Amid the latest revelations in the HYBE feud against ADOR‘s Min Hee Jin, the company’s 16th floor has become a hot topic among international fans.

But why are netizens talking about the 16th floor?
When the feud between HYBE and ADOR started, one piece of information that surprised netizens came from the layout of the building. According to a floor plan, ADOR is based on the 16th floor and it was surprising that the new sublabel, and not BIGHIT MUSIC, got to have the highest floor on the building.
So, when the news was announced, many took it as a huge win for ADOR, Min Hee Jin, and NewJeans. It meant that netizens started tweeting about HYBE’s “16th floor” because they thought it should be hosting a party or celebrating because it’s a major breakthrough for the company amid the ongoing feud.
