[theqoo] MIN HEEJIN'S SIDE "NEWJEANS TEMPERING? IT'S NOT ME, BUT BECAUSE OF THE MEMBERS' FAMILY"

Former ADOR CEO Min Heejin’s side has pushed back against allegations of “NewJeans tampering,” instead claiming the issue is connected to the family of one NewJeans member.

Min Heejin’s legal representative, attorney Kim Sun-woong of law firm Jiam, held a press conference on the 28th at a location in Jongno, Seoul, stating, “The NewJeans tampering issue was not caused by Min Heejin, but by the family of one of the members.”

The press conference was held under the title: “The Truth Behind Former ADOR CEO Min Heejin’s ‘Tampering’ and the Davolink Stock Market Manipulation Case. Who Are the K-pop Destroyers and the Aiders of Market Manipulation?”

Regarding why Min Heejin did not attend in person, Kim explained, “There are sensitive issues between Min and the families of the NewJeans members, making it difficult for her to speak directly. She was deeply shocked after recently hearing about matters related to the families’ relationships, so it became difficult for her to appear. We ask for your understanding.”

Attorney Kim further stated, “On December 30, 2025, just one day before the start of the 2026 New Year, former ADOR CEO Min Heejin was served with a lawsuit seeking 10 billion won in damages, alleging that she led the termination of NewJeans’ exclusive contracts and tampered with the group to remove them from ADOR, thereby infringing on ADOR’s creditor rights.”

He continued, “Min believed that her relationship with HYBE and ADOR had been resolved, that all NewJeans members would return, and that everyone could simply do their best individually for the future of NewJeans.”

However, he added, “ADOR has attempted to dismantle NewJeans by terminating only member Danielle’s contract, and has continued to try to exploit the families of the members in the lawsuits between Ms. Min and HYBE. Out of concern that NewJeans could be disbanded, we had no choice but to clarify at least our minimum position, which is why this press conference was held.”

Addressing the “NewJeans tampering” claims made by ADOR’s management, major shareholders, and the media, Kim asserted, “With the help of specialized legal counsel, Min recently discovered that this was not her doing, but rather a ‘stock market manipulation conspiracy’ involving the family of one NewJeans member colluding with a specific business figure.”

He also added, “In particular, we have obtained evidence that HYBE’s management already knew that these stock price manipulation forces had devised and were attempting to execute a plan to exploit Ms. Min and the NewJeans members.”

He continued, “The dispute that arose in April 2024 between former ADOR CEO Min Heejin and ADOR’s majority shareholder HYBE had absolutely nothing to do with NewJeans tampering. It stemmed from differences in perspective over how HYBE operates its affiliated subsidiaries.”

Regarding that time, he countered, “When HYBE disclosed the audit of CEO Min Heejin to the media, the conflict between HYBE and Ms. Min surfaced publicly, but issues such as terminating NewJeans’ exclusive contracts or the members’ future were not related at all.”
