”There's no reason why it has to be HYBE”... Min Hee-jin, CEO of ”NewJeans” who is suspected of trying to become independent, draws attention to her past remarks

"ADOR is a company established by Min Hee Jin to pursue her musical and business goals."
On the 22nd, HYBE announced that they will be releasing a new album for the label that represents "NewJeans" (MINJI, HANNI, DANIELLE, HAERIN, and HYEIN).
As the agency exercised its auditing authority over ADOR, K-pop fans are paying close attention to comments made by the company's CEO, Min Hee-jin, in a past interview.
In January, CEO Min gave an interview to Cine21, which led to K-pop fans trying to distinguish him from HYBE.
In the interview, CEO Min described himself as "someone who wants to beat Official."
Next, she will be working with producers from BANA, who are not the same producers HYBE has worked with in the past.
When asked why he entrusted the production of the song "New Jeans" to them, he replied, "The premise of the question, 'They're not HYBE's producers,' sounds strange."
In addition, CEO Min said, "There seem to be various misunderstandings because ADOR left as a subsidiary of HYBE.
"ADOR is a company that Min Hee Jin established to pursue the music and business that she aspires to," he emphasized. He also mentioned that when ADOR was established, they received an investment proposal from an outside source other than HYBE.
CEO Min said, "At the time, I had many options, and no matter where I invested, the 'creative independence' and 'no interference' clauses were my top priority, so there was no reason why it had to be HYBE.
She continued, "That may lead to the question, 'Why HYBE?' But to explain that, the results of this interview put me in a slightly different context.
"We are changing Hot Topic because it could lead to a scandal," HYBE said. On the same day, HYBE exercised its auditing powers against ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and executive A. In response, HYBE's auditing team
They visited the business premises of R's management, retrieved the company's computer assets, and attempted to secure face-to-face testimony. HYBE and ADOR, in order to take their own action, obtained HYBE's trade secrets and other information through Mr. A.
HYBE is also suspected of having received documents necessary for independence. HYBE has also sent a letter to ADOR's board of directors demanding the convening of a general shareholders' meeting and the resignation of CEO Min.
The deadline for the response to the audit questionnaire sent by BE to ADOR is the 23rd. HYBE plans to take legal action if necessary.
Meanwhile, NewJeans will release the title song "How Sweet" and the record "Bubble" on May 24th.
They will make a comeback with a double single that includes "B Gum".
The music video for "Ubble Gum" has been released with a preview. Attention is focused on whether this internal conflict will affect New Jeans' promotional plans.
