Min Hee-jin Called “Ungrateful” by Netizens after Requested to Resign by HYBE 

On April 22, it is reported that HYBE has sent a letter requesting CEO Min Hee-jin of NewJeans’ agency, ADOR, to resign. This action is a response to the label’s investigation against Min Hee-jin and another ADOR executive. 

It is known that HYBE has initiated an audit on ADOR after accusations of an executive leaking confidential documents and trade secrets necessary for ADOR’s independence from HYBE.

A topic regarding Min Hee-jin’s action has since been published on the Korean forum “theqoo”, attracting over 70,000 views and 1,000 comments within just 2 hours. 

Most netizens were perplexed by the actions of Min Hee-jin, even calling her “ungrateful” as HYBE has given the producer full creative reign over ADOR’s prized artist, NewJeans. 

Below are some comments from netizens: 

• NewJeans wouldn’t be as popular without HYBE, so their actions are unacceptable
• She receives money from HYBE and act like this? What the hell?
• People’s greed really knows no limits huh
• Min Hee-jin is ungrateful even after receiving all the money
• She’s getting drunk on NewJeans’ success
• I’m worried about NewJeans now… Without Min Hee-jin, who’s going to plan for their upcoming album?
