Serian Heu, the creative director of ILLIT, has filed a lawsuit against Min Hee Jin, the former CEO of ADOR, alleging plagiarism. The news was confirmed through an interview with Belift Lab’s CEO, conducted by OSEN.
Allegations of Plagiarism
The ongoing feud between Serian Heu and Min Hee Jin stems from accusations that Min plagiarized work from ILLIT. In the interview, the Belift Lab CEO stated:
“This time, we have added another lawsuit [to the previous ones]. ILLIT’s creative director has filed a lawsuit against Director Min for her claims of plagiarism. She also sued the previous business executives of ADOR. We hope that if Director Min is confident in her repeated claims of plagiarism, she will partake in the case diligently.”
The accusations escalated during an earlier conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, where Serian Heu implied misconduct by sharing a provocative photo online.
Background on the Dispute
The controversy began when Min Hee Jin claimed that some creative elements in ILLIT’s projects were copied from her work with NewJeans, a group under HYBE’s label ADOR. In response, Serian Heu has publicly denied the allegations and has now pursued legal action to address the matter formally.
Looking Ahead
This lawsuit adds another layer to the ongoing disputes surrounding creative ownership in the industry. As the case progresses, the involvement of both parties will likely draw significant public attention.
