Min Hee Jin, former CEO of ADOR, is at risk of losing her residence after the property was seized. 

According to a TenAsia report on November 11th, Min received notification in September from the court about the provisional seizure of her house in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul, amounting to 1 billion KRW.

TenAsia confirmed that the creditor is A, a former ADOR employee who filed a complaint against Min in August through the Mapo Police Station for defamation and violating the Personal Information Protection Act. A also reported Min and ADOR’s deputy CEO, B, to the Seoul Western District Office of Employment and Labor for unfair labor practices and labor-related misconduct.

The property seizure follows A’s civil lawsuit against Min for 1 billion KRW, citing defamation due to false information. A legal source told TenAsia, “A is pursuing a civil damages lawsuit against Min. In civil claims, securing payment is crucial, which is why the property was seized,” they explained.

A provisional seizure is a legal process allowing a creditor to temporarily freeze a debtor’s assets to ensure payment. A reportedly took this action to facilitate future legal proceedings for compensation. 

If Min is found liable in the civil suit, she will need to compensate A, and failure to do so could result in the sale of the seized property.

Previously, A stirred controversy by revealing they were sexually harassed by Deputy CEO B at ADOR. A claimed that despite the incident, Min Hee Jin attempted to cover up the case by siding with B. This led to A’s accusations of defamation and secondary victimization, prompting the lawsuit.
