NewJeans' Hani, Daniel, and Haerin sent a support message to former ADOR representative Min Hee-jin. Today (28th), Min Hee-jin uploaded the content of the messenger talk sent by Haerin to her own SNS. Haerin conveyed her impressions of the lecture to Min Hee-jin, saying, 'Wow, representative! It was very interesting! I was immersed in it alone with my earphones on, but I was able to understand more about the representative and further develop the thoughts I usually have.' Previously, Min Hee-jin gave a 134-minute lecture at '2024 HYUNDAI CARD DaVinci MOTEL' in Itaewon, Yongsan District, Seoul, on the night of the 27th. Recently dismissed from her position as ADOR's representative, she appeared as a speaker amidst conflicts over management rights with the parent company HYBE, attracting significant attention. HYBE proposed a compromise to maintain internal directors instead of allowing her return as CEO, which Min Hee-jin and NewJeans have not accepted. In response, Min Hee-jin exposed the process of HYBE's handling through an interview, while HYBE countered this as 'false claims.' The theme of the lecture was 'Creators Breaking K-POP Stereotypes, Min Hee-jin's Freestyle,' and Haerin left a supportive message after watching the lecture video. Haerin added, 'While watching the video, I felt my heart was full of something. I felt that the representative is really going to start a revolution. She has already changed many things, and this lecture was also a very meaningful time, and I was really glad.' In addition to Haerin's message, Min Hee-jin also shared support messages from Hani and Daniel. Before the lecture, Daniel conveyed, 'Representative! I am waiting to watch the live broadcast. We are all cheering hard for you. Fight!' Min Hee-jin responded with a blue heart emoji. Hani expressed her trust, saying, 'Representative, I wish you luck today! I believe you will do something wonderful.' She also shared fan art with the comment 'NEW JEANS NEVER DIE.' On the day of the lecture, Min Hee-jin appeared on stage in a black cap and jacket, candidly discussing her growth process and experiences from her time at SM Entertainment to her experiences with NewJeans at HYBE and ADOR. This lecture was her first official appearance since the two press conferences in April and May, gathering even more attention.
