Min Hee-jin, former head of ADOR, has accused HYBE's top PR executives of dereliction of duty, stating they failed to promote NewJeans as required, causing serious harm to ADOR. She hopes they receive appropriate criminal punishment. This follows her resignation from ADOR's board on the 20th.

Min Hee-jin, former ADOR representative, will be a speaker at the 'Women Who Became Genres' talk concert on December 6. This event, co-organized by Hanwha General Insurance and fol:in, features women who have carved their own paths in the industry. The talk will focus on her experiences and insights into K-POP, especially after her resignation from ADOR.

As Min Hee-jin leaves ADOR, her team estimates NewJeans' contract penalty at 450-620 billion won. Legal experts suggest proving breach of contract may be difficult. NewJeans has demanded corrections from ADOR, including actions against HYBE staff, and may pursue contract termination if demands are unmet.

Min Heejin, former head of ADOR, has filed a lawsuit against BELIFT LAB's executives for defamation, claiming they spread false information. She seeks 5 billion won in damages and anticipates a counterclaim hearing in January. Min also resigned from her position and plans to pursue legal action against HYBE for contract violations.

Min announced her resignation, citing ongoing legal disputes with HYBE and the need to hold them accountable for violations. She emphasized her efforts to maintain the shareholder agreement and restore ADOR's previous state, but deemed further efforts futile due to HYBE's refusal to acknowledge their mistakes.

Min Hee-jin has announced her resignation from ADOR and has unfollowed NewJeans on social media. She plans to pursue legal action against HYBE, citing conflicts. Her recent Instagram post featuring a rabbit character and the song 'Free' suggests her desire for independence, indicating a prolonged dispute with HYBE and BELIFT LAB.
