Former ADOR CEO Min HeeJin has claimed that HYBE’s public relations officers downplayed the achievements of NewJeans, bringing a new twist to the situation.
On November 26, Sejong Law Firm, the legal representative for former CEO Min HeeJin, announced that they had filed a report with the Yongsan Police Station accusing HYBE’s Chief Communications Officer Park TaeHee and Public Relations Director Jo SungHoon of breach of duty.
Min HeeJin’s side claims that the two failed to fulfill their responsibilities as part of HYBE’s Shared Services PR organization. Despite being in a position to promote NewJeans on behalf of ADOR and receiving a fee for this, they allegedly downplayed the group’s achievements, causing significant harm. They added, “We hope that appropriate criminal penalties are imposed for their crimes.”
This case is part of a series of legal responses previously filed by former CEO Min HeeJin, including a defamation complaint against BELIFT LAB’s CEO Kim TaeHo and Deputy CEO Choi YoonHyuk.
The accusations are escalating the tensions between HYBE and ADOR, drawing significant attention to how future legal battles will unfold. The potential impact on the K-pop industry depending on the outcome is also being closely watched.
