Source Music, part of the entertainment company HYBE, has pushed back against claims made by Min Hee Jin, CEO of ADOR. On July 23, Source Music released a statement on their official SNS, saying, "Min Hee Jin’s statement today includes false claims about Source Music. We need to set the record straight."

They added, "CEO Min’s claim that we copied her launch strategy is not true. We never copied any strategy from Min Hee Jin, who was the CBO at the time. We also never received any complaints about this."

Source Music clarified, "In May 2020, Chairman Bang Si Hyuk suggested that Min Hee Jin, then CBO, should develop her launch strategy with a 'new team' for her own label, not N Team. Even though CEO Min knows about these discussions, she is misrepresenting them to suggest that Chairman Bang intended for her strategy to be used with N Team."

Dispatch had reported that CEO Min was involved in the branding for N Team's debut, which included NewJeans members as Source Music trainees. However, Min reportedly extended her influence to focus on NewJeans' debut, causing delays in N Team’s debut schedule.

In response, CEO Min’s team argued, "The article is based on speculation and false facts. We will take strong legal action." They also claimed, "The idea that N Team’s debut was delayed due to CEO Min’s actions is completely false," and provided emails and a timeline to support their position.

As Source Music counters CEO Min’s claims, the dispute between the two parties continues. Source Music stated, "CEO Min is spreading false information about us. In addition to the damage compensation lawsuit we previously filed, we will take further legal action. We are ready to share any materials needed to reveal the truth."

On July 15, Source Music revealed that they had filed a lawsuit seeking several billion won in damages against CEO Min. Although the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, it is known that Source Music is seeking around 500 million won for defamation, business interference, and damages caused by CEO Min.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
