Alleged Former ADOR Employee And Sexual Harassment Victim Exposes KakaoTalk Messages As Evidence
Earlier this year, HYBE claimed that “Executive A” sexually harassed ADOR female employees, with Min Hee Jin pressuring victims instead of protecting them.
Dispatch also reported HYBE’s claims and was criticized by the public for manipulating text messages in favor of HYBE.
On August 8, 2024, an alleged former ADOR employee and victim of sexual harassment from Executive A posted a lengthy message on an Instagram account revealing the details of what happened.
They also expressed disappointment in Min Hee Jin for manipulating the incident and denying the abuse directed at them.
What greatly disappointed me, to the point where I felt compelled to speak out, was CEO Min Hee Jin’s use of the very manipulation and distortion she had criticized: The public disclosure of KakaoTalk messages without consent, and her denial of the abuse directed at me in the Dispatch exposé, claiming it was aimed at someone else.
Additionally, she used the reason of my resignation and its context to spread lies to the public. It is unforgivable that, despite having wronged someone she once worked with, she exploited the situation and never offered a single apology. Everyone makes mistakes, and when mistakes occur, acknowledging and apologizing swiftly is the right thing to do.

Along with the Instagram post, they also posted an Instagram story with a KakaoTalk message screenshot as evidence.
Instagram story caption: I am sharing [the screenshots of the messages] from the day I was scolded for replying within a minute. I understand that I may seem suspicious. But please don’t doubt me.
KakaoTalk messages: [Screenshots censored out]
Executive A: Look at the time. Hee Jin-nim replied ‘Then when?’ at 1 PM.
Employee: Since it’s the weekend, I checked it late because I’m not looking at my laptop. I would have stopped if I had seen it (Like I stopped yesterday with the cola thing).
Executive A: You sent a five-line message at 1:01 PM. Wouldn’t that make me confused? What you just sent is also just an excuse. Let us stop talking about it.
