A heated battle brews within the realms of HYBE as tensions escalate between Min Hee Jin, the CEO of ADOR, and the powerhouse label itself. In a dramatic turn of events, a fervent plea has surfaced, demanding Min Hee Jin's swift departure from HYBE.

Aptly titled "MIN HEE JIN Leave HYBE Company," the petition made its debut on the global petition platform Change.org on May 27.

The petitioner, going by the moniker ARMY Forever, seemingly a devoted fan backing the illustrious BTS, laid bare the motives behind igniting this digital uproar. "It has recently been revealed that a specific individual has been spreading false information about some groups like BTS, Ailee, and LE SSERAFIM and leading harassment campaigns," the petitioner elucidated, pointing fingers directly at Min Hee Jin.

A clarion call for a thorough inquiry into these allegations rang loud, coupled with demands for reparations for any harm inflicted upon the company and its artists due to Min's purported actions.

Not stopping there, the petitioner furnished translated articles shedding light on Min Hee Jin's alleged misdeeds, along with excerpts from KakaoTalk conversations between Min Hee Jin and a mysterious figure identified as 'A'. As the clock struck 7 PM on the same day, a staggering 21,702 signatures adorned the petition, with a lofty goal set at 25,000 fervent endorsements.

Furthermore, the comment section morphed into a battleground of opinions, with resounding cries for Min Hee Jin's resignation echoing through statements like "We don't want her near BTS" and "Vacate the 16th floor."

As the saga unfolds, stay tuned to allkpop for the latest developments on this gripping power struggle within HYBE!

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
