On April 25th, ADOR's CEO Min Hee Jin held an emergency press conference at the Korea Conference Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul in response to the internal audit results that HYBE shared earlier on the same day.
The internal audit was launched after HYBE accused Min Hee Jin and other ADOR executives of colluding to take over the management rights of the sub-label ADOR in order to make it completely independent from HYBE. And according to the results, HYBE said that they found concrete proof over the accusations.
During the emergency press conference, Min Hee Jin shed tears after being asked about the members' reaction over the situation. The CEO said, "Members are having a hard time. We are comforting each other and they send me their love every day. Hanni keeps coming to where I am now. Haerin is usually like a cat and doesn't speak a lot, but she called me and told me that she couldn't come up with the words to text me. She said that she just wanted to hear my voice. Haerin cried for 20 whole minutes. She told me that she thanks me so much because I helped her through hard times. She said that she wants to tell everyone what happened. The members' mothers are so worried that I'm going to kill myself. But why would I? I'm going to say everything that I have in my heart. Do you know what Park Ji Won (HYBE CEO) said to the mothers? He said that he's not going to talk to them, just to ADOR. And they say that they care about NewJeans? I don't care whether they sue me for libel.”
Min Hee Jin's statements mentioning the members of NewJeans received divided opinions from South Korean netizens. On a local community site, a post about the statement garnered attention, with netizens commenting:
- No, Hyein. Please hold it in
- I have nothing to say..
- She's selling the members in the end
- NewJeans is on the side of Min Heejin?
- It's sad... The only ones affected are the members
- It looks like they'll leave together
- What should they do
- ㅋㅋ now it's really the endㅋㅋ
- Don't mention NewJeansㅋㅋ..
- She really doesn't want to leave alone
- She did a really great job gaslighting them
- If this happens, it's hard for the members to avoid it. Why did she say that
- Don't talk about NewJeansㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
- Oh, I know. I'm thinking this, too. Did you hear all the press conferences? You have to come out with HYBE
- The breach of duty imposed by Min Hee-jin on HYBE is breach of duty (the legal procedure is on its own)
- Oh... NewJeans..
- It's over
- She can't die alone, she'll end all of it
- They're children, but of course, they're on the side of someone they've been close to. But in this situation, I think it's right to save them as much as possible...
- Guys, Hyein is now 17 years old and she made her debut at 15 years old..
- She's just appealing to emotions. I saw the live show and I really don't understand why she's selling the kids
- MHJ shouldn't have mentioned the group
