“To our team, hello. This is Park Ji Won.
Recently, there has been a lot of news about our company. I think many of you will be reasonably confused and panicked about being part of a company that has been leading entertainment for all this time.
Our company was a pioneer in following the path of a multi-brand company and we have already faced big and small obstacles. But we take these as stepping stones as we overcome them, growing from them.
In the midst of this, this matter happened and I am also sad about it. However, as this is a case in which we found definitive intentions to confiscate the company, we began audits to set things straight. We have already internally reviewed some parts of the company and, through the audit, we will investigate further and take more definitive action against those responsible.
I hope you are not too affected by the current content being released in the media. Currently, the brand responsible for this does not respond adequately to the justified audit and refuses to respond. Everything they claim is false and without evidence. Currently, the issues raised are not related to ILLIT’s debut period and we found that they were all pre-planned. We plan to investigate this more carefully during the audit and take appropriate action to address it.
I must implore you, as our team, to work hard at your work without being affected by this. The company will do its best not to allow the value of the IP and the work you have worked on thus far to be slandered,” Park Ji Won said in the first part of her statement (via Koreaboo).
After that, the CEO spoke about the employees of ADOR and BELIFT Lab, who are the focus of the fight between ADOR and HYBE. During the statement, he praises his collaborators, and concludes by telling them to continue working on the growth and next comeback of NewJeans. Look!
“To the ADOR team, the company knows very well that you have been working hard in your own roles. Therefore, we think that you will be the ones most concerned about this entire case. Please do not worry and continue to do your best , just as you did, to work on the growth and return of NewJeans. And HYBE will always prioritize the protection of our artist and staff. We also especially ask that everyone take the utmost care to help artists remain calm during this time. , we will set the direction and direction of HR after further thought, so that all of you can work with peace of mind.
To the Belift Lab team, we know very well the efforts you all made to help ILLIT make its debut. Although you all feel bad due to the sudden news, please do not let the untruths affect you and we ask that you continue to work hard for ILLIT’s success,” concluded Park Ji Won (via Koreaboo).
Recently, there was a disagreement between ADOR and HYBE, after Min Hee JinCEO of ADOR, stated that the girl group ILLIT, which debuted in March 2024 under the BELIFT Lab label, was a copy of NewJeans, which debuted in July 2022. The case is still ongoing.
