ADOR's Min Hijin clarifies claim of BTS copying themselves, expressing frustration with HYBE's response.

ADOR's representative, Min Hijin, who is in conflict with HYBE, clarified the suspicion that "BTS copied themselves" reported in some places. On the CBS Radio show "Kim Hyung-jong's News Show" broadcast in Korea today (26th), Min Hijin, who had just finished a press conference, appeared. On this day, Kim Hyung-jong said, "In addition to the story that Min Hijin, the representative, said that the rookie girl group ILLIT copied NewJeans, there is also an article saying 'BTS also copied me'." In response, Representative Min said, "It is written there that I talked in that sense, but I'm sorry, but I don't want to mention such things. I don't know how they wrote it and understood my intention, but I didn't say that." She said, "If you answer the question sheet 'Isn't NewJeans ultimately based on Y2K style?', I think it would be easier to understand a little more," and said, "It was created based on the Y2K sensibility of the early 2000s, but why is this considered unique to NewJeans? I think the point is different. I'm not saying I'm great, or that only our things are the best. Even if you say it's a characteristic of contemporary culture, there are various sources that have come out before. We are living in an era of collaging, combining, and recreating such things with our own personalities. It's difficult to say it's absolutely mine. It's not a simple perspective, but such formulas are similar." She continued, "In terms of appearance and atmosphere, I thought there might be a problem. This is my opinion, but I raised the issue because there were such points." She emphasized, "Even so, we (NewJeans) became a group that became a topic with a different image from the girl groups that debuted in the past, but it's inevitable that it will become 'conventionalized.' However, there are degrees. There are perspectives like 'this is okay, this has crossed the line,' etc. That's why I looked at various things and raised objections. I didn't think that this objection was necessarily only for us." Then she said, "It's possible to talk about someone imitating me in private conversations. If I feel that way, I might say it. I've said it many times, but there is context to it, and that context is not understood just by KakaoTalk. There is a situation at that time. Depending on the situation I'm in, it can be expressed nicely if I'm in a slightly good mood, and it can be expressed even worse if I'm in a bad mood. Isn't that human?" Yesterday (25th), she held an emergency press conference and expressed her frustration with HYBE. After the press conference, HYBE released an official statement, saying, "What Representative Min Hijin claimed at the press conference contains so many untrue contents that it is difficult to list them one by one. Representative Min obscured the point of contention by blurring the perspective and publicly announced distorted facts with her own eccentric interpretation. We can refute all claims with evidence, but we have decided not to address each one because it is not worth responding." In response, Representative Min said, "I also want to return the same words." When asked why HYBE publicly opposed Representative Min, she replied, "To destroy me? It feels like they want to make me someone who can't be believed no matter what I say." Furthermore, when asked why HYBE had to treat Representative Min that way, she revealed, "I don't know either. Maybe they don't like me as a person, or there may be various reasons." She also said that NewJeans' comeback content will be released soon and expressed, "I don't understand why HYBE caused this commotion now." ・ADOR Min Hijin Representative, Message with HYBE Bang Si-hyuk Chairman Released "aespa, can you defeat them?" ・ADOR Min Hijin Representative, Reveals the background of NewJeans' birth...
