HYBE revealed this Wednesday, 24, that it will respond legally to Min Hee Jin’s lawsuit against the conglomerate’s five executives.
On Tuesday, the 24th, HYBE revealed that it will respond legally to the lawsuit Min Hee Jin who, during the morning of last Tuesday, 23, accused five executives of the conglomerate of leaking some of their private conversations on the KakaoTalk application.
According to South Korean portal Dispatch, the messages revealed details about NewJeans’ debut, indicating that ADOR’s CEO had postponed the group’s release after consulting a shaman. In addition, Source Music, the company where Min Hee Jin previously worked for, also accused her of having “stolen” the members of NewJeans to release the group under her own label, which she vehemently denied.
In response, HYBE issued a statement denying all allegations made against the executives who allegedly leaked the conversations. Read on:
We would like to address the claims made by Min Hee Jin, CEO of ADOR, and others, who filed a lawsuit against HYBE executives today.
– Min Hee Jin never sent any information assets such as laptops to HYBE, nor did she comply with any audits.
– Two deputy CEOs voluntarily submitted their information assets. Our company has never forcibly acquired any assets.
– We previously stated in court during the preliminary injunction hearing that HYBE never illegally examined a laptop previously returned by Min Hee Jin.
– Min Hee Jin sent various work-related documents, including conversations with a shaman, to third parties using her HYBE business email account. These emails remained on our company’s server.
– The recipient of these emails was identified as a high-ranking employee of a partner company, “Company B”.
– Min Hee Jin consented to the processing of her personal information when she joined HYBE, a fact that was disclosed during the preliminary injunction hearing.
– Despite our repeated clarifications regarding the acquisition of the information, Min Hee Jin and others have filed a lawsuit based on false allegations. We will respond with a counterclaim for false accusations.”
