During a recent press conference, ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin faced questions from reporters. One reporter specifically asked about the emotional impact on BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT due to ongoing feuds and circulating rumors online.
Min Hee Jin responded candidly:
"I believe that NewJeans has also been hurt, and everyone has been affected by this. I am human too, right? One of our [ADOR] members made an impressive comment, saying, ‘It seems like people think Min Hee Jin is not human.’ But I am human, and so are others, including all the members.
Rather than singling out anyone, I want to emphasize that if we truly want to avoid causing harm—journalists included—we should refrain from discussing this matter altogether. Let’s stop mentioning it. The path to healing lies in compromise. We need open conversations and innovative solutions to move forward."
Netizens widely supported Min Hee Jin’s perspective, recognizing that the initial mention of BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT came from Korean media headlines, not directly from Min Hee Jin herself.
Reactions included:
"It’s unbelievable that some still try to divide the members and determine who suffered more. All those artists were hurt.”
“Are some journalists still biased toward HYBE?”
“For some, it’s not just about being ‘hurt’; it’s about reevaluating their entire careers.”
“NewJeans members have endured a lot during this ordeal.”
“Min Hee Jin isn’t the one who caused their pain.”
“Strange how journalists who used idols’ names are now doing the same to Min Hee Jin, trying to make her feel guilty.”
“This comment seems biased toward HYBE.”
“Why didn’t they ask about NewJeans’ well-being?”
“The fault lies with the companies, not the artists.”
“Why do people trust one side so quickly?”
