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.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
