A past report regarding CEO Park Jung Kyu‘s claims about a private conversation he had with former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin has resurfaced. CEO Park alleged that Min made crude remarks about HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk.
On March 9, a media outlet reported that Min Hee Jin met with CEO Park sometime between August and September last year to seek investment for a new company. This contradicts previous statements of her denying any contact with external investors, related to her ongoing legal dispute with HYBE.
According to CEO Park, it was Min Hee Jin’s uncle who first approached him with a request. He also implied that Min Hee Jin knew about the meeting.
When I listened to what he had to say, it turned out he was asking me to invest ₩5.00 billion KRW (about $3.41 million USD) in Min Hee Jin. Suddenly being asked to invest such a sum, I told him that I couldn’t do it. Right then and there, her uncle called Min Hee Jin on speakerphone. As soon as she answered, she asked, ‘Did things go well with my uncle?’

What made Park lose trust in Min, however, was something else entirely. He claimed that during their first meeting, she insulted Bang Si Hyuk and called him a “f*cking pig.”
When I heard her call Chairman Bang a ‘f*king pig’ in front of someone she just met, I thought, ‘This person is not it’. She didn’t have basic manners. Although she explained her plan, I felt it wouldn’t work out.

Though Min Hee Jin’s side has denied these allegations, the resurfaced report has gained attention and gone viral once again on Korean forums. Netizens in the comments have criticized Min Hee Jin’s lack of manners and even accused her of being greedy. Others pointed back to similar behavior from the former CEO in her infamous press conferences.
- “I don’t like Bang either, but talking about him like that to someone you just met… lol, that’s just embarrassing.”
- “Greed is ruining everything.”
- “She was never normal to begin with.”
- “I never understood why people thought she was cool when she couldn’t even control herself at the press conference.”
- “That press conference made it so obvious. The positive reactions made me feel like I was being pranked.”
