In other news, CEO Min Hee Jin in an interview with Ilgan Sports denied all of HYBE’s claims of her trying to snatch management rights and take ADOR away from HYBE. The ADOR CEO added she never met any investors to seize control from HYBE, unlike the latter’s claim. She questioned the plausibility by asking how could she do that with just 18% shares. Min Hee Jin said ADOR can't leave HYBE without their consent and it is hard to understand why they are claiming otherwise.
ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin calls FIFTY FIFTY incident ‘stupid’
