On May 24, it was reported that producers and creators under HYBE submitted a petition criticizing Min Hee Jin.

According to insiders from the legal and entertainment sectors, the petition presented to the court features influential personalities such as Han Sung Soo from Pledis, renowned for overseeing Seventeen's groundbreaking 16 million album sales, and So Sung Jin, MP at Source Music, credited with producing LE SSERAFIM.

Furthermore, the petition lists key figures including Pdogg, the principal producer at Big Hit Music, Son Sung Deuk, the performance director, Kim Sung Hyun, serving as creative director for both BTS and LE SSERAFIM, and Slow Rabbit, the producer behind TXT. Chairman Bang's petition, which was partially revealed during a preliminary hearing, underscores personal grievances towards Min Hee Jin and underscores the significance of establishing precedents for the evolution of the K-pop industry and fostering creator-centered systems.

Following the reports, Seventeen fans have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction toward HYBE executives using their artists against Min Hee Jin.

With the growing anger of fans, Seventeen's S.Coups also took to Weverse and wrote a simple ":)" to which one fan replied, "Yeah, let's just laugh." S.Coup then responded with, "Yeah, let's just laugh... "

Korean netizens commented:

"S.Coups is the kind of leader who openly says that the members come before the company, lol. All the fans know what that means. Why are people who don't get it trying to cause trouble, lol?"

"I really like S.Coups. I cheer for him no matter what."

"I'm so annoyed with Pledis and HYBE. Why is Choi Seung Cheol (S.Coups) the one comforting fans again."

"Let's just laugh guys."

"Whenever something happens that shakes up the fandom, S.Coups always directly or indirectly addresses it to comfort us. We're saying that we're feeling reassured by him, please don't cause any trouble~"

"Fighting."

"He's comforting fans again."
