Min Heejin, CEO of ADOR: “I appreciated the response to my internal whistleblowing. There was no response, it just came straight as appreciation. If I hadn’t blown the whistle internally, I probably wouldn’t have held this press conference. I kept sending internal whistleblowing letters and raising issues, but it seemed like no one cared. They didn’t listen to me. It seemed hopeless. Can’t you see what’s happening now?”
Lawyer Lee Soogeun from Sejong Law Firm (MHJ’s legal representative): “We were renegotiating the contract between shareholders. I told her not to do any internal whistleblowing or anything like that, because we needed to negotiate between shareholders. She said, ‘If we don’t fix this immediately, I won’t negotiate the shareholder agreement, and it doesn’t even need to be fixed.’ But she went ahead with this (internal whistleblowing) and decided to take action herself. That’s why it happened.”
This is the content repeatedly mentioned by CEO Min Heejin and her legal representative at a press conference venue on April 25th.
According to legal sources, in an email (document) sent by CEO Min Heejin to the Hybe’s management, she was encouraged by HYBE to push 100,000 copies of ‘NewJean’s albums (땡겨쓰기 = “counting future sales/ borrowing future sales”, it’s done during the first week sales of album to inflate the numbers by counting future sales as part of the first week sales), but she refused and proceeded with objections under the guise of ‘internal whistleblowing’.

[theqoo] “WHEN NEWJEANS RELEASES THE ‘GET UP’ ALBUM, HE WANTED TO PUSH OUT 100,000 COPIES SAYING THAT THEY CAN BEAT AESPA’S FIRST WEEK SALES BUT I FLAT OUT REFUSED BECAUSE IT WENT AGAINST ADOR’S BUSINESS PHILOSOHY
[…]
When NewJeans released the ‘Get Up’ album, Hybe recommended that they push out 100,000 copies, saying they could beat aespa’s first week sales record, but I flat out refused it because it went against ADOR’s business philosophy.”
Regarding the reason why CEO Min Heejin refused to ‘push the album’ recommended by Hybe, “I was concerned that the organic #1 records that NewJeans had already achieved could be tarnished and the various business opportunities that arose as a result could be damaged.”
In addition, “If the ‘album push’ issue receives public attention as a bigger problem in the future, even if NewJeans resolutely refused to push the album, just because they are part of Hybe’s level, the media will act as if they used the ‘album push’ to disguise their achievements and create misunderstandings.”
CEO Min Heejin said, “Even groups like NewJeans, who have high album sales without ‘pushing out albums,’ are being told they could surpass other groups’ records, but what about other groups? This shows Hybe’s serious lack of ethical awareness.”
In addition, “We know that this is already a widespread problem within the Hybe label, but we ask that you intensively investigate whether there are transactions with subsidiaries that could be seen as ‘album push’, including whether there are any transactions conditional on returns, and deal with them sternly and transparently. “
