Ador CEO Min Hee-jin's conflict with Hybe continues to escalate, despite her attempt at reconciliation. Belift Lab, the agency behind K-pop group Illit, has filed a civil lawsuit against Min, accusing her of business interference and defamation. Additionally, the agency released a 28-minute YouTube video refuting allegations of plagiarism regarding Illit's concept and style. Belift Lab emphasized that the court's approval of Min's preliminary injunction was related to voting rights during Ador's shareholder meeting, not the plagiarism issue. They stated that the civil lawsuit for defamation is a separate matter. Min reaffirmed her stance on Illit's alleged plagiarism during a press conference, insisting that her position remains unchanged. However, she requested that her dispute not be linked to any Hybe artists. Meanwhile, overseas fans of BTS have launched a petition demanding Min's departure from Hybe, citing her negative influence on other artists under the company's management. The petition on Change.org has garnered nearly 51,500 signatures, reflecting international concern over the situation. Change.org, a platform for online petitions, has seen significant participation globally, with around 97,000 petitions leading to actual changes. This highlights the widespread impact of online activism and the level of engagement from individuals across 196 countries.
