The side of Min Hee-jin, CEO of OK Records and former head of Ador, issued a statement regarding the resumption of hearings in the damages lawsuit with former employee A.

Min Hee-jin's side stated on the 15th through an official position that "on May 27 last year, we officially received a 'non-referral (police) and non-prosecution (Prosecution Service) decision' related to defamation from law enforcement authorities," adding that "since decisive and objective evidence has been secured, the resumption of hearings to submit this to the court was accepted by the civil trial division."

They further added, "We had known early on about the 'non-referral-non-prosecution' decision, which is favorable in the civil trial, but refrained from unnecessary media stunts. This was to faithfully engage in judicial proceedings and clarify the accurate facts in court, not elsewhere," and "However, as some media outlets continued to publish distorted reports, we were compelled to send reference materials."

Former Ador employee A filed a damages lawsuit for approximately 100 million won against Min Hee-jin last August, alleging defamation based on false facts. A claimed that while working at Ador, they suffered workplace bullying and sexual harassment from former deputy head B, leading to their resignation, and that Min Hee-jin attempted to cover it up.

In response, Min Hee-jin's side has denied the allegations, rebutting claims regarding the timing when A raised the issue of the incident.

The two parties went through a court mediation process last January but failed to reach an agreement. Accordingly, the Seoul Western District Court Civil Division 21 designated October 15 as the date for the verdict. However, ahead of the verdict, Min Hee-jin's side filed a motion to resume hearings, which was accepted by the trial division, and hearings are scheduled to be held again on November 26.
