Min Hee Jin, the creative director behind NewJeans and a key figure at HYBE and ADOR, is facing fresh allegations after a Korean media outlet, Dispatch, published a series of claims against her. These include accusations of manipulative practices, controversial remarks, and alleged misuse of influence within the entertainment industry.

Key Allegations Raised by Dispatch

• Instructing NewJeans’ Livestream: Dispatch alleged that Min Hee Jin directed NewJeans members to conduct an unauthorized YouTube livestream. During the broadcast, the group reportedly issued an ultimatum to HYBE. Leaked conversations suggest she instructed the group to advocate for her reinstatement as ADOR’s CEO.
• Controversial Text Messages: Screenshots of alleged text exchanges attributed to Min Hee Jin reveal dismissive remarks about artists. She is quoted as saying:

“What artists? I have said so many times that they are not artists. Don’t annoy me by saying that word. What artists?”

Another message allegedly criticized the group’s dedication:

“It’s wasted on upkeep for immature kids. LOL. What would they know? It gives me a reality check when I see how they are only thinking of dancing while looking at the mirror.”

• Meeting with NewJeans’ Member’s Father: Dispatch claimed that Min Hee Jin had conversations with the father of a NewJeans member, allegedly discussing the livestream strategy to further her goals within ADOR.
• Accusations of Favoritism: Min Hee Jin reportedly sought investments from a company where NewJeans member Hyein’s uncle held a significant position, fueling accusations of nepotism.

Claims of Supernatural Practices and Ethical Concerns

• Use of Shamanic Practices: The report suggested that Min Hee Jin used “love spells” from a shaman to allegedly influence her rise within HYBE, raising questions about her ethical conduct.
• Inappropriate Corporate Behavior: Dispatch accused her of “flirting” with HYBE employees to secure power and using manipulative tactics to “steal” NewJeans from Source Music, where the group had reportedly trained before joining ADOR.

Min Hee Jin’s Response

In response to the accusations, Min Hee Jin has denied all claims and announced plans to take legal action against the reporters and media outlets involved in spreading what she called “baseless rumors.” Her legal team is preparing to address the allegations in court.

Public Reaction
