What has transpired between BTS’ parent label HYBE and Newjeans’ agency ADOR?

K-pop entertainment industry is witnessing a major shakeup. Amid the ongoing big feud, Min Hee Jin was dismissed as the CEO of ADOR and she is not taking it silently.

A day after Min Hee Jin stepped down as the CEO of NewJeans’ agency ADOR, she revealed her plans to fight the ‘life and death’ battle against HYBE with all her might.

While HYBE maintained that Min Hee Jin was aware of her dismissal, the former ADOR CEO claimed that the decision of her removal was not discussed with her.

In an official statement, Min called her dismissal a violation of the shareholder contract and unlawful. Her legal representatives claimed that she was dismissed against her will and did not resign.

On August 27, ADOR made the announcement about Min Hee Jin’s resignation and Kim Joo Young’s appointment in her place. Despite her removal from the CEO position, Min Hee Jin will continue to be NewJeans’ in-house director.

For the unversed, HYBE is one of the biggest corporations in the Korean entertainment industry which houses BTS’ agency BigHit and a few more. ADOR on the other hand is a subsidiary agency under HYBE like BigHit.
