Adore Reveals Timeline On 'Newzins Member Robbery'Reconstructed False Facts, Legal Action'  (Full Story)



Representative Min Hee-jin completely refuted the allegation that he took the New Jeans members from Source Music.

On the 23rd, Odor said, "The content of the article covered in the report is a false fact reconstructed based on speculation and will take a hard legal action against it."The contents of the report, such as internal minutes, division of duties, and personal KakaoTalk contents, cannot be handled without the cooperation of Hive and Source Music's coverage and the delivery of false information, he said."

"It is a breach of contract and a serious felony to expose the personal information of trainees who have already been terminated and artists who have moved their current affiliations to the public without permission, to relevant data including medical details, and to leak various data that infringe confidentiality such as demos," he said. "The trainee contract between Source Music and Newzins members has already ended, and the contract does not allow the use of the trainee's portrait, voice, etc. Therefore, I would like to inform you that Source Music's release of the trainee video through the media is a very serious illegal act that violates the portrait rights of the members of Newzins and ask them to immediately take action to protect the artist" he said.



He added, `We will take strong legal action against Hive, who provided reports and materials that slandered the CEO of the subsidiary, such as leaking illegally acquired messenger conversations between individuals without permission and falsely editing them as they intended, and criticizing the immoral behavior beyond the patheticness of the media that published them.'

In addition, he released an email in 2021 that revealed the situation at the time, saying, "'It is very different from the actual fact that the N team's debut was postponed without promise due to CEO Min Hee-jin's sidelines.'"



The CBO office PT data in the e-mail was called the 'N'Team/'21 Team' in 2020, and explained that the PT data was made by Min Hee-jin, who was working as a CBO at the time, and that it took place at a time when there were many differences in the concept of a new girl group team, which was a three-way collaboration at the time.

In March 2020, the Big Hit marketing team proposed the launching strategy of '21 Team', but CEO Min decided that the direction of the content was not correct and prepared his own launching strategy separately. In response to CEO Min's announcement of the launching strategy, Chairman Bang Si-hyuk said, `Hee-jin's PT plan is quite good, but it is unconventional (I described it as it was at the time). It seems difficult to realize it with Source Music's infrastructure, so it would be better to proceed with it under CEO Min Hee-jin's label" received an answer.



However, he added that Newzins' launch strategy, which was difficult to implement at Source Music, was copied by Source Music and was being discussed again, and each company's R&R discussion and production timeline discussions were inevitably difficult.

Along with the explanation, Odor said "I simply don't understand Hive, who is making false and fabricated even though there are so many existing materials and witnesses at the time, and the parents and members who went through it are the witnessesIt is also a serious crime to forensics a laptop without the consent of its members, but it is a bigger crime to store personal conversations on the company's server. The numerous unconventional media plays and responses currently being committed by Hive have led to serious, angry and action being taken by the legal representatives of Adore and Newgens."

Finally, as the entire article is based on false information, I would like to reiterate that the fabrication of the entire facts and timeline by distorting the entire facts is a serious defamation and obstruction of business for the representatives of Odor, Newzins and Min Hee-jin, and Hive executives warn that they will stop unnecessary persecution of subsidiaries as soon as possible, not cause unnecessary disputes, and actively cooperate with police investigations while committing no further illegal activities" he said.

Meanwhile, the Dispatch reported that CEO Min, who participated in the Hive's first girl group N Team project as a branding leader, demanded several times to increase his authority, and when he accepted it, he delayed the N Team's debut by not delivering the final data and delaying the meeting. In the end, CEO Min transferred the N team from Source Music to Adore, which included Minji and Hani, who were trainees of Source Music, Hye-in, who was selected by CEO So Sung-jin of Source Music, and Harin and Daniel, who transferred from other agencies to Source Music. In the process, Min had a close conversation with K, a shaman, and moved on his advice. When selecting the debut group, he sent the photo himself and asked questions such as 'Did I put on a ghost?' and said that he used tens of millions of won in the name of prayer and goodby.

▶ Full text of Doror's position

Hello, I'm Audor.

Here's where Odor stands on an article reported by Dispatch today.

The content of the article covered in the report is a falsehood reconstructed based on speculation and will take a tough legal action against it.

The contents of the report include internal minutes, division of work, and personal Kakao Talk contents, which cannot be handled without Hive and Source Music's cooperation in reporting and the delivery of false information.

In particular, it is a breach of contract and a severe felony to expose the personal information of trainees who have already ended their contracts and artists who have moved their current affiliations to the public without permission and to leak related materials, including medical details, and multiple data that infringe on confidentiality, including demos.

The trainee contract between Source Music and Newzins members has already ended, and there is no content in the contract that allows the use of the trainee's portrait, voice, etc. Therefore, I would like to inform you that Source Music's release of the trainee video through the media is a very serious illegal act that violates the portrait rights of the members of Newzins and ask them to take action immediately to protect the artist.

In addition, strong legal action will be taken against Hive, who provided reports and materials slandering the CEO of the subsidiary, such as leaking illegally acquired messenger conversations between individuals without permission and falsely editing them as they intended, and criticizing the immoral behavior beyond the patheticness of the media that wrote them.

Contrary to the dispatch article, the fact that the N team's debut was postponed without promise due to CEO Min Hee-jin's bystander is very different from the actual fact.

Therefore, to correct the fabricated content, we will release an email for 2021 that will let you know what was going on at the time.

The CBO office PT data in this e-mail was called the 'N'Team/'21 Team' in 2020, and it was created by Min Hee-jin, CEO of the CBO at the time, and it is a situation where there were many differences in the concept of a new girl group team, which was a three-way collaboration at the time.

The timeline is like this.

1) In March 2020, Big Hit Marketing Team proposed the launching strategy for the '2021 Team'

→ However, CEO Min Hee-jin, who was the creative general manager at the time, judged that the direction of the content was not correct, so CEO Min Hee-jin prepared his own launching strategy separately

2) Announcement of Min Hee-jin's launching strategy in May 2020 (Bang Si-hyuk, So Sung-jin, Source Music representative, etc. attended as it was a three-way joint venture)

→ Chairman Bang Si-hyuk: Hee-jin's PT plan is quite good, but it is unconventional (I described it as it was expressed at the time.) It seems difficult to realize with Source Music's infrastructure, so it would be better to proceed with Min Hee-jin's label

3) Source Music re-proposed a prior plan in August, 2020

→ I copied a large part of CEO Min Hee-jin's launching strategy in May

→ I complained to Source Music and Sowonjin, and I acknowledged that

As in the e-mail, Newzins' launch strategy, which was difficult to implement at Source Music, was copied by Source Music and discussed again, and each company's R&R discussion and production timeline were inevitably difficult.

The CBO office at the time did not receive a reply to that email.

I disclose it because sharing official mail that everyone shared at the time is much more accurate to understand the context and decide disputes, not the squeezing data provided by Hive who makes false claims.

At that time, Audor can prove more content with additional data enough to have Slack conversations or KakaoTalk conversations between people involved, but we believe it may be inappropriate to disclose personal conversations, so we only disclose e-mails first.

As such, I simply don't understand Hive, who has a lot of existing data and witnesses at the time, and whose parents and members have gone through it are the witnesses who are making false and fabricated.

In particular, it is deplorable that the very next day he committed this illegality, even though he and his Newzins legal representative clearly warned sternly about the serious illegality yet to be disclosed to the public by Hive PR just yesterday.

In May, Hive Law sent a proof to CEO Min Hee-jin that he should not disclose the personal KakaoTalk conversation he had with Chairman Bang Si-hyuk and CEO Park Ji-won. Nevertheless, why does Audor commit such senseless acts.

CEO Min Hee-jin reset the above laptop three years ago and returned it to Hive, which is strongly believed to have forensically restored personal conversations. This is a serious crime and illegal act that corresponds to content detection such as electronic records.

However, Hive is making an excuse that Kakao Talk conversations were stored on the Hive cloud server, saying that he did not do forensics. However, this is a more serious problem. Hive is a serious crime and illegal act that constitutes a violation of the Communication Secret Protection Act and a violation of the Information and Communication Network Act (secret infringement) by collecting personal conversations on a regular basis and storing them on his server.

These acts of Hive are anti-constitutional acts that seriously violate freedom of privacy and freedom of communication.

CEO Min Hee-jin of Audor has already submitted a laptop to the police to completely resolve doubts that he does not have to submit because he is owned by Audor.

And for a transparent investigation, CEO Min Hee-jin asked the police to retrieve the laptop owned by Hive and investigate it.

However, Hive has not submitted the data to the police, saying it is stored on the company's server/cloud, not laptop forensics.

Forensics without membership is also a felony, but having personal conversations stored on a company's server is a bigger crime.

Separately, if there is truly data on the server, you will have to faithfully respond to the police's request for cooperation.

Adore and Newzins' legal representatives are serious, angry and seeking action over the numerous unconventional media plays and responses that Hive is currently committing.

Since the entire article was written based on false information, I would like to reiterate that the fabrication of the entire facts and timeline by distorting the entire facts and timeline is a serious defamation and obstruction of business for all of Odor, Newzins, and Min Hee-jin. Hive management warns that they will stop unnecessary persecution of subsidiaries as soon as possible, do not cause unnecessary disputes, cooperate actively with police investigations, and do not commit any more illegal activities.

Please realize that this is a responsibility and obligation for your shareholders.
