Yesterday (April 25), Min Hee-jin, the CEO of NewJeans agency ADOR, which is also a subsidiary of HYBE, held a press conference where she denied claims by HYBE that she planned to take over the K-pop label. The music executive also levied other accusations against the entertainment giant.
HYBE has since responded to Min’s press conference in a statement, per MyDaily and translated by Soompi, alleging that “so much [of what Min claimed during the press conference] is far from the truth to the point that it is difficult to go through them one by one”.
The entertainment giant also alleged that the ADOR CEO had “distorted the facts by mixing up the timeline”, while claiming that they “can refute all claims with evidence”. However, HYBE also stated that it has “decided not to mention them one by one as we judge that they are not worth responding to”.
In its statement, HYBE also urged Min to “resign promptly for the proper management of ADOR as she has already proven herself unfit to be in charge of management”.
HYBE statement is the latest in the growing feud between the entertainment giant and the management of ADOR. It first started on Monday (April 22) when the audit team of HYBE launched an investigation into ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and an unnamed executive of the company over alleged plans to takeover ownership of the K-pop agency.
In the following days, Min accused HYBE of “undermining” the success of K-pop girl group NewJeans by creating a copycat version of the quintet. Meanwhile, HYBE said that it will file a complaint against executives of K-pop agency ADOR over a breach of trust and other allegations.
