The ongoing feud between ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and HYBE has led to some interesting findings. It appears that Min Hee Jin tried to end the contracts of NewJeans members with HYBE.

Min Hee Jin is under fire for allegedly trying to take over ADOR in a hostile manner and looking for foreign investment to gain control of the company. She argues that HYBE unfairly copied NewJeans with the launch of ILLIT.

However, recently leaked KakaoTalk messages between ADOR’s Vice President and Min Hee Jin show that she had talked about ending NewJeans’ contracts about 10 days before ILLIT’s debut.

The Vice President told Min Hee Jin, “It’s 12.4 billion KRW (~9.11 million USD) for each person, and it’s expected to be 62 billion KRW (45.5 million USD) for all five” when discussing the cancellation of NewJeans members contracts under HYBE. He added, “But, according to the current shareholder agreement, any changes, terminations, or renewals of important contracts must be approved by the ADOR board of directors.”

Min Hee Jin replied, “Huh? NewJeans? It’s not that much.”

The Vice President responded, “Ah. I’m sorry, it’s actually 450 billion KRW to 620 billion KRW (~330.6 million USD to 445.5 million USD). No matter how much I think about it, the damage on our side would be too big if the members left. We would have to give up all our past albums, and all the contracts with brands are tied to ADOR.”

Netizens commented: “I don’t get why people defend HYBE, but I also don’t get why people defend Min Hee Jin, lol.” “Is this the original message?” “Wow… They’re sharing such a conversation on KakaoTalk without fear, they should use Telegram. Remember, if I hack into someone else’s KakaoTalk, they might hack into mine too. They must have been excited to read others’ KakaoTalk messages, lol.” “What does this Vice President do?” “After seeing this message, I can’t defend Min Hee Jin.” “It’s not wrong to calculate the number.”

On November 24, Zico celebrated the 10th anniversary of his solo debut with his concert, "ZICO LIVE: JOIN THE PARADE," at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. The event was filled with excitement as Zico performed for fans after a long time.

Zico kicked off the night with his hit songs like "New Thing" and warmly greeted the audience. He said, “It’s been so long. I missed you. A solo concert feels so different from other events. I’ve really missed being with you at a concert like this.”

He added, “‘Join the Parade’ is my first solo concert under my name in six years, so it’s very special to me. Plus, this year marks 10 years since my solo debut. My journey in music has felt like a parade, and tonight, I want to show you all of it in different parts.”

Zico thanked his fans, saying, “A parade always has spectators, and I think that’s its most important value. You are my wings, and I’m the body. Let’s fly together and make this the hottest place in the world tonight!”

The crowd erupted with cheers when Jennie unexpectedly joined Zico on stage during his performance of "Freak." Without any prior announcement, Jennie gave a brief but unforgettable performance, lighting up the stage before leaving just as suddenly.

After the show, Zico shared how surprised he was. “I didn’t know Jennie would come on stage. Suddenly, the music director told me through my in-ear monitor to stop singing, and I started imagining all kinds of things. Then Jennie appeared, and I was completely shocked. I even did a stage here that I hadn’t done at the MAMA Awards!”

This concert marked Zico’s first solo event in six years since his 2018 "King Of the Zungle" tour, making it a night to remember for fans. With Jennie's surprise appearance, it became even more unforgettable!
