Recent developments for former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin, who has faced numerous police investigations and court trials due to successive legal actions, have not been favorable. The momentum she once displayed after shouting "Complete Victory" and showing confidence appears to have waned. There are two lawsuits scheduled for next week alone.

Seoul Mapo Police Station recently revealed that it concluded its investigation into a complaint filed by Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) against employees of the Ministry of Employment and Labor regarding issues raised during an investigation into workplace harassment, determining there was no cause for prosecution. While Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) alleged forgery of official documents and dereliction of duty, police concluded that although some clerical errors were acknowledged, intent could not be established.

The workplace harassment case involving Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) came to light in August 2024 when former Ador employee A reported suffering from verbal abuse by Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) and filed a complaint with labor authorities. Employee A also claimed to have been subjected to workplace harassment by executive B, known as an associate of Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO), and alleged that during the reporting process, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) failed to properly investigate the incident and shielded B. Consequently, Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office determined that certain remarks by Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) could cause physical and mental distress and worsen the work environment, constituting workplace harassment. The office also imposed a fine on Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) for failing to objectively investigate workplace harassment as an employer. In response, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) filed a lawsuit challenging the fine, eventually securing a court ruling that partially overturned the labor authorities' decision to impose the penalty.

The criminal complaint filed by Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) against HYBE's management team was also ultimately concluded with no grounds for prosecution by the Prosecution Service.

On May 27, the Criminal Division 1 of Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office issued a blanket decision not to prosecute (no cause for prosecution) regarding Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO)'s complaint against six executives, including Park Ji-won of HYBE Jeon (CEO), and four other executives, such as Kim Tae-ho, CEO of Belief Lab, a label under HYBE.

At the time, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) claimed that during her management of Ador, she engaged in "occult management" by consulting with shamans for advice and that HYBE distributed false press materials in April 2024 alleging collusion between Ador representatives and members of NewJeans to terminate their exclusive contracts. However, the Prosecution Service determined that while the term "occult management" was an exaggerated expression, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) had indeed had multiple KakaoTalk conversations with shamans regarding Ador's management, and since courts have ruled that Ador's exclusive contracts with NewJeans members remain valid, HYBE's claims were not false.

Following the first-instance ruling on her put option lawsuit last February, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) directly addressed media reports about herself, stating, "Is this 'Daebolink Season 2'? Haha. No one will fall for such novels anymore. The trick of exaggerating trivial matters into something significant seems identical to wherever it comes from. Instead of focusing on ordinary civil cases, why don't you dig deeper into those currently under criminal investigation?" She continued, "It seems like reverse viral marketing has begun since my recent complete victory. That's a clichéd tactic. Please remember that even during interviews, I have the right to respond. Stop spreading false information and uphold journalistic ethics."

Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) further added, "I'm fed up with this. You'd be better off writing science fiction novels or melodramatic drama scripts if you're going to keep doing this," while demanding civil and criminal liability for the false reporting on Daebolink and today's coverage.

Despite the apparent 'complete victory' earlier, there has been no clear news of further success so far. Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) is set to file lawsuits next week: one seeking 33 billion won in damages from Ador and another seeking 100 million won in damages from a former Ador employee on the 23rd.

Meanwhile, according to Singaporean daily The Straits Times and Japanese media NNA, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) recently held a press conference at the Seoul Foreign Correspondents' Club, sharing updates on the launch of Boy Group and other matters. Notably, when asked about legal disputes with Ador and others, Min Hee-jin Jeon (CEO) reportedly responded that domestic media coverage was biased.
