On August 1st, Min Hee-jin posted a photo of the letter on her personal channel, accompanied by a heart emoji.
Danielle wrote, “It’s already been two years! Our CEO, who worked the hardest! I’m really, really thankful. So much has happened during these short yet long two years, it feels like we’ve already gone through everything we would in seven years.”
She continued, “Our CEO, who has protected and taken care of us with all her strength, you’re like our mom and an amazing warrior. Every day is brighter and happier because of you. I love you, CEO. You are more sincere about your work than anyone else, and that sincerity truly moves people and brings happiness. I feel reassured and grateful to have such a cool and mature person like you by my side.”
Danielle also acknowledged the challenges Min Hee-jin faces, saying, “I know you go through countless difficulties that we’re unaware of every day, yet you always show us nothing but love. It breaks my heart and touches me deeply. You know that we’re always on your side, right? You are part of my family.”
She concluded the letter by expressing her commitment to Min Hee-jin, saying, “Whenever you need me, I’ll always run to you. No matter what path you choose, I want to walk it with you. Even if I can’t help much, I want to be by your side when things get tough. I pray for you, support you, love you and love you even more.“
Min Hee-jin has been embroiled in a public conflict with HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, since April. HYBE initiated an audit after discovering signs of a possible management rights takeover attempt of Min Hee-jin. Min Hee-jin held two emergency press conferences and remains in her position as ADOR CEO. Recently, another controversy arose when messages between Min Hee-jin and a shaman during NewJeans‘ trainee period were disclosed.
Amidst this ongoing conflict, Danielle’s letter of gratitude and support has become a hot topic online.
