• Min Hee Jin Breaks Silence at First Public Event Since Leaving ADOR, Reveals Pain Over Lawsuit: 'I Hope This Ends Soon'

    Min Hee Jin, the former CEO of ADOR, made her first public appearance since stepping down from the company and shared her deep feelings about the ongoing legal battles with HYBE and ADOR.

    On December 6, Min attended the Hanwha General Insurance X Pollin Talk Concert titled 'Women Who Became Genres' at DreamPlus Gangnam in Seoul, where she took part in a one-hour talk session. During the event, Min opened up about the struggles she has faced since leaving ADOR.

    She shared, "Living with conviction isn’t easy, and I face a lot of attacks," adding, "When I’m attacked with made-up lies, I can't just keep saying 'this is a lie.' I have to live with the injustice. Only results and actions can prove the truth. If your words don’t match your actions, they lose meaning. Ultimately, work and results are what matter."

    Min left ADOR and stepped down from her position at HYBE on November 20. Since then, she has been fighting a legal battle against the companies and individuals involved.

    Talking about her situation, Min said, “It’s like a religious war. Even when I speak the truth, no one believes me. I’m in more pain than any of you right now." She continued, "People believe only what they want to believe. In time, though, everyone will understand who is telling the truth."

    Min also expressed her desire for the lawsuit to come to an end soon, stating, "I hope the lawsuit ends quickly, but time doesn’t move according to my will. I’m in so much pain, but I remind myself of why I started this fight. I focus on what I need to do now and in the future."

    Meanwhile, as Min continues her legal disputes with ADOR and HYBE, NewJeans, a popular group under ADOR, made headlines on November 28 by holding an emergency press conference to announce the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR.

    The group also showed their support for Min, leading ADOR to file a lawsuit over the validity of their exclusive contract with the group.
