Park assured the NewJeans parents that despite CEO Min’s absence, HYBE could manage the upcoming Tokyo Dome event. He also promised a long vacation for NewJeans afterwards.

“We made it clear to HYBE that we want NewJeans to continue with CEO Min,” Ms. A emphasized, expressing concerns about the group’s future without CEO Min.

A senior HYBE official clarified that a long vacation doesn’t mean a hiatus. “HYBE is committed to supporting NewJeans to become top artists,” the official stated, dismissing claims of a potential hiatus as a malicious play by CEO Min.

Regarding embezzlement allegations against CEO Min, the official said, “There is a lot of evidence, and everyone will understand HYBE’s sincerity when it is presented in court.”

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
