Hello, this is Min Hee-jin.

Today, I am resigning from my position as an internal director at ADOR.

Additionally, I am terminating the shareholder agreement I had with HYBE and intend to hold HYBE legally accountable for its violations of the agreement.

Furthermore, I will be pursuing legal action step by step against HYBE and its affiliates for numerous illegal activities.

Over the past seven months, I have been engaged in a nightmarish dispute with HYBE that began with their illegal audits in April. During this time, I have done everything within my power to honor the shareholder agreement and restore ADOR to its original state before April. However, since HYBE has shown no signs of acknowledging their wrongdoing or changing their behavior, I have concluded that continuing my efforts would only be a waste of time.

I had hoped that HYBE would admit their mistakes and worked tirelessly to protect NewJeans from the distorted environment within the company. That was why I sent two whistleblowing emails in April.

However, HYBE not only failed to reflect on their actions but also fabricated outrageous falsehoods, showcasing their disgraceful and illegal audits to the public—a foolishness that is unprecedented. They framed me, a minority shareholder and CEO, as attempting a "management takeover" and launched irrational, ignorant, and nonsensical attacks that are unbecoming of a major corporation.

After enduring countless struggles over seven long months, it has finally been revealed that my whistleblowing was based on clear facts and was a rightful action. At the same time, HYBE’s despicable lies and hypocrisy are being exposed one after another.

From the beginning, HYBE likely knew that the contents of my whistleblowing were entirely true and that my actions were legitimate. However, for those who prioritize their own interests and gains above all else, solving the issue at its core was likely the most inconvenient task to face.

While I didn’t expect them to repent, I had naively believed they would have at least a basic sense of conscience as human beings. It seems I was mistaken.

Just as clinging to life doesn't necessarily mean truly living, I had no desire to align myself with this twisted organization driven solely by financial interests.

HYBE, even recently, continued their hypocritical and contradictory behavior—using its subsidiary labels to file baseless lawsuits and unfairly manipulate the media to bury me, while simultaneously presenting a producer delegation contract filled with toxic clauses as if they were doing me a great favor.

They proposed discussing the roles and responsibilities (R&R) essential to the delegation agreement but absurdly demanded pre-forensic consent and confidentiality agreements before such discussions, all while refusing to provide the R&R document itself. Despite having unilaterally removed me from my position, they spread false information to the media claiming I stepped down to focus on producing, while hypocritically insisting on “confidentiality” from others.

The atrocities committed by HYBE in 2024 will be remembered as an unprecedented scandal in K-pop history.

Over the past seven months, I have fought with everything I had—mentally, financially, and physically—to recover ADOR, which had been damaged due to HYBE’s severe violations of the shareholder agreement.

It was a hellish battle against groundless violence by a conglomerate hiding behind the facade of a major corporation, but I did not back down and persevered with unrelenting effort.

HYBE’s moral depravity has reached its peak, and while their dirty media tactics may continue, I believe the public has already begun to see through their patterns, so I am not concerned.

Nevertheless, if any forces attempt to falsely accuse or defame me, I will respond with firm legal action.

Although this unprecedented incident is not yet over, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Bunnies and everyone who has tirelessly supported and encouraged me throughout this nearly half-year-long ordeal.

Ironically, through this fight with the worst company, I have had the fortune to meet some of the best people.

Some may not understand why I endured this battle for so long, but there is a reason and meaning behind the existence of someone like me in this world.

I hope you will also show interest in the new K-pop journey I will embark on in the future.

I end this statement with a sense of relief, sharing these words:

"No industry’s essence should ever be tarnished by the malicious actions of an individual. What happened was truly wrong."​

Due to the content and nature of the management contract signed by Hanni, it is difficult to consider her as a worker under the Labor Standards Act, which provides work for wages in a use-subordination relationship.”​

It is difficult to see that there was a command and supervision of the management because it was only a relationship in which each other carried out their respective contractual obligations in the status of the contract parties to equal. The point that there is no fixed working hours or place of work and the commuting time cannot be determined. The point that each person bears the tax and pays business income tax, not earned income tax. The point that the in-house norms, system or system such as company employment rules applied to general employees is not applied.​
