In a move that has set fans' hearts racing, YG Entertainment has filed a new trademark that bears a striking resemblance to their latest girl group, BABYMONSTER.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to connect the dots, speculating that the trademark could potentially serve as the official name for BABYMONSTER's fan club.

However, fan reactions were divided. While some embraced the possibility, seeing it as a fitting moniker, others expressed reservations, finding the name less appealing.

But the intrigue doesn't end there. Some fans proposed an alternative theory, suggesting that "MONstiez" could be the branding for an upcoming merchandise line associated with BABYMONSTER.

Drawing parallels to TREASURE's popular LINE FRIENDS characters, TRUZ, this idea adds another layer of excitement for fans eagerly awaiting new releases from the group.

In related news, BABYMONSTER recently treated fans to a captivating performance video of their B-side track "Like That," further fueling anticipation for their upcoming activities.

As speculation swirls and excitement mounts, fans eagerly await official confirmation from YG Entertainment regarding the trademark's purpose and its connection to BABYMONSTER.

The legal battle between former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and a former ADOR employee, known as "A", is still far from over.

On May 26, the Seoul Western District Court’s 21st Civil Division will hold the second hearing in a damages lawsuit filed by A. The lawsuit demands about 100 million KRW (approximately $73,000 USD) from Min Hee Jin.

This all began in August of last year when A accused Min Hee Jin of defamation and violating personal information laws, and filed both criminal and civil complaints.

A claims they experienced workplace bullying and sexual harassment by ADOR’s former deputy CEO, "B", and said that Min Hee Jin, who was the CEO at the time, tried to cover it up instead of taking action.

Min Hee Jin strongly denied the claims. She responded by releasing private chat logs between her and A, along with an 18-page written statement defending her position.

Back in January, both sides joined a court-led mediation session in an attempt to settle the civil case. A’s side said they would consider settling if Min Hee Jin apologized.

However, Min Hee Jin's side declined, firmly stating, “We cannot admit to any of the claims,” and the talks broke down.

During the first hearing in March, the court told both parties to organize their arguments and submit their opinions on the evidence, which the court will now review in the upcoming second hearing.

The case has drawn attention as it involves serious accusations and one of the most high-profile figures in the K-pop industry.
