Hello and welcome to another great edition of In Case You Missed It! This week, we saw new releases from artists such as IVE, Fantasy Boys, Leo/need and more! We also saw updates related to the second season of "Road To Kingdom", plus a few comeback announcements. Thankfully, the Min Heejin x HYBE scandal seems to have quieted down over the past week. But with an ADOR board meeting set for the 10th of May, we can expect to receive some updates soon! Now, with that said, let's jump into In Case You Missed It for another week!

MONDAY:
#1- The Min Heejin x HYBE news continued well into the week. The subsidiary shared that they would not be convening a board of directors meeting on the 30th of May despite HYBE — ADOR's major shareholder — requesting that the label hold one. As a result, it was shared that HYBE had pre-emptively filed a civil complaint against ADOR & scheduled a court hearing on the 30th of April to force an extraordinary shareholders meeting. The extraordinary shareholders meeting — as well as the upcoming board meeting — is required within 15 days of the initial court hearing. Then on Thursday, BigHit had an update in relation to the legal proceedings against the violation of the rights of HYBE's cash cow, BTS. The label shared that they had identified and compiled several posts related to the dissemination of false information and defamation against BTS. This reportedly includes posts that have since been deleted. The company also shared that they plan on moving forward with legal proceedings against anyone caught spreading false or libellous information against the artist. Stating that they offer a zero-tolerance policy with no leniency or settlement opportunities throughout the legal proceedings. To finish, the label apologised to A.R.M.Y members who may have been upset during the targeted hate over the past week. What are your thoughts on these developments?
