On April 25, the press conference led by Min Hee-jin addressing the ongoing HYBE-ADOR feud was held, quickly becoming the topic of conversation.
Before this, HYBE had already made public a number of pieces of evidence implicating Min Hee-jin, such as leaked messages detailing plans to split from the corporation, discussions about BTS’s military service, and seeking legal counsel to separate ADOR from HYBE. In addition, HYBE had also taken legal action against Min Hee-jin by filing a lawsuit.
During the lengthy press conference that lasted for more than 2 hours, Min Hee-jin made multiple allegations against HYBE, including sharing text messages between herself and HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk. She also disclosed messages from parents of NewJeans members who referred to HYBE officials as “despicable”, and mentioned several other artists such as aespa, BLACKPINK, GFriend, and more, despite their lack of connection to the situation.
As Min Hee-jin continued to make personal accusations, the CEO’s language became increasingly profane as he cursed at HYBE. Despite her lawyer’s attempts to stop him, the CEO continued, causing the lawyer to hold his head in frustration.
The image of the lawyer holding his head in despair quickly went viral on social media.
Undoubtedly, being a lawyer is a challenging occupation, and netizens showed sympathy towards this lawyer.
The lawyer was required to step in when Min Hee-jin claimed, “I have been a victim of a slave contract.”Additionally, when Min Hee-jin proudly announced, “Despite thinking my reputation was tarnished, I have received numerous investment offers,”the lawyer quickly clarified that this “investment”had no connection to Min Hee-jin’s allegations of attempting to take control of ADOR from HYBE Labels.
At the start of the press conference, there was a tense moment when Min Hee-jin reacted to the flashlights. The founder of “NewJeans”appeared at the venue looking visibly stressed, without makeup and dressed casually. The female CEO was clearly affected by the bright flashlights and even broke down in tears, pleading, “I’m not a celebrity, I cannot speak if you continue to take pictures like this.”This garnered a significant amount of attention and interaction.
Despite calming her nerves, Min Hee-jin proceeded to criticize HYBE and Bang Si-hyuk for more than 2 hours.
