Min Hee-jin Faces Backlash from Netizens After HYBE Requests Resignation

It has been reported on April 22 that HYBE has sent a letter to ADOR, the agency representing NewJeans, requesting the resignation of CEO Min Hee-jin. This request comes as a result of HYBE’s investigation into Min Hee-jin and another executive at ADOR.

It has been reported that an investigation has been launched by HYBE against ADOR following allegations that an executive leaked confidential documents and trade secrets necessary for ADOR’s autonomy from HYBE.

A discussion on Min Hee-jin’s actions was recently posted on the Korean forum “theqoo”, and it has already gained over 70,000 views and 1,000 comments in just 2 hours.

Many internet users were confused by Min Hee-jin’s behavior, with some even labeling her as “ungrateful.”This is due to the fact that HYBE has granted the producer complete creative control over ADOR’s highly valued artist, NewJeans.

Here are a few remarks from internet users:

NewJeans wouldn’t be as popular without HYBE, so their actions are unacceptable
She receives money from HYBE and acts like this? What is going on?
People’s greed really knows no limits huh
Min Hee-jin is ungrateful even after receiving all the money
She’s getting drunk on NewJeans’ success
I’m worried about NewJeans now… Without Min Hee-jin, who’s going to plan for their upcoming album?
