Current occasions in Korea actually drive dwelling simply how insignificant leisure updates may be, and attributable to the continued mourning interval, the suitable dearth of updates to come back exhibits as a lot.
On that heavy observe, I did promise you guys I’d compensate for the HYBE/ADOR case (which is now not a HYBE/ADOR case, however I digress) as a result of clearly it’s nonetheless an enormous story and I’ve been slacking in post-World Collection orgasmic bliss (and being lazy), so right here we’re.
Let’s go.
======
Okay, earlier than all hell broke unfastened over Thanksgiving, there have been additional lawsuit filings revealed. ILLIT’s inventive director Serian Heu sued former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin (and different ADOR execs) over the plagiarism row. Min Hee Jin then sued BELIFT LAB CEO Kim Tae Ho, Deputy CEO Choi Yoon Hyuk, Artistic Director Serian Heu, and vocal coach Lee Ka Jun for defamation, in addition to BELIFT itself. She additionally filed a felony grievance towards HYBE Chief Public Relations Officer Park Tae Hee and Public Relations Room Chief Cho Sung Hoon on the costs of breach {of professional} obligation, apparently relating to the incident of a recording of HYBE PR getting out.
Lot of lawsuits there and extra to come back.

After Thanksgiving, in early December, Dispatch did an expose on Min Hee Jin. It begins by recapping the disparaging feedback she made about NewJeans, then strikes on to saying she knew about the stay broadcast by the members and spoke by means of them, publishing texts she made to NewJeans relations about it. I believe most individuals figured that was the case, however the texts Dispatch revealed reportedly verify it.
Dispatch then speculates that Min Hee Jin knew Hanni would seem on the audit.
The evening earlier than the audit on October 8, 2024, Dispatch caught Hanni visiting Min Hee Jin’s studio. Dispatch claimed that the authorized paperwork wielded in hand by Hanni had been prone to be a summons from the officers because of the audit, main Dispatch to consider that she had a chat with Min Hee Jin the evening earlier than the audit.
Speculative, but additionally wouldn’t shock anyone, I believe. The purpose is probably going extra to determine a sample of Min Hee Jin utilizing them to talk herself.
Arguably essentially the most related disclose to the courtroom case is the allegation that Min Hee Jin has hyperlinks to firm DAVOLINK by means of Hyein‘s uncle. This had been speculated earlier than, however Min Hee Jin denied any connection, however Dispatch studies she met with them on the finish of September and has photos.
Based on Dispatch, B requested A if A might make investments round 5 billion KRW, and so they reportedly mentioned numerous issues for 3 hours. Two days after the assembly, on October 2, Davolink introduced plans to nominate new administrators. Nevertheless, Min Hee-jin later denied any contact with Davolink. Subsequently, A eliminated B from the proposed record of administrators.
Commenting on the scenario, A said, “They immediately got here to my home, saying they wished to satisfy. And but they declare there was no contact in any respect? Their lies brought about the inventory value to plummet by 50% in a brief interval. It’s completely absurd.”
It’s related as a result of it brings up suspicions of tampering if it’s proven to be true.
Dispatch shut with texts from Min Hee Jin, displaying her allegedly attempting to make use of sexual means on a HYBE govt to curry favor.
- “I flirted closely with [redacted] LOL.”
- “I made him come nearer saying I couldn’t hear him, sitting nearer to him.”
- “I believe I could make him completely fall for me if I simply sleep with him as soon as…”
- “It’s not that I need to foyer utilizing my physique, but when sleeping with him will make issues simpler, then I can.”
The shaman additionally comes again into play right here, as Dispatch says she casted love spells on 4-5 males in her quest to safe NewJeans. I assume that is principally revealed to discredit Min Hee Jin additional, although it struck me a bit bizarre to make use of after coming by means of with a tampering connection that would really be critical and related. The shaman returning is a good day for shitposters, although.
In response to this, Min Hee Jin filed costs towards former HYBE CEO Park Ji Gained and HYBE CPO Park Tae Hee for principally unlawful privateness violations and manipulation, additionally charging Dispatch reporters Kim Ji Ho and Park Hye Jin for defamation. Moreover, the NewJeans fandom filed complaints towards HYBE, Supply Music, and Dispatch for illegally leaking private info and defamation.

Later, ADOR’s remedy of NewJeans’ employees got here to the forefront, because the group alluded to the corporate harassing their employees. A present employees member spoke to the information concerning the scenario.
They bothered the efficiency director and different employees with pointless, frequent conferences, and bullied them. They requested the managers for his or her private telephones. They even compelled them to remain within the workplace for greater than three hours, not permitting them to go dwelling.
ADOR responded to the allegations by clarifying that the confrontation was really a couple of supervisor attempting to bypass the corporate to barter a take care of the advertiser and the group.
Lately, an worker accountable for artist administration immediately contacted an advertiser, bypassing the corporate, and tried to facilitate a direct contract between the artist and the model. The supervisor has admitted to participating on this communication. This constitutes a critical breach of firm coverage, because it assists in violating the artist’s unique contract.
They go on to say they weren’t capable of collect proof from the laptop computer after it was recovered attributable to it being formatted however say they are going to take authorized motion.
Apparently, this was relating to Danielle’s current advert with OMEGA.

Actually unsure how that works out, however the advert continues to be up and the corporate doesn’t appear too care a lot concerning the mess. I assume that both obtained hashed out behind the scenes or will change relying on the place the authorized stuff falls.
======
Talking of, persevering with a current development, I don’t have a ton to say right here that I haven’t already stated, as I’m actually prepared for issues to start out getting hashed out legally. I believe that’s comprehensible given how a lot of the information updates ARE about submitting ever-increasing lawsuits. Additionally most likely simply fatigue and I’m prepared for a brand new 12 months to start out. I might encourage folks to be regular in discussing it, however these are persistently among the least regular threads on the location (together with ones which might be 99% about dongs and cum), so everyone knows we’ve crossed the occasion horizon on that.
