It was previously reported that ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin had been planning a coup to take over management rights of ADOR from HYBE.

After receiving a tip-off about the plan, HYBE launched an audit against Min Hee Jin and two other deputy CEOs. In the process, more details were revealed, including accusations of manipulation of public opinion towards HYBE and HYBE artists, approaching the NewJeans members’ parents, and more.
In response to the newly revealed details, netizens on theqoo have been full of criticism for her “plot.”

Netizens have been especially critical of what they perceive to be her “greed.”
