NewJeans Voices Distrust in HYBE Following Min Hee-jin’s Dismissal as CEO

“There were so many irrational things that we couldn’t understand even after our debut,” Haerin remarked during a surprising live broadcast of NewJeans on a newly created YouTube account, distinct from their official account, on the 11th. This revelation pertains to the trainee videos of NewJeans, released by Dispatch in July. “Our private data, including video clips and medical records from our trainee days, were made public. We were truly taken aback when we first saw it,” Haerin continued. “I couldn’t comprehend why a company that is supposed to protect us chose to expose such sensitive information instead of safeguarding it.”

“Naturally, we are concerned that incorrect data and false information could circulate in the future,” she added. “We have raised these issues with our parents and CEO Min, yet HYBE has not addressed them, and there has been a lack of proactive measures. In the meantime, the CEO has been dismissed, leaving us uncertain about who we can trust and rely on going forward.” Previously, on the 27th of last month, ADOR dismissed former CEO Min Hee-jin and appointed Kim Joo-young as the new CEO. Although ADOR stated that former CEO Min will continue to oversee the production of NewJeans as an in-house director, she has contested this, claiming she was unilaterally informed of her dismissal and that the terms of her business commission contract regarding her production role were unreasonable.
