Could the careers of beloved K-Pop idols be at stake due to corporate power plays?
The K-Pop industry is in turmoil following an audit launched by HYBE against Min Hee Jin, CEO of its subsidiary ADOR. The audit aims to investigate allegations of mishandling sensitive information and manipulating public opinion. The inquiry began after an anonymous tip-off about possible misconduct within ADOR.
The allegations against Min Hee Jin and her deputies, known only as CEOs “A” and “B,” include leaking crucial business and personal data to external entities such as foreign investment advisors and private equity firms. This is believed to be a strategic move to wrest control of ADOR from HYBE by swaying public opinion against the conglomerate.
The implicated parties are accused of disclosing confidential contract details between ADOR and HYBE and sharing private information about artists, potentially harming their public image and personal safety. The goal of these actions is thought to be encouraging HYBE to relinquish its 80% stake in ADOR to other investors sympathetic to Min’s cause.
Apparently executives & min heejin also leaked artist personal information and used it against hybe idols to create negative media play… she also communicated with artists’ parents (I think this is just njs)🤢 JAIL HER idc pic.twitter.com/o6eXQnPU4L
Fan reactions to these serious allegations have been fierce and heated. Fans of various HYBE groups, including TXT, LE SSERAFIM, and even BTS, have expressed their dismay online, fearing that these tactics could jeopardize the careers and safety of their favorite idols.
I wouldnt be surprised if TXT is targeted in her little schemes. Remember this…???? trying to make a YAWNZZN dupe and using TXT as reference.
That "leaked artist personal information and used it against hybe idols to create negative media play" kinda giving me lsrfm debut era war flashbacks https://t.co/wzxuJzL7g5pic.twitter.com/CzL3YriTE7
So min heejin was leaking info about hybe artists, to taget them with attacks, very likely including BTS' as they are hybes main asset and she's been working with bighit. That after being given everything from BTS money. I hope she fucking rots in jail https://t.co/9aP0ZMBlRZpic.twitter.com/cDoMT79FXa
if the "artist personal information for negative media play" part applies to all hybe artists, so many rumors in the past year just make so much sense now lol https://t.co/eNI2lmER75
Accusations that Min’s strategies might not only twist public opinion but even empower sasaengs and other harmful stalkers have intensified these worries. One fan articulated the sentiment of many by stressing the seriousness of the situation, suggesting that such actions go beyond mere corporate maneuvering and could endanger the well-being of many beloved K-Pop idols.
we do realize this isn’t just spreading rumors to p@nn and shit, this also means possibly leaking info to saesangs and people that could literally harm these idols… this woman should be in jail https://t.co/xW9BiStuVJ
trying to ruin other hybe groups careers just to achieve 51% of shares in a company that’s never been hers and was made by hybe itself is crazy and nasty she deserves jail time https://t.co/1Nwyd0oFsw
"Leaked idols personal information " its very sus that for the past 2 years BTS informations were leaked one after the other and many things happened which was more than usual…and we were suspicious about someone in HYBE leaking those stuff https://t.co/ohcN36cNwi
However, there are also fans who believe in Min Hee Jin’s innocence and accuse HYBE of using media play to pressure Min to step down from her position to avoid further drama.
No hybe artist has had personal information leaked in years btw, this is an example of negative media play by Hybe. https://t.co/KrIMGS5Wnk
As the tension between the parties continues to unfold, the future of K-Pop hangs in the balance, leaving fans worldwide anxiously awaiting the outcome.
