It's important to remember that #HYBE publicly stated that one of the main reasons for removing Min Hee‑jin from her position at ADOR was that she allegedly violated the shareholder agreement attempting to seize control of ADOR and leave with the NewJeans members. This allegation was the basis of the case they brought to court.
HYBE terminated both her contract and the shareholder agreement, claiming that she had breached it.
However, the court found that #MinHeeJin did not violate the agreement, meaning HYBE's stated reason for her dismissal was not legally valid. The court officially ruled in her favor, dismissing HYBE's claims and upholding her right to exercise her put option.
With the central allegation against her rejected in court, the legitimacy of the actions taken against her is inevitably called into question. She was publicly accused, witch-hunted and removed from her position, while #NewJeans faced intense harassment, mockery, doxxing, se*ualization, and threats, all stemming from an alleged violation that the court ultimately did not recognize as valid.
From what has been made public, this situation appears to have escalated after Min Hee‑jin raised internal concerns to HYBE and #BELIFT about similarities between her group and BELIFT's group. These concerns were communicated through internal emails, and it's possible that these exchanges prompted HYBE to remove her before she could raise them publicly.
NewJeans and the entire original #ADOR team deserve an apology.
- ILLIT official twitter followed a NewJeans anti-account.
- Belift CEO sexualized NewJeans, calling them objects of adult fantasies.
- Serian Heu (Belift creative director) posted middle finger picture on social media.
- Belift Choreographers shade NewJeans and OG ADOR on their ig stories (right after the Tokyo Dome performance).
- FRANTS (Belift producer) kicked NewJeans bunini (official NewJeans merch) and posted it the day NewJeans announced their hiatus.
- Belift shades NewJeans in one of their videos. "They say you always meet your enemy in the company hallways."
- Belift asked for and was handed NewJeans planning documents. This was recognized and justified by the court.
But gllits will draw the line over MHJ liking "shady" comments. They're so good at portraying Belift and ILLIT victims when it's completely the other way around. These people are so hypocrite cheering Belift whenever they're being nasty towards MHJ and NewJeans. Never let them rewrite history.
