HYBE refutes CEO Min Hee-jin's claims again... ”Even making illegal and absurd excuses... Please be careful”

HYBE repeatedly refuted claims of illegal audits on the part of representative Min Hee Jin.

　On the afternoon of the 10th (today), HYBE issued an official statement, saying: "We would like to explain the official position of the representative Min Hee Jin. Representative Min Hee-jin is making wild claims, saying that 'it is legitimate to receive payment from the 'outside' for the work done by the 'inside' personnel in terms of efficiency and quality'. This is not a practice, but illegal", he stressed.

They continued, "If a flexible compensation system is necessary, it must be received by the company and legitimately paid out as an incentive. Representative Min claimed that the attempt to seize control was a 'joke, a private conversation', but this time he is claiming that it is illegal and a 'practice'. In a dialogue with the management of ADOR, the head of the team in question was asked about the mood of the head of the team "I think you made the advertising money all by yourself. You work without getting an assistant (assistant staff member) and you don't see this as a problem? In fact, when we agreed at the beginning, we had not yet thought seriously about this issue." This is the part where Representative Minh also revealed that he was fully aware of the problem that the work was done by company staff and the profits were privately obtained by the team leader.

　HYBE added: "At first, HYBE's HR team was suspicious about the fact that the incentive for the team leader in question had been set at 0 won in February this year, and they contacted ADOR, which recognised the matter. HYBE subsequently confirmed the circumstantial evidence found in the course of the audit and was able to ascertain that it was a serious act of discovery'.

　In an interview with the head of the ADOR team published in a certain media outlet, they said: "The audit, which took place on the evening of the 9th, was conducted in a completely non-coercive atmosphere, and the head of the team in question even voluntarily expressed his willingness to cooperate and submitted his laptop, which he kept at home. The company once again expresses its strong regret at the attitude of Representative Min, who put a team leader-level official, whose identity must be thoroughly protected, in front of them," he added.

　HYBE and Min Hee-jin's side again clashed during an audit conducted on the evening of the 9th last year. Min Hee Jin's side claimed that HYBE had conducted an illegal audit late at night while threatening the female team leader, and that not only was there no problem with the audit, but also that the team leader had received several hundred million won in money and goods from an outsourcing company over several years with the approval of Min Hee Jin's representative. The team leader was also found to have received money and goods in the order of hundreds of millions of won from subcontractors over a period of several years under the approval of representative Min Hee Jin.
