Embedded Files
ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin and others have filed a lawsuit today (July 24) at the Yongsan Police Station against HYBE CEO Park Ji Won, Audit Committee Chairperson Lim Soo Hyun, Chief Legal Officer Jung Jin Soo, Chief Financial Officer Lee Kyung Joon, and Chief Communication Officer Park Tae Hee for defamation. The charges include obstruction of business, unauthorized access to electronic records, and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.
The accused have repeatedly engaged in the unauthorized dissemination of private messenger conversations and personal information obtained illegally, maliciously editing them to fit their narrative. In April, the accused forcibly acquired work laptops owned by ADOR under the pretext of ‘auditing a subsidiary by the parent company’ with the intent to remove Min Hee Jin from her CEO position following her two internal whistleblowing reports. Through this, they obtained personal KakaoTalk messages. Moreover, they forensically examined a laptop that Min Hee Jin had reset and returned in 2022 when she joined ADOR, illegally acquiring personal conversations unrelated to work. Furthermore, the accused edited and distorted the obtained personal conversations to create and distribute press releases with false information about Min Hee Jin’s management and work performance, thereby generating negative public opinion against her.
The complainants have repeatedly requested, both formally and informally, that the defendants cease these actions, which negatively impact the artists and ADOR staff while causing public confusion. Despite these requests, the accused have continued their illegal activities up until recently. Consequently, we can no longer stand by and allow the ongoing damage to our artists and staff, prompting us to take legal action.
