Allegations against ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin

Allegations against ADOR's CEO Min Hee Jin have escalated, with Bang Si Hyuk's HYBE initiating an audit amid suspicions of attempts to sever ties with the company. The audit, prompted by rumors of Min Hee Jin's alleged plans to take ADOR independently, revealed a series of concerning accusations.

Key among the allegations are claims of information leakage, external consulting, and irregular personnel practices. It's reported that Min Hee Jin, along with deputy CEOs A and B, received external consulting to orchestrate a takeover of ADOR's management rights from HYBE. The audit uncovered evidence suggesting that ADOR had been plotting this move since early 2024, intending to allegedly sway investors and manipulate public opinion to portray HYBE unfavorably.

Deputy CEO A, formerly affiliated with HYBE, is alleged to have played a pivotal role by leveraging trade secrets obtained from the company. These secrets, including financial and contractual information, were purportedly used to devise ADOR's strategy to secure management autonomy. Additionally, private artists' information, such as pre-debut media and personal health records, was reportedly leaked.

Further accusations involve inappropriate personnel hires influenced by external parties, leading to breaches of employee privacy and HR protocols. The audit was prompted by a tip-off received by HYBE, sparking an investigation into the veracity of the claims.
