NewJeans CEO says he was manipulated by HYBE, what does the company say?

    ĐÔNG DU |

    Min Hee Jin - the person behind the success of NewJeans - claimed that HYBE offered to pay her to leave the company, while HYBE said that Min Hee Jin was lying.

    According to Korean media, JoongAng Ilbo media outlet published an exclusive interview with Min Hee Jin, former CEO of ADOR.

    In the interview, Min Hee Jin stated that, after the court approved her request for an injunction to prevent her dismissal at the extraordinary board meeting in May, HYBE offered to pay her to leave the company. However, since Min Hee Jin's intention in this was not money, she refused.

    Min Hee Jin also added that the core of this dispute has nothing to do with anything as big as the company's development or improving the current system. It is nothing more than a public execution ordered by the chairman of a parent company...

    According to Min Hee Jin, HYBE also tried to "distort the truth" about NewJeans' success in Japan and "sent articles defaming her reputation to foreign journalists."

    In response to Min Hee Jin's statements in the JoongAng Ilbo interview, HYBE's representative spoke out to refute. HYBE's representative said that they never gave Min Hee Jin money to leave the company.

    In addition, the internal audit was conducted based on reliable evidence and was not an "illegal order" as Min Hee Jin claimed.

    HYBE's representative said that they did not violate their promise not to interfere with Min Hee Jin's subsidiary as they claimed. HYBE has never sent articles to foreign journalists to slander Min Hee Jin.

    Regarding the correction articles about NewJeans' album sales, HYBE would like to clarify that the certification awarded by the Recording Industry Association of Japan is based on the number of albums shipped, not the number of albums sold.
