Was Min Hee Jin preparing for the feud by winning over NewJeans' parents?

AKP STAFF

The news that HYBE has begun an audit against ADOR has been causing quite a stir in the Korean entertainment industry. The reason HYBE decided on the audit was that ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin had allegedly attempted to take over the management rights of the company.

To refute HYBE's accusations, Min Hee Jin argued the feud had begun when Belift Lab had "copied" NewJeans concept when launching the new girl group ILLIT. In a recent development, a news media outlet reported that it was NewJeans' parents who had initially raised the issue with the candid resemblance between NewJeans and ILLIT.

Amidst the current situation, posts from CEO Min Hee Jin's personal social media account about the NewJeans members and their parents are resurfacing and gaining attention. It seems that CEO Min and the NewJeans members had a bond that went beyond the typical relationship between an agency CEO and artists, sparking even greater interest.

In the past, CEO Min has shared various photos from her personal life, including moments spent with the NewJeans members, on her personal Instagram account. She has also posted excerpts from letters she received from the members' mothers, which have garnered attention.

At that time, the mothers expressed their gratitude to CEO Min with messages such as, "The connection between Minji, our family, and CEO Min feels like a true gift. Please maintain this wonderful relationship for a long time. We are always cheering for you," "Thank you for supporting them during their challenging parenting times," and "Thank you for raising the NewJeans members so well; I bow in gratitude once again."

Min Hee Jin posted about the pie Minji's mother made for her. She posted the photo on her Instagram expressing gratitude for the handmade pie.
 A letter sent by a NewJeans member's mother. The mother thanks Min Hee Jin for helping raise the girls. Min Hee Jin posted the letter adding "+Mothers💙" at the end.
 Minji's mother sent a birthday gift to Min Hee Jin with a handwritten letter. And refers to Min Hee Jin as "a rich older sister."
Min Hee Jin posted a drawing done by Hanni's younger cousins.

CEO Min appeared briefly on the December 2022 episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' featuring NewJeans, acknowledging her unique relationship with the members and sharing related stories firsthand.

At the time, CEO Min said, "I talk a lot with the members' parents, believing that understanding between us is key to getting along without any issues," and added, "They support me when I'm going through tough times." She also mentioned, "When I visited Hanni in Australia, her parents came to see me. Hanni and her younger sister and mother gave me pajamas that they all wear. They even referred to me as their 'Korean mom'."

groomers do this all the time.. they get close to the families of their prey to gain their trust so they can gain the ability to take over their children and brainwash them.. min hee jin is clearly doing this for her own personal benefit and even selling their information for her own gain as well
