”NewJeans” popularity is still strong, CEO Min Hee-jin's ”press conference”... Hybe in chaos

As the deep conflict between HYBE, led by Chairman Bang Si Hyuk, and ADORE's CEO Min Hee-jin was revealed, "NewJeans" released their new music amid such an uneasy situation.
On the 27th, NewJeans released the music video for their new song "Bubble Gum" on HYBE Lid Label's YouTube channel.
The music video, which was released as a preview ahead of their comeback in May, exceeded 10 million views in just one day after its release, becoming the No. 1 trending music video, and has been receiving positive feedback from fans.
Min Hee-jin, who is well known as the "mother of NewJeans," is accused of trying to seize management rights by making ADORE independent and of embezzlement.
Afterwards, she held an emergency press conference and claimed, "Rather, HYBE betrayed me and maliciously edited out everyday slander and jokes about the company to create a frame to suppress me."
In response, HYBE confirmed physical evidence that CEO Min Hee-jin had specifically conspired to seize management rights, and despite the extraordinary treatment, CEO Min Hee-jin repeatedly demanded independence in order to justify the management.
Although no legal decision has been reached yet on whether Min Hee-jin will be found guilty of embezzlement, K-pop fans both in Korea and abroad have been engaged in heated online debate for several days.
Following the criticism and criticism that was leveled at Min Hee-jin's unconventional attitude at the press conference, various memes and catchphrases were circulating.
Apart from this, the artists belonging to each of HYBE's labels are continuing their activities as planned, but the internal disputes have caused confusion and anxiety.
In particular, "LE SSERAFIM," which CEO Min Hee-jin mentioned while explaining the debut process of "New Jeans," could be said to be suffering from measles.
As the situation worsens, the opinions of the legal profession are also attracting attention. Attorney Lee Hyung-gon, a family court judge, posted a message on his SNS account that became a hot topic.
He said that the conditions for HYBE's breach of trust had not been met, and said, "Did CEO Min Hee-jin try to take over management rights of HYBE? If I had to say, I would say that she tried to make ADORE's management independent.
"I tried to do it, but is that a crime?" he said, defending Min Hee-jin. "The allegation that they tried to bring in investors to increase their stake is also a bit of a question of whether they could have done it or not, and I don't know why they could have backed out."
"I don't know if that will be the case. Hostile M&A is also legal. Will the company suffer losses if it accepts the investment?" he countered.
Rather, he said there was a possibility of HYBE and Chairman Bang Si Hyuk misconduct in their duties, and that "as the parent company and major shareholder,
The parent company is an independent and separate corporation with a different shareholder structure from the affiliated companies. Is it not considered a breach of trust for the parent company to take the trade secrets and know-how of the affiliated companies and inject them into other affiliated companies?
After that, Attorney Lee said, "I just posted my thoughts on social media, so I have to be more careful in the future," but added, "My thoughts haven't changed.
"If you look at HYBE's statement, they say that the embezzlement conspiracy was recorded in the company's meeting minutes and work log, so I think that's what's being discussed."
Regarding the KakaoTalk of Chairman Bang Si Hyuk regarding "aespa" that CEO Min Hee Jin revealed, "That is conclusive evidence"
"Is this the basis for the decision? I don't know what the difference is," he said, attracting attention.
