The lawsuit filed by ILLIT creative director Serian Heu against former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin over her plagiarism allegations has concluded in Min Hee-jin’s favor.
Heu sued MHJ for damages, arguing that she faced significant backlash after MHJ’s plagiarism allegations became public. The outcome follows Heu’s own public criticism of MHJ, including a middle-finger image directed at her, as well as scrutiny surrounding Heu’s previous claims about sharing the same college background as MHJ, while actually never having attended.
Heu filed the lawsuit seeking damages over the fallout from those plagiarism allegations. She lost the case.
The attorney stated:
“A HYBE employee came forward as a whistleblower. They said they had passed NewJeans’ planning materials on, and felt uncomfortable with HYBE denying it. The plaintiff is falsely claiming that they have never seen NewJeans’ planning documents.”
The attorney continued:
“July 21, 2023 was before the ILLIT members had even been selected. It makes no sense to claim that such a detailed concept had already been finalized at that point. In the plagiarism comparison video, the plaintiff itself says that ILLIT’s planning documents were created after September.”
Regarding the billboard advertisements, the attorney added:
“It is a fact that the plaintiff used NewJeans as a reference when creating billboard advertisements for ILLIT’s promotion. Before ILLIT’s debut, NewJeans billboard images were shown, and instructions were given to ILLIT’s billboard director to create something similar.”
As supporting evidence, the attorney also cited internal employee reports claiming that NewJeans’ planning materials were referenced when drafting ILLIT’s planning documents. Additionally, employees from HYBE-affiliated companies reportedly stated that reference videos were shown during choreography development, and that choreography would not be selected unless it included movements similar to those shown in the reference materials.
Danielle's Legal Team recently asked the Judge in ADOR Lawsuit to split her case individually from Min Hee-jin & her mother.
They argued that ADOR involved other parties to 'waste everyone's time' and keep other NewJeans members tied & the case would end very quickly if it was just about Danielle as there is no evidence to support their claims. They also argue that this case must end quickly so Danielle can continue her activities as an artist.
The Judge agreed and asked ADOR to clarify why other parties are involved in the first place if it is just a case of 'Breach of Contract'
The Judge also asked ADOR to clarify what claims of "tampering" even mean.
Israeli drones in South Lebanon are broadcasting audio messages of a man shouting for help: “it’s me Mohamad I’m injured please help” to get people out and target them. The same thing was done in Gaza when drones broadcasted babies cries. This is the evil we are dealing with
