in a corporate setting, min heejin is doing everything wrong. there are procedures and processes that you use to file a complaint or grievance. you don't plot to leave the company and bad mouth it in public. in the first place, you asked for a big company to invest in you. that big company has 80% ownership, and you and your directors only have 20%. the investor has every right to protect its investment, and is within its rights to request for an audit. if the audit shows that min heejin acted in bad faith, no major investor in their right mind would ever want to work with her in her future ventures. and from a legal standpoint, it looks like min heejin's claims on "plagiarism" won't stand in court. it's intended to drum up public opinion on her side. it also seems she's on a reckless course to burn bridges. typical course of action of someone who got caught doing something underhanded. knowing she'll lose in the boardroom and in court, she'd rather destroy everyone else. in which case, she just destroyed her career in the korean entertainment industry. who'd want to work with somebody like her?

She did go through protocol by messaging them directly she is the CEO of Ador. She contacted both Bang PD and Be Lift CEO who are directly involved with ILL’IT voiced her concerns and was not responded to and then she escalated to the HYBE CEO and Even Scooter Braun. Which still no response. I would think if one of your conglomerates were voicing concerns you would try to fan the flames… but instead you release an Audit to the public that’s just shady as fuck.

Remember when BTS were accused of plagiarizing the school boy concept? Yup, I feel the same level of pettiness in her claims and she lashed out on minors??? Calling them copy-cats? Girl, what are you, a 10-year old?! You're a freaking adult! A CEO of the company! She's lost it. She has to go.

As a lawyer, I just want to highlight that at this point nothing we see from press releases, interviews, or news articles should be considered full & truthful account of what happened. Everyone should just take what they read or hear with a grain of salt. People need to understand that this could end up in a messy legal battle. No company will ever publicize everything they have against someone they are planning to sue because it will obviously jeopardize their case. With that said, I agree that the priority should be the well being of the idols who got dragged in this mess. Those who have been defending MHJ should be ashamed of themselves because MHJ was the first to drop names & contrary to her claim about caring for NWJNS she was the one who threw them under the bus. That was just unforgivable. A full grown adult, hiding behind the protection of teens. Shameless of her.

Forgot to mention that even the roles played by both MHJ & Bang Si-Hyuk are not clear on a legal perspective we should not be so quick to attribute fault to either… except for MHJ dragging her supposed children in the middle of the war & dragging other idols. (Yes i gotta say that again that was just deplorable) 1) most of more detailed allegations come from unnamed “insiders”. None of them are verified. 2) assuming they are true, they mostly state that the actions were done by MHJ right hand man. In court, that’s not enough to prove that she ordered him to do it. 3) Bang Si-Hyuk is NOT the CEO of Hybe anymore. The role of a chairman of the board of directors vs a ceo are very different. Normally, chairman of the board is not involved in the day to day operations of the company. Does this mean I personally think MHJ is innocent? Honestly, my gut says no based solely on how Hybe is acting, how careful they are in sharing details, and their reputation to take legal action with no nonsense. I think they have an impressive legal team. And they are ready to take her down legally.

the latter part is crazy childish for a lawyer cause it's obvious for people with a bit of a critical thinking mind to get that she is not aiming at idols but at the creative teams behind them, the people who create 80% of the content people consume. Min heejin left sm cause she was drained by that system and created ador with the admirable vision of reviving kpop and create an healthy working enviroment for people. She should be respected, now she is fighting for fairness in her field, for herself and her team. She cares about newjeans and she is doing what she think is best. Will she do everything in the best way? Probably not, but she is a person and people online like to dehumanize her cause it's easy to have a villain and play the role of a justice warrior, who cares about truth, for lazy people speculations are facts. From newjeans debut she has being defamed like crazy and it's surreal cause in kpop there has never been a ceo who created such a healthy environment for his team ( there are tons of interviews from people inside and outside ador). People are blinded by fanatism and cherry picking. I see only defaming words for her online and it's scary given how the majority of stuff online are speculations that many take as facts. She has my admiration, I followed her steps since 2014, I will be the first to step back if she proves to be a despicable person but until now she has being admirable.

They’re too young and inexperienced to defend themselves. I especially feel for ILLIT because they’re so new and already have so much hate thrown at them by k-pop stans about their vocal ability, pre-debut brand deals, allegations of payola, and for simply debuting under HYBE. There’s plenty of adult idols who wouldn’t be able to handle all that scrutiny and hate, so I can’t imagine how this feels for kids and just-barely adults. They entrusted their careers and care to these people and deserve so much better.

My fear is the influence that she has on the girls. The problem with the whole Kpop system is that artists are literally and perhaps forcefully kept in bubbles and with limited exposure to viewpoints that oppose the company agenda. She's had years to butter up the girls and their families, ensuring loyalty and support, which, if all this plays out poorly, will negatively impact the girls. And it'll be hard to be disloyal to someone who they think helped their short rise to popularity.

Can't see that happen under e.g. Big Hit Music. Seventeen also seems very aware. So is Zico and probably Boynextdoor But I'm not so sure about all other labels under HYBE. T & D tries but what the labels do is out of their hands.

For me, my point of view is BTS is the face of HYBE literally their face is on the front of the building, in posters. So they Min Heejin and the other adults in the room should have taken the high road that BTS always takes when dealing with these kinds of complaints. BTS was often blamed of taking this group or that group's concept, and they often said nothing. Like you pointed out later on they often had others actually use their Songs not even a concept (which is difficult not to copy), but actual Songs and yet they actually didn't say a word about it if it was such that legal had to get involved so be it neither BTS or Bang Shi Hyuk spoke about it openly. Min HeeJin wants public sentiment to be with her and that even sits badly with me because as you pointed out these girls on both groups are so young and neither has autonomy of their group so why bring in these girls into it. Even though we would like to believe that BTS has nothing to do with this BTS is HYBE and HYBE is BTS even though it is not structured that way that is how many people feel.

It's pure speculation at this point, but the possibility of MHJ passing information to SM to use for Taemin's album can't be dismissed; there are just too many similarities.

You made the most valid point in your closing statement. Why would someone in such an important position smear anyone? She may progress onto another job with another company and this does not look good on anyone's resume. How can you be trustworthy after this?

Very thoughtful analysis, as ever. Although he’s definitely not a child, I would also put Taehyung in the category of ‘people who should be protected from the fallout of this drama’. He’s currently serving his country and won’t be able to devote much time to protecting himself. The reason I say that is because he has already had a working relationship with Min Hee-jin for Layover which was in itself successful, and he seems to get on well with New Jeans. If there was any suggestion that she was trying to ‘poach’ Tae, or had offered him some kind of haven should his relationship with BigHit sour, I would expect BH/HYBE to react strongly. That would be an existential threat to BTS and extremely damaging to HYBE. I don’t think it’s a secret that Tae’s relationship with the company hasn’t always been plain sailing. None of what has come out so far indicates that was happening but whatever has happened can’t *just* be a squabble about concept copying.

@@nicoleloss7987 Tae owns roughly one-fifth of one percent of HYBE stock and categorically does not have any executive influence on the business and financial decision making of the company or its subsidiaries. His ‘voting rights’ are proportional to his stock holding, he is not a member of the board. His creative freedom within BigHit is not absolute, certainly as far as his membership of BTS goes.

Oh, I don't think we need to be concerned about any attempts to try and 'poach' V away from HYBE. Whatever he might have to say about his relationship with HYBE or Big Hit, he's not going to be lured away by this woman. As you say, he is rather close to New Jeans, so the way they're being treated by their CEO is going to earn his strong disapproval. The fact that she's dragging another HYBE group- ILLIT- through the mud isn't going to make things any better; he's had to live with too many assertions of copying and plagiarizing leveled against BTS to have any patience with that. And now that she's claiming BTS's success is all because Hitman Bang copied from one of MHJ's debut groups while she was still with SM is gonna be the nail in that coffin.

Thank you for your time and effort in explaining this.💜

Thank you, thank you. You've answered all my doubts. Let's hope that the girls, all of them, won't suffer, and keep enjoying their careers.

Yes! I heard about her statment later then all started bc I try to to get to much into this waves people opinions and see later how it looks, but when I heard what her statment was my first thought was "why you even bringing this girls in this why you talking about it. Mature statment would be simply saing that you didn't do it and you don't agree with whats goinig on abd you have yor worries and that's all. Then when I heard this part about Illit ( i'm not sure of name?) coping NJ, I was like "WTF women?". And I wonder if it is bc of BTS al I have look at this things like "stay strong do your thing and you will come of top if you ate geniue" that I couldn't believe that she was trowing this young girls under bus literally... And I agree I don't care what is going on there internally, who had what plan, but how she handled situation is big "NO". Not to say company can do audit when they feel its needed there isn't really need for reason. It can be simply to check if their assets are ok. But tgey had some tip off and did it. And she go and made drama bc yes it is buissnes taktic, one to take eyes from why the audit was done, and too to redirect public, but she did it in so bad taste... Ehh

I agree with you. Actually t's much worse because they're minors but to be honest I hate when any artist gets used as pawns in these corporate wars. They've worked so hard and have big dreams they should be focused on being creative and not have to be worrying about all the slimeballs in this business. Thanks for breaking it down.

Thank you for always bringing reason and common sense to these topics. It's hard to know exactly what's going and even more importantly why. It does seem uncool of MHJ to take so much credit for New Jeans; it does undercut their efforts and Bang PD didn't do that to BTS. But then again, he's a man and he may not have to make a big fuss for people to give him credit for the role he played. It's not always the same for women in the workplace. You don't always automatically get credit for what you do unless you stand up and proclaim it loudly. And then you are accused of being a narcissist. But in this case she's doing it at the expense of young women/girls when she could easily portray them as partners instead of puppets. It's really inexcusable (now that she's under fire) to use those same girls as cover by saying that she got their consent. No way girls between the ages of 16-20 fully understand the ramifications of what their agreeing to or how it could blow back on them if she mishandles the situation. I wholeheartedly agree let the adults fight but leave the kids out of it. And I also agree, everybody copies a success, not just in the entertainment world. The first people lining up to buy 1st gen iPhones... other phone manufacturers... guess why.

MHJbisza classic narcissist that press conference was a classic display of narcissistic manipulation. The attempted coup is about how she sees herself which will ALWAYS be the most important, the most creative and the most powerful. Once she dragged those kids into her mess at the press conference I was done. She wants to directly compete with HYBE but use HYBE’s money to do so. It’s unprofessional the way she went about it and in the end she’ll end up hurting herself and New Jeans.

Exactly, like David disc vlog said that new thing or a moove is something that everybody wants to have in there videos but if it's the same from the start to the end then it is totaly to copy. Same in music you can hear bits that is so out of another persons song but what I know about this metod is that it ain't forbidden to do so you can use some minutes of the same from another song but not from the start to the end. And with k pop today when it's too many snd too much coming out what else can you have if not much of the same. Everyone wants to be like the hig stars so they copy or atleast try to be kinda same vibe to see if they can get 1 step closer to the stars

I love this content. Great explanation. Thank you for this. New follower here. Wonhee was already getting hate. I feel so sad for them. In the side of new jeans, they should talk to their parents. The bigger victims are Illit as they do not have the fan group to defend them. It is a big statement that Illit is doing well now.

Once again I salute you for this thought provoking piece. Thank you for your valuable insight. For me it's the timing of this accusations, the TIMING. Just when the "Boycott Hybe" chorus has reached a crescendo, now this! How cOnVeNiEnT. We didn't need anymore bad publicity. Like you pointed out this lady is not new in this game. She has many years of experience and has climbed up the ranks to position of CEO. Clearly she's a very intelligent & successful businesswoman who couldnt have come this far by chance or favour. She worked hard to earn her spot and get her skin in the game. So my query is: why cause chaos at this point in her career? Why does she want to risk it all? Very poor judgement imo - Not for confronting Hybe about her suspicions, but in HOW she did it. Just seems so misguided on her part. It's giving arrogance & recklessness; Please calm down and humble yourself ma'am 😒

This is complete speculation on my part, so don't take it as anything but an attempt to put things together logically... We know that Taemin's 'Guilty' album bore a very strong resemblance to V's 'Layover' album. We know that MHJ worked with V, and that she is a former SM employee. I speculate that HYBE was as interested in this 'coincidence' as everyone else was, and quietly did some investigating into the situation. And it's very likely that all the commentary about 'copying' and 'plagiarizing' put her on the defensive. HYBE's investigation- and there was one, of some sort, because information has been collected and assembled- led to them requesting her to step down. Going from that, I conclude that all this commotion is her effort to reverse the charge, so to speak; to insist that no, she didn't copy from one of HYBE's most beloved and popular artists: rather, HYBE (and others) are copying from her. I think we're at the point now where she's made her lies too big and doesn't know when to stop doubling down. Last night (midday in Korea) there was new info on her claims. Now she's claiming that not only did ILLIT copy from New Jeans, the boy-group RIIZE did too. AND she's moved to a more outrageous claim: she's saying that Bang Sihyuk's success with BTS is because he copied one of HER debuted groups while she was still with SM.

Similarly BLACKPINK too was asked about it several times. Jisoo said that someone has to overtake for the world to move on, they won't be forever, and they're supportive of when it does Lisa said that it's natural for someone else to take their place and they'll be happy if even one person is thinking of them and their music 50years later.

You can’t deny that Elite is a complete copy from Newjeans 😂😜 Even blind can see that 💀🌚

There seems to be a two problems. One is the unsucessful negotiation of her contract to change the non compete clause. The other is the plagerism issue. Min Hee Jin has a definitive style that she has sucessfully introduced and reintroduced over her career. Hybe hired her because of that success in the past. However, if she feels that it can not only be duplicated, but duplicated with great sucess, it dilutes her worth as a creative in the marketplace. Why would an outside investor or future employer be interested in her if anyone can produce great results using the same formula? I understand this feeling and it should have been addressed and taken seriously by Hybe. The kind of friction that could and has occurred between labels has to be considered poor management. What matters is her intentions. Hybe has suggested that she wanted to part ways even before Illet's debut. That she was secretly working with others at Ador to find ways to make that happen including ruining the reputation of the company to gain the upper hand in negotiating her and New Jeans' departure. If that's true, and there is evidence to support that claim, then the situation is most likely beyond an inhouse negotiation and will need to be determined by a court of law. If it's not true, then Hybe has made a gross error escalating a situation that has cost many people, both inside and outside the agency, unnecessary heartbreak and loss. There has already been damage to reputations, financial losses and most importantly damage to the mental health of young people who put their trust in adults to protect and guide them and who have done the complete opposite.

Thank you so much, that helps a lot. I feel so sorry for the young artists. It all sounds desperate, petty, catty and abysmal strategy when facing a huge corporation. Audits are not fun but a necessary and integral part of big business. If proven everything is in order, it's good PR. If not, investors will feel protected by new measures being taken. Burning bridges, attacking right and left, running to the press with accusations rather than a legal team sounds reckless, unprofessional and a career stopper. Putting herself forward as the mastermind behind all successes isn't in line with the gentle humility Koreans favor. Involving minors and artists into the fight could turn them into collateral damage. It highlights Bang Si Yuk even more as a golden standard. It reinforces the stereotype that the industry is filled with greed, exploitation and abuse, inviting Kpop fans to become responsible consumers.

I have a serious question. If new jeans gets really bad press from this can be lose ambassadorships before the end of the contract

Very well made video that explains this situation very objectively and well!

I agree. Thank you for speaking up for the girls and minors. I love that you suggested the proper wording when speaking with the press / I cannot say anything more because minors are involved. Simple. It is like Suga’s response to ?s of plagiarism. Our Company is looking into this. We will wait for their response.

Every boy and girl group out there is going to “copy” the same successful business model. That’s where better songs, better choreography, and innovation will let some rise to the top. It sounds like market value has gone flat when you claim someone is copying your idea. A marketing idea is hard to copyright. I agree she is just pulling in the young girls because they have some sense of loyalty towards her.

(That's the reason for the abnormal group concept management. I think new jeans activities will be restricted in the future.)

The artists - especially the younger ones - are not at fault for anything.

Illit may have LOOKED like NJs at first take and had the same music genre, But it's still very hard to make a song a lot of people like So I don't understand why it would be made into as big of a deal as it is Because everything was planned and made separately. Unless Min Heejin is using it to hide her crimes her outburst makes less sense. Esp cuz she did more than half of what she accused them of.

I’m Army, I’m not a kpop fan...I don’t pay attention to any other group. I tried to check them out but I don’t even get to finish a video because I don’t like the kpop sound and I find most bands sound the same and look the same to me...choreo, style of clothes, settings all very similar. When new jeans came on the scene they were a breath of fresh air. Their sound was different! They seem like authentic girls of their age...they were naturally beautiful and very talented. So they became the other group from Korea that I paid attention to. Loved seeing their interaction with BTS. I heard all these bad things about mhj but didn’t pay attention to them. I thought she did a great job at creating this group and has been treating them well. I was looking forward to their comeback! What’s happening now is very sad for the girls. They don’t deserve this. But now I am starting to believe that MHJ is truly problematic for them because she is focusing on the wrong things. Let’s say she is making all this noise because of ILLIT...the best strategy for her is to just show a better product with their comeback. I checked out Illit’s video and I thought their sound was just like typical kpop gg...except with aesthetics that are similar to NJ. They didn’t wow me at all. MHJ having a hissy fit over this group tells me that she Is not confident about their comeback. Her response is very suspect...I also hope that the girls will be kept out of this. But in the end I think this is the end for MHJ in the HYBE organization. The question is...what will NJ do? I think Sticking with HYBE is the best for them...Specially if all the supporting staff stays. Hoping for the best for them in this situation...

MHJ is a total risk-taker and its just a direct action when some of your conglomerates will not attend to your concerns. When I say risk-taker win or loss you're still winning by voicing out your thoughts. And this is not easy especially if you're a woman to do this.

Good luck MHJ I heard bad things about honestly but now i understand that you can really burst if not given a fair share of what you're doin.

Your POV make sense. With due respect even if the members are minors or "young agers" they must have parents behind them in the legal perspective so maybe they sided with Mhj who knows.

I think she had purpose when she applied to hybe to be ceo, from a big 3 company SM they want the downfall of hybe especially big hit and especially BTS. Too bad to her.

😅😅😅😅Yes....kdrama time! It never ends well for the culprit or ine trying to be underhanded! She should have renegotiate her contract, though she's not new to the industry so should have negotiated a better deal upfront if she's feeling cheated..but she needed Hype money and visibility...with one young group she's overly confident and will be her own demise!💜

There's too much word salad in this situation and we should just wait to see what happens.

Exactly, it's kinda off that she always incorporate herself with everything. Every achievement, her name needs to be brought up, to the point where sometimes, it's unecessary. It seems like she wants to have the attention as well. Should've debuted as a soloist then.

Protect the girls from all the messy things happening

I worried for the all the girls being thrown into this drama. They all have been working so hard. Hybe is the main company that should know better and should do a better job protecting their artist and preventing all the dirty laundry from getting out. MHJ, sounds unprofessional but she is still under Hybe. Don’t know what their intention is to let it all out for the world to add their two cents.

Regarding the question: "Is HYBE favoring BELiftLab?"...All I can add to that is BELiftLab is co-owned by HYBE and Netmarble. Netmarble was founded by Bang Jun hyuk, a relative of BangPD. This whole thing is one big mess and I hope all is revealed. I do get the impression that HYBE chooses to work with people based on what they can bring to the table. If they have a history of being problematic they have an opportunity to prove their critics wrong. The smart one will do it, the ones with ill-intent will show you what your already suspected.

Knetz now started to realise Hybe and BSH are the one who plotted the plan to bully MHJ and separate her from NJ, but the details are twisted mostly due to misinterpreted info from lost in translations, cultural nuances, perhaps media play from the big corporation. Bang persuaded MHJ to forget SM and create a MHJ girl group, promised it will be Hybe first girl group as well as freedom and independence in both creativity and operations. He then changed his mind and started to intervened, he recruited Sakura and Chaewon without informing MHJ while she has chosen the girls who are supposed to debut as NJ. If you were MHJ, how would you tell NJ parents that they can't debut just because of that? That's why she tries to create another label ADOR, Bang still disagree and do not allowed them to promote NJ, unless he could own 100% shares of ADOR. After few months, MHJ compromised and let him takes up all the shares just so NJ can be debuted, only after le sserafim has made it as the first girl group from Hybe. (NJ has no debut documentary, no debut showcase, no teaser, they just uploaded the MV) BTW, Hybe and Bang also disagreed on NJ songs like Attention and Hype Boy thinking it will not be a hit. Although MHJ owns 20% of ADOR shares now, Hybe made it seems like a reward for NJ's success, but MHJ actually paid for those shares with her money, which turned into a trap and slave contract. When she was trying to talk about it in the press con, the lawyers had to stopp her to avoid lawsuit due to non-disclosure terms from Hybe. In fact, 5% of the given shares is restricted to sell without Hybe's permission, and tied to unfair non-compete terms which means she won't be able to work in similar industry in the future as long as she holds that 5% shares (even when she resigned or leave Hybe/ADOR) When she seeks clarification from Hybe, they put her off, so she was trying to seeks help from external experts, and HYBE accused her for violating the non-disclosures terms. Mhj started off as a designer and it says alot when her concept and branding stands out among the competitive kpop market, and how her arts, visuals, concepts and branding values to her, but Bang purposely guided and participated in the debut of Illit, using the girls like a product/tool to beat/replace NJ, cause they are trying to get rid of MHJ.

@@nomnom9896 understood. Though I'd like to point out one of the parts i.e NJs debuting with no teaser/trailer, both BSH and MHJ agreed on it previously, they were even boasting about it that it was Hyein's idea to be unique I remember Blackpink's debut was just the same and considering what Min Heejin said in NJ's predebut interview they followed their strategy rather than it being a negative response from Hybe. Rest of it, pretty believable. The moment BSH made Hybe he went on to do absolutely everything he can with money. Money that's BTS' Shitty to see him paying for achievements with the money 7 men worked their ass of to earn. BSH is too deep in greed to turn back

Honey, they understand the whole language better, on native level. What are you talking about? Of course they understand more!!!

Genuine question: How is Big Hit Music a private company when they answer to HYBE and when HYBE stock prices goes up and down with news about BTS….?

Big Hit is technically under the HYBE 'umbrella', but Big Hit makes decisions about Big Hit groups' content and training, Pledis makes decisions about Pledis content and training, etc. HYBE stock rises and falls with BTS because BTS was the founding group that everything else rests on; stock also rises and falls with other groups, but not to the extent that it does with BTS.

That’s exactly what MHJ is doing😅

In my opinion; all the "things" that happens to SM is the reason HB take her in.. HB don't trust her fully, it's like a game .. What's she get is her compensation, but she wants more.. HB rejected it because "who are you in the 1st place" ... Now she wants to play the SM card,, like girl ... It's BH , different name but the same gang..

OMG! How many times had Michael Jackson been copied?

I think Hybe intentionally copy her work but how she go about it is just not okay.

We all (the outside WORLD) knew that BANG PD/BH the one who found these OT7 - train OT7 to becomes the B T S.. this women just trying to bring down HYBE & Bang PD, she know all about the rules in corporation/operation. Bang PD needed to relized that be careful with whom he try to put someone to hold position in the industry [cs Bh now getting bigger or Bang PD wanted/ made it BIG]

BeLift & Papa Bear could've picked other concept for a girlgroup - so many choices within the K-pop realm that's proven to be successful. But why did they choose the concept that's very similar to NJ? Because they already have the "formula" from NJ/MHJ, and see how this formula works and profits them. It's almost like having two NJs (business-wise). I think that's why MHJ said the things she said about plagiarism. Because it happens within their internal "holding company/label" where creative ideas been discussed and shared (MHJ & Papa Bear).

@@blossom6693 Tbh I like illit because their music is dreamy, clean-sounded, just like why I like NJ. I don't necessarily think they're copycat. I'm saying I get the mhj's pov about it being similar. Because many people responding like they thought it was NJ when teasers and Magnetic was released. I saw those responses too all over the social media. I wouldn't respond to it as "dramatic" as mhj if I was in her shoes, but I wasn't the one working hard for NJ so yeah it's her take on it.

But didn’t MH make a private grievance to HYBE. Now the whole thing is public because Hybe have made the audit public to the media so inevitably the groups themselves are now dragged in. Surely she has a right to defend herself publicly and she can’t do that without revealing her original grievance. It could have been handled internally but Hybe have made it all public. Seems a bit ingenuous to not take it into consideration. It’s reported that Ador could never have realistically achieved this plan that Hybe are accusing her of. And MH has been in the industry long enough to not be stupid enough to attempt this. You are treating all the Hybe info coming through the media as truth. But is it? Also do you expect a company under the Hybe umbrella to copy or plagiarise a sister company’s group. Wouldn’t you be a bit Lee Ed and wouldn’t you raise it with HYBe - privately as she did. I don’t think the audit was leaked. It seemed to have been pretty obvious that the audit was happening. We need to leave BTS out of this; they’re not involved. You say that you are just trying to answer people’s questions but you seem to favour Hybe’s version of events. It’s sad to drag the girls into this but once the audit was public it was inevitable to both Hybe and MH are guilty of that. Hybe employed her initially and brand director so they clearly valued her expertise and then they created Ador and made her CEO. She went public in order to defend herself so it would be pretty impossible to not do that without mentioning why she has an issue with Hybe and Belift. Thank you for doing this video but I assume your opinions are just that and you’re not placing yourself as an expert on all this. The only people that know what is going on are Hybe and Ador themselves. It’s a shame it couldn’t all have been kept private than creating a media storm. It’s not so long ago that people literally died because the media and or the public authorities let information be misrepresented causing personal and emotional pain to those involved. God forbid that this should happen again.

I think she is rather loud. Dispatch reported insider information and that is when people found out about the audit. Seems also like she is accussing not only Illit but everyone.

1st question Why they debut minor???? Minor and their parents know what idol be like ,and they willing to do this.

bruhh I stan newjeans but if they sided with Min Heejin, they better go to school because no investor will trusts them after this. regardless if true or not, the fact that MHJ doesn't have a problem airing all that to media is a red flag to investors. just right now, investors are wary if giving freedom and independence to subsidiaries is the way to go so they want the parent to control all the subsidiaries all because of this.
