Recently, Dispatch news agency shocked everyone when they published a series of private messages on KakaoTalk between CEO of ADOR - Min Hee Jin - with CEO A of ADOR and a magician.
In particular, Min Hee Jin did not hesitate to use vulgar words and sarcastic words when talking about company employees, HYBE President Bang Si Hyuk and even NewJeans - the Kpop girl group that she personally produced.
There were mixed reactions from netizens, as some continued to show support for Min Hee Jin, while others criticized the harsh language she used towards NewJeans members .
HYBE employees also expressed their thoughts on the situation, sharing their perspectives on Blind - an anonymous commenting platform that only people with company emails can participate in.
According to Allkpop, most employees showed support for Min Hee Jin and opposed HYBE for revealing employees' private conversations.
Notable comments include:
"HYBE's media game has gone beyond its limits as a major company. Regardless of the important purpose that only the executives know, it is difficult to understand how they can maintain this this for over 100 days in an image-based industry.
The affiliated artists will also suffer, and they are turning the entire entertainment industry into chaos. It seems the time has come for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism or the Board of Audit and Inspection to intervene and stop HYBE's reckless actions."
"HYBE is wrong if they think that Min Hee Jin can be swayed by this. She was the one who cursed shamelessly during a press conference. Even when they used Dispatch to broadcast the words her harsh comments on KakaoTalk, it won't really affect her much."
"What's impressive about Min Hee Jin is that even though HYBE's audit team conducted an investigation to take her down, scrutinizing everyone around her, they didn't find any evidence of acts of embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds or bribery".
"At this time, it seems that HYBE is the one violating the trust. They continuously make meaningless statements, continuously harming the company's image, and in the entertainment industry, image has directly related to revenue.
“A company revealing its employees' KakaoTalk messages to the media will not win them any sympathy."
