NewJeans' Future Uncertain as Min Hee-jin Leaves HYBE



Min Hee-jin, former CEO of ADOR, announced a complete breakup with Hive. In particular, attention is being paid to the fact that his aides, also known as 'Min Line', will soon leave ADOR.

Japan's Asahi TV reported on the 21st that former CEO Min Hee-jin left Ador.

The media reported that 'Min has continued to fight in court since his dismissal from Hybe, but he resigned from his position as an in-house director saying that 'no more efforts are a waste of time,' and many staff members who have supported Min and NewJeans' activities will soon resign.'



As a result, the theory that former representative Min, who left Hive, might be making a new round with NewJeans was strengthened.

If a staff member who has formed a team called NewJeanswith former CEO Min, planned the concept, and conceived the album and world view, leaves Ador's identity virtually disappears. In addition, if the resignation staff heads to former CEO Min's arms, the place where they are will be the only renamed adore. If that happens, wouldn't NewJeans' choice be obvious.

Moreover, NewJeans is currently sending proof of content to Ador, which demands the return of former CEO Min. The members issued an ultimatum saying they would terminate the contract if the requirements were not corrected. However, it is impossible for former CEO Min to return to the CEO position at a time when he has even taken over his own position as an in-house director. The prevailing opinion is that the new edition will be drawn up as Min's sketch, as NewJeans would not have put forward the conditions without knowing this.

Of course, in this case, there are many mountains to overcome, including disputes over exclusive contracts with Hive, allegations of tempering, and dozens of other lawsuits against former CEO Min. Nevertheless, attention is being paid to whether former CEO Min, who has claimed to be the '
NewJeans' Mom," and the guardian angel NewJeans, who came forward to protect him, will join hands again.
Former CEO Min announced on the 20th that he would resign from the company's executive director and terminate the shareholder contract with Hybe. At the same time, it declared that it would continue legal battles against Hybe and officials.
