Tension between HYBE and Min Hee Jin – The CEO of subsidiary company ADOR is currently causing a stir in the Korean entertainment industry and shows no signs of stopping. Currently, the object most affected by this noise seems to be the girl group NewJeans.
NewJeans eliminated from concert organized by HYBE?
Recently, the official poster for the music festival “Weverse Con Festival 2024” jointly organized by HYBE and Weverse was released. Notably, NewJeans is the only artist in the group that does not participate in this event.
Except for BTS, which is temporarily inactive, the remaining groups under HYBE including BOYNEXTDOOR, ENHYPEN, fromis_9, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, TXT, TWS, &Team all appear in the lineup alongside many guest artists.
The audience all thought that this was the first consequence of the conflict between HYBE and the “mother of NewJeans” CEO Min Hee Jin. On the other hand, due to the absence from the “family concert”, many fans also began to worry about NewJeans’ future artistic activities.
What will happen to NewJeans because of the fight between HYBE and Min Hee Jin?
According to HYBE, CEO Min Hee Jin is planning to take over management and separate ADOR from the parent company. Therefore, the group convened a shareholder meeting and asked the female CEO to resign. In response, Min Hee Jin denied the accusations and continuously made shocking statements.
It can be seen that the most worrying name in this battle is definitely NewJeans as the group is one of the most “swordfish” artists today. In particular, the girls are also about to make a comeback with a new music product.
In the worst case, if NewJeans wants to leave HYBE Group with “mother” Min Hee Jin, a tense legal battle could happen. This means that all of the group’s artistic activities will likely be interrupted.
