• Bang Si Hyuk Dragged Into Min Hee Jin's Alleged Plans to Take NewJeans – Did She Really Call Him a 'Pig'?

    Controversy surrounds Min Hee Jin, the former CEO of ADOR, as new accusations about tampering and secret deals emerge.

    With Min repeatedly denying past claims, fans and investors alike are wondering: will she address these latest allegations, or will she stay silent?

    On January 7th, Park Jung Kyu, chairman of Davolink, made headlines by revealing explosive details through a media outlet.

    He claimed that in late August last year, Min discussed plans for a new company, investments, and fundraising with him'.

    However, he alleges Min lied about ever meeting him, causing damages like a drop in his company’s stock value.

    Park’s claims don’t stop there. According to him, a relative of a NewJeans member, referred to as “A,” approached him with a bold request for a 5 billion KRW investment in Min’s plans.

    The three reportedly met at Park’s home on September 30, 2022, where A allegedly proposed a deal: if Park acquired Davolink, Min would gain management rights.

    They also allegedly discussed raising additional funds to support entertainment ventures, with Park aiming to profit by selling shares.

    During these talks, Park claims Min expressed dissatisfaction with HYBE and its chairman, Bang Si Hyuk, even allegedly calling him derogatory names like “pig XX”.

    Min reportedly asked, “Do you think I can take NewJeans with me?” Park advised that for such a move, Min would first need to leave ADOR, which would devalue the company and create a chance to take NewJeans out.

    However, Park insists Min’s main goal was to secure investment rather than build a partnership. Their discussions ended without an agreement, but Park says he’s outraged that Min has denied ever meeting him.

    Min has previously called accusations of tampering and breach of duty “baseless.” But now that Park has gone public with his side of the story, the situation is heating up.

    Many are waiting to see how Min will respond to these serious allegations. Will she address them head-on, or will silence be her strategy again?
