Min Hee Jin has shared her thoughts on the emotional toll on BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT.

During a recent press conference, ADOR's CEO Min Hee Jin stepped into the spotlight to field questions from reporters. One reporter asked what she thought of the way "the members of BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT had their feelings hurt amid ongoing feuds and circulating rumors online." 

To this question, Min Hee Jin offered a candid response:

"I believe that NewJeans has also been hurt, and that everyone has been affected by this. I am human too, right? One of our [ADOR] members made an impressive comment, saying, 'It seems like people think Min Hee Jin is not human.' But I am human, and so are others, and all the members are human too.

Instead of addressing a specific person, I want to say that if we really want to avoid hurting anyone—journalists included—we need to stop talking about this matter altogether. If we are thinking about them, we should stop mentioning anything about it. What is needed to heal the wounds is compromise. We need to have conversations and find new ways to move forward."

Netizens widely agreed with Min Hee Jin's remarks, noting that the mention of BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT was initially stirred by headlines in Korean media, not by Min Hee Jin herself.

Reactions included:

"I can't believe some people are still trying to split up those members and decide who was hurt more. All those kids were hurt."

"LOL are some of those journalists still siding with HYBE?"

"For some, it was less about being 'hurt' and more about rethinking their entire career process."

"I think NewJeans members have suffered the most during this ordeal."

"Who really hurt them though? It wasn't Min Hee Jin herself."

"How sad that the same journalists who used those idols' names are now doing it again to Min Hee Jin, trying to make her feel guilty to get some answer out of her."

"Whoa, this was such a HYBE-biased comment."

"Why weren't they asking about how NewJeans was doing and feeling?"

"It's not the artists' fault. It's the companies' fault."
