Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Audor, fainted while trying to protect NewJeans, a girl group.
On the morning of the 28th, an open press conference was held at the Kyowon Jonggak Building Challenge Hall in Gwansul-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the suspicion of "NewJeans tamping." Attorney Jiam Kim Sun-woong of the law firm attended.
On the same day, investigative news outlet The Gate revealed the contents of the conversation with the NewJeans member's family (old father) B. According to the transcript of the call, when asked, "Why did Min Hee-jin stay silent when there was nothing about tamping or taking out the members?" B replied, "It's just an episode that's not a big deal."
In response, the investigative media said, "During the reporting process, I asked Min Hee-jin why he was silent for more than a year, but the answer was the same. "I was worried that the members might get hurt." He said, "I've been suffering from nervous breakdown for more than a year, and I've been silent because I'm afraid that my members will get hurt and my family will have a hard time."
In addition, "I shared the recording file with Mr. B that we covered with the lawyer. As far as I know, Min Hee-jin fainted after hearing B's "because it's a minor episode." "I fainted when I saw the family of NewJeans members who I wanted to keep smiling, saying, "It's not a big deal."
Earlier in July 2024, Hive terminated the contract between shareholders, saying Min Hee-jin tried to privatize NewJeans and Adore and caused damage to the company and its affiliated labels. After that, Min Hee-jin was dismissed from his position as CEO of Audor a month later. Eventually, in November of the same year, Min Hee-jin resigned from his position as the company's executive director and notified Hive of the exercise of put options worth about 26 billion won. However, Hive argued that the shareholder agreement had already been terminated in July, making it ineffective for the exercise of put options.
In response, Min Hee-jin refuted that Hive's notice of termination was invalid because there was no violation of the shareholders' contract, maintaining the position that the right to claim payments should be recognized because the put option exercised by him is valid.
In the process, NewJeans lost the first trial to confirm the validity of its exclusive contract with Adore in October last year, and all members expressed their intention to return to Adore without appeal. However, in December of the same year, Odor notified Daniel of the termination of the exclusive contract and filed a lawsuit against Daniel, a family member, and Min Hee-jin for damages worth 43.1 billion won. Min Hee-jin established a new agency, "Okay," in October last year.
