ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin denies HYBE’s claims of takeover plans: “It’s HYBE that betrayed me”
nme.comKorea JoongAng Daily, the music executive said that she “was not expecting” the audit of ADOR launched by HYBE on Monday (April 22), claiming that she had initially made an “internal report [about the similarities between NewJeans and Belift Lab group ILLIT]” in hopes of it being “addressed formally by the company”.“My goal has always been to [do] my work in a clean, confident way.
That’s been my focus and it’s been difficult for me to talk about the things that interfered with my work,” Min added, while refuting HYBE’s claims that she tried to “hijack control” of ADOR. “As an employee, you complain about your job and your boss,” she said. “I’m not interested in taking control.”Min then addressed the alleged evidence of plans to take ownership of ADOR, claiming that the “conversations have been rid of the context of where they came from”.
The CEO’s lawyers also touched on HYBE’s announcement to file a breach of trust complaint against Min, saying that “there was no incident where Min tried to diminish the company value” and that “you cannot ‘plot’ to breach the trust.
This just doesn’t count as that”.Later, the ADOR CEO recalled the circumstances that led her to join HYBE (then Big Hit Entertainment) and how she believes the company “used me to the fullest and now wants to take me down because I don’t listen to them”.
