to was reported that Source Music outlined three main issues in the lawsuit against Min Hee Jin. First, they disputed Min’s claim that she was responsible for casting the NewJeans members. Second, they contested her claim that HYBE had guaranteed she would be able to debut the company’s first girl group. Third, they addressed her allegations that Source Music had failed to properly support the NewJeans members. The lawsuit also alleges that LE SSERAFIM became the target of negative comments because Min suggested that NewJeans was being overlooked due to their debut.
Angered fans of NewJeans began pulling out evidence that Min’s claims had actually been true. Regarding Min Hee Jin’s woes about HYBE promising that the first girl group from the company would be the team led by her, it was previously announced by Bang Si Hyuk himself during a business conference.

Not only that, fans also claim that HYBE had released articles, lying that LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura had been personally recruited by Min Hee Jin. This corroborates with Min’s previous claim that they wanted the public to believe that LE SSERAFIM was the team produced by Min Hee Jin.
