On July 23, Dispatch released a scathing exposé targeting Min Hee Jin. In their report, the media outlet offers an alleged glimpse of how Min Hee Jin came to pick the members.

Dispatch Reveals How Min Hee Jin Took Control Of NewJeans — Including Consulting A Shaman For Which Members To Debut

In the report, Dispatch makes several allegations, including accusations claiming Min Hee Jin had listened to a shaman to make her picks. This isn’t the first time Min Hee Jin has been linked to a shaman, and the CEO has denied their involvement in her duties.

The report goes on to include several alleged text messages between Min Hee Jin and the alleged Shaman. In the alleged messages, Min Hee Jin can be seen asking for advice on how many members and which candidate to dismiss.

  • Min Hee Jin: Then how many should be in the group? Should I get rid of [redacted]? 6 members? [redacted] is young and I’m not feeling her. A little punkish feeling.
  • Shaman “K”: 6 sounds good.
  • Min Hee Jin: Then I’ll remove [redacted] and anyway, So Sung Jin will probably put her in Sakura’s group. What do you think?
  • Shaman “K”: You’re right. You’re helping So Sung Jin with this and that. He’s such a dumb “father.”
  • Min Hee Jin: LOL
  • Messages omitted
  • Min Hee Jin: [Picture] Do you agree with getting rid of her?
  • Shaman “K”: I totally agree
  • Min Hee Jin: [Picture]
  • Shaman “K”: She looks like a total fool. Her eyes look like she has a second soul.
  • Min Hee Jin: Is she possessed by a ghost?
  • Shaman “K”: Totally. It’s dark under her eyes and she looks like she is completely out of it.
  • Min Hee Jin: She is eliminated, confirmed.
  • Shaman “K”: Confirmed. Min Hee Jin: What about Danielle? She’s from America. Do you see anything? (I haven’t met her).
  • Shaman “K”: I don’t know her mind.
  • Min Hee Jin: Will she cause trouble?
  • Shaman “K”: It will be good for you when they enter the USA because of her.
  • Messages omitted
  • Min Hee Jin: Will the fools listen to me well? Is there anyone who will remember things?
  • Messages omitted
  • Min Hee Jin: I’ll leave out [redacted 1] and add [redacted 2] so that makes 7 members. Or should I also leave out [redacted 2] and have 6 members?
  • Shaman “K”: [redacted 2]. 6 members is not good.
  • Min Hee Jin: Okay. Is she mental?
  • Shaman “K”: Yes. It’s f***ing serious.
  • Min Hee Jin: Should I take out [redacted 3] for 5 members? Or leave her and keep it 6?
  • Shaman “K”: 6 members.

Dispatch also alleged that it was Source Music’s So Sung Jin that had casted the members, only to lose them to Min Hee Jin.

So Sung Jin first cast Minji in 2018. Hanni was cast in November 2019 through the Plus Global Audition. Haerin was street case in November 2019. At that time, she was a trainee at a different agency. In December 2019, her mother contacted Source Music and ultimately, she transferred to Source Music in February 2020. Danielle was a former YG Entertainment trainee who joined Source Music in July 2020. So Sung Jin personally worked to recruit Hyein, meeting her in person and convincing her parents. Hyein signed in January 2021…

…Source Music wanted to debut “N Team” while Min Hee Jin wanted to pull “N Team” out of the company. In the end, Min Hee Jin won. Source Music allowed “N Team” to leave in September 2021 and instead debuted “S Team” in May 2022. In the end, Source Music lost out on “N Team” while Min Hee Jin achieved her goal.

Netizens reacted to the bombshell exposé surprisingly undeterred in their faith in Min Hee Jin. Many netizens expressed skepticism and alleged Dispatch was biased towards HYBE as this is hardly the first time the media outlet targeted Min Hee Jin. Still, some netizens felt that the allegations couldn’t have all been made up.

  • “Woah. Didn’t she say in her last press conference that she brought the NewJeans members because they were sidelined due to LE SSERAFIM’s debut? The situation completely flips when changing the timeline, they are great at lying.”
  • “Can’t you guys see who’s lying?”
  • “Fitting for theqoo.”
  • “You guys were all cursing at Min Hee Jin in the beginning due to HYBE’s media play, haven’t you guys learned anything from Min Hee Jin’s press conference and her legal win? Now they are trying to win with media play again? I think HYBE is just setting themselves up because they think they are going to lose their upcoming battle.

  • “Does Dispatch have a special relationship with HYBE? This is why I can’t trust anything that Dispatch says in regards to HYBE.”
  • “HYBE is the only label Dispatch doesn’t attack, lol. They are so close that Dispatch doesn’t investigate HYBE idols to see if they are dating, lol.”
  • “How did Dispatch get the text messages between her and the shaman? Did one of them leak it?”
  • “How can you trust Dispatch and HYBE?”
  • “Wow, the text messages are really horrible, lol.”
  • “HYBE are f*cking idiots, but Min Hee Jin is also weird. Why is everyone defending Min Hee Jin? I think Source Music would be so upset and pissed off.”
  • “The timeline for N-team and S-team seems clear. I can understand Source Music…”

What are your thoughts?
