Recent Developments in Min Hee Jin’s Shaman Controversy

In recent weeks, a controversy has emerged involving ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and her alleged use of a shaman to make significant decisions about the NewJeans group lineup. This has drawn considerable attention and criticism following the leak of private messages that reveal the nature of these consultations.

Details of the Shaman Consultation

• Shaman “K” was reportedly paid over ₩40.0 million KRW (approximately $28,800 USD) by Min Hee Jin between March and June 2021.
• Private messages leaked by Dispatch reveal detailed conversations between Hee Jin and Shaman “K” about the composition of NewJeans.
• In these messages, Hee Jin discusses potential changes to the group’s members, with Shaman “K” offering advice on who should be included or excluded based on mystical insights.

Key Points from the Messages:

• Min Hee Jin: Then how many should be in the group? Should I get rid of [redacted]? 6 members? [redacted] is young and I’m not feeling her. A little punkish feeling.
• Shaman “K”: 6 sounds good.
• Min Hee Jin: Then I’ll remove [redacted] and anyway, So Sung Jin will probably put her in Sakura’s group. What do you think?
• Shaman “K”: You’re right. You’re helping So Sung Jin with this and that. He’s such a dumb “father.”
• Min Hee Jin: LOL

Messages omitted

• Min Hee Jin: [Picture] Do you agree with getting rid of her?
• Shaman “K”: I totally agree
• Min Hee Jin: [Picture]
• Shaman “K”: She looks like a total fool. Her eyes look like she has a second soul.
• Min Hee Jin: Is she possessed by a ghost?
• Shaman “K”: Totally. It’s dark under her eyes and she looks like she is completely out of it.
• Min Hee Jin: She is eliminated, confirmed.
• Shaman “K”: Confirmed.
• Min Hee Jin: What about Danielle? She’s from America. Do you see anything? (I haven’t met her).
• Shaman “K”: I don’t know her mind.
• Min Hee Jin: Will she cause trouble?
• Shaman “K”: It will be good for you when they enter the USA because of her.
• Messages omitted
• Min Hee Jin: Will the fools listen to me well? Is there anyone who will remember things?

Messages omitted

• Min Hee Jin: I’ll leave out [redacted 1] and add [redacted 2] so that makes 7 members. Or should I also leave out [redacted 2] and have 6 members?
• Shaman “K”: [redacted 2]. 6 members is not good.
• Min Hee Jin: Okay. Is she mental?
• Shaman “K”: Yes. It’s f***ing serious.
• Min Hee Jin: Should I take out [redacted 3] for 5 members? Or leave her and keep it 6?
• Shaman “K”: 6 members.

Shaman “K” Disappears

On July 26, media visits to Shaman “K”’s last known temple revealed that the shaman had disappeared. The temple staff stated that Shaman “K” had left and the provided contact number was no longer in service. The current operator of the temple, identified as Shaman “H”, has no connection to Shaman “K” and assumed management only earlier this year.

• Shaman “H”: “I have no relationship with her and am not the shaman being mentioned.”

This incident has intensified the backlash against Min Hee Jin, who has already faced criticism for her decision to consult a shaman for professional choices. Hee Jin has claimed that Shaman “K” was merely an acquaintance and has otherwise kept a low profile regarding the matter.
