Min Hee-jin, the former CEO of Ador, recently spoke at a press conference in Seoul regarding her ongoing legal battle with Hybe, which has intensified following new allegations of plagiarism against Illit, a K-pop girl group under Belift Lab. An internal whistleblower revealed evidence during a court hearing that Illit's creative director sought NewJeans' project plan during the development of Illit, suggesting that their concepts were strikingly similar. Min claims that this issue prompted Hybe to initiate an internal audit in March, and her legal team presented evidence, including text messages, indicating that the whistleblower felt uncomfortable with the similarities and the subsequent denials from the company. At the center of the dispute is Min's assertion that Hybe violated shareholder agreements by removing her from Ador's board, despite a court injunction preventing such actions. Min has filed for an emergency shareholders meeting to reinstate her position, arguing that Hybe's actions have undermined trust and betrayed her leadership, which had led to significant financial success for Ador. Hybe, on the other hand, has denied all allegations and accused Min of attempting to establish Ador as an independent entity, which they claim has contributed to the ongoing tensions between the parties. The conflict, which began in April, remains unresolved as both sides continue to exchange accusations.
