NewJeans members' parents hire entertainment dispute lawyer

AKP STAFF

In the midst of the ongoing legal battle between HYBE and ADOR's CEO Min Hee-jin, the parents of the girl group NewJeans members have appointed entertainment dispute specialist, attorney Kang Jin-seok. The appointment, confirmed on May 19, comes in light of the approaching court date on May 14 concerning Min’s application for an injunction to prevent the exercise of voting rights.

Attorney Kang Jin-seok is known for handling numerous cases involving exclusive contract disputes in the entertainment industry. His expertise includes reviewing exclusive contracts, advising on terminations, litigating damages for breaches, and handling investment return lawsuits for entertainment companies, as outlined on his blog.

The NewJeans members' parents have submitted a petition through attorney Kang to the court. The petition reportedly expresses their desire to continue working with CEO Min Hee-jin. This development follows previous concerns raised by the parents to HYBE management regarding similarities between the concepts of NewJeans and another HYBE girl group, ILLIT.

Min Hee-jin has engaged law firm Sejong in her dispute with HYBE. Meanwhile, the possibility of the NewJeans members disputing their exclusive contracts with HYBE has also been hinted at by industry observers.

An emergency shareholders' meeting by ADOR, aimed at potentially replacing Min Hee-jin and other management figures, is scheduled for May 31. The court is expected to make a decision on the injunction before this meeting.

I feel like the parents are gonna have a harsh awakening and will come to regret entrusting the safety of their children to that woman.

One thing can be said for sure about this whole situation...it keeps getting messier. It feels like it can't be cleaned up whatsoever.
