Former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin has made her first public appearance since parting ways with HYBE. Min Hee Jin attended the 'Hanwha Insurance X POLIN Talk Concert', titled 'Women Who Have Become Genres', on December 6 at DreamPlus Gangnam in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
The 'Women Who Have Become Genres' talk concert is designed to share deep insights and experiences from women who have established their paths in society and found their true selves. Min Hee Jin delivered a lecture at 8 PM on the theme, 'Planner Min Hee Jin: Crossing Boundaries and Becoming a K-POP Genre'.
This event drew significant attention as it marked Min Hee Jin's first official appearance since her departure from HYBE. On November 20, Min announced her resignation from her position as an in-house director at ADOR, declaring her intent to take necessary legal actions against numerous illegal activities by HYBE and its affiliates.
Following her departure, NewJeans, the popular girl group under ADOR, also held a press conference on November 28, stating, "ADOR has neither the will nor the ability to protect NewJeans," and announced the termination of their exclusive contract with the agency as of midnight on November 29.
In response, Dispatch reported that Min Hee Jin had been involved in NewJeans' decision to leave ADOR. The report claimed that Min was aware of the group's live broadcasts and member Hanni's appearance at a parliamentary audit, and had even asked during a meeting with a company D representative, "Can I take NewJeans with me?"
Amid the controversy, Min Hee Jin's legal representative, law firm Sejong, announced on December 2 that they had filed a complaint against former HYBE CEO Park Ji Won, HYBE's Chief Public Relations Officer Park Tae Hee, and two Dispatch reporters for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.
The law firm stated, "Since April, Park Ji Won and Park Tae Hee have illegally obtained private conversations and added false information to shape negative public opinion about Min. Dispatch reporters Kim and Park, fully aware of this intent, continuously published false facts to defame Min Hee Jin."
However, Min Hee Jin's side has not clearly explained which parts of the reported articles were false, leaving questions unanswered. It remains to be seen whether Min Hee Jin will address and clarify the various allegations surrounding her during the talk concert.
