They are both deranged at this point tbh. The "are you happy" text is so BEYOND unnecessary, like sir you hired her to make you money why do you sound so salty? and ma'am no one forced you to sign up for HYBE's terms why do you feel the need for payback? If PD Bang feels so threatened by someone else's talent for creating groups without him he should have NEVER created HYBE to begin with!!!

Like this just makes me question his secret intentions when he purchases and creates other labels.
Are they ever gonna bring it back to NYC??? :(

Mind you this is the same man who claimed to want to help SM by buying them when lo and behold what he's REALLY been wanting this whole time is to destroy them from the inside out or control them. One less competitor to get in his way of complete control of the industry just like he did to Pledis once he realized SVT was starting to become an "issue".
I remember last year we were all eating popcorn to the mess that was HYBE/Lee Soo Man vs Kakao/SM when this drama easily surpassed it by miles with how ridiculous the situation has gotten with so many statements being thrown practically every hour. And to think SM wasn't the only one having sneaky backstabbers working behind the scenes
On April 25, Min Hee Jin held a press conference at the Korea Conference Center, where she stated she and HYBE have differing perspectives. Min Hee Jin expressed, "I feel like they all want me to die. If I suddenly die, will they all be happy? That's what I think honestly. I don't read all the articles and comments. If I do, I won't be able to live. I wonder if anyone can handle this much distress in a short period of time. I'm also human, and I'm not confirmed guilty. I think I'm innocent."

Im sorry but this some messy AF way to speak in front of the media and regardless of what she did I hope someone is keeping an eye on her mental health .________.
I will never understand what makes ILLIT so special to outperform NJ? Is it because unlike NewJeans the fans were prepared for their debut on day 1? Magnetic isn't the worst song on Earth but to tell me its good enough to outperform NJ's debut is HYSTERICAL. I still remember NJ and the members having the entire industry turn its head with their debut in a way I have yet to see with ILLIT besides when it comes to their live or for the lack of singing skills.
It would tank HYBE.

NewJeans debuted right as BTS was going into the military and at that point the boy groups were doing well but nothing on par to SEVENTEEN and the company still lacked an IT girl group on par to BLACKPINK and TWICE. HYBE bet hard on Le Sserafim but the scandal made them have a solid but not chart breaking debut, I feel like the minute NJ debuted everything started picking up for HYBE with literally all their artists having wild success and now you have ILLIT and TWS also riding off the hype of their sunbaes.

I doubt we will have another FIFITY FIFTY situation and I know HYBE will fight MHJ to the bitter death to keep NJ given the absolute goldmine NewJeans is with their sales and popularity on the top of the member's own brand power as global ambassadors for major luxury brands
And wasn’t it actually Mr.A’s job to make scenario for the business plans for Ador? It was litterally one of the scenario he made and never share to Ador because it’s a draft scenario and not a presentation. Now we know why Min Hee Jin said that she never meet investors… because it never happened…
Well, I never though the drama will turns like that, but MHJ is saved in this story.
Can Hybe be sued for spying their employees tho?
I don't think it would count as spying? At least here in America whatever you write on a company computer is company property and they have the authority to access and see employee files. It would be different if he was using his private computer and they somehow hacked into his personal files and found the document.
The fact he had this document lying around in his work computer is WILD, rule no.1 of conspiring against your company is to do it anywhere else besides inside the company where you are being watched and that includes their computers.
$$$$ everyone knows she’s a legend but I think even she herself didn’t realize her concept for NewJeans with HYBE’s massive clout would result in them becoming the biggest girl group since BLACKPINK. Not sure how early she got a a whiff of ILLIT but I think her big head and seeing HYBE try to copy and paste NJ pushed her over the edge.
It would be an extemely petty act for HYBE to put NJ on a blacklist. Given how popular NJ are, it would be obvious and would open a huge can of worms against HYBE.
I suspect the only hostile takeover that is going to happen is HYBE ripping out NewJeans from ADOR. Its true that it would be unfair and they are a cash cow goldmine that is worth figuring out a Plan B to save them.
Oh her ass is either going to jail or HYBE is going to crush her until there isn't anything left but dust. No matter how much she thinks she is owed thanks to the success of NJ at the end of the day SHE was the one who signed the contract agreeing to HYBE's terms. Even if she had succeeded then what? HYBE is still HYBE and HYBE will use their new Big 3 god powers to blacklist ADOR artists from ever seeing the light of day on stage. Min Hee Jin's own clout wouldn't even be enough to protect her since at the end HYBE still manages Korea's no.1 supreme group BTS. Not to mention the world would know she did PD Bang dirty and would turn on her regardless. Once again I am in awe of HYBE's ability to win in 3D chess and get ahead of their enemies.

While I support her statements at the same time its definitely a bit too early to fully say ILLIT are trying to single Korean female NewJeans. For all we know their comeback will be a completely new concept and sound from what NJ have ever done.
The way FNC handled them is criminal.
How embarrassing when your own sub labels know whats good and call you out for copy and pasting your group that everyone has been saying all along. From the minute ILLIT debuted the reeked of being a NJ copycat from the visuals to sound. HYBE knows they hit the jackpot and are too lazy to try something else.

screaming at the way he threw Yunho under the bus by revealing he smokes in the bathroom despite pushing everyone else to have a wholesome image
No one is forcing the fans to buy the new lightstick? Like if I felt that strongly about it I wouldn't care about bringing an older ver to concerts. I guess the only annoyance is PC collectors which I know there are diehards who absolutely need to buy every single card but at the end of the day no one is forcing them to.
The relationship is so intense she can barely remember anything that happened most of the time
Ah Cherry Bullet, remember getting super hyped and thinking they would become one of the biggest mid tier girl groups only for their label to quickly give up on them after only a few releases. Utterly embarrassing.
Surprise surprise, congrats to ILLACT on becoming the latest newbie girl group to achieve a no.1 hit after NewJeans as well as joining the elite rank of girl groups to have their debut reach no.1. Sheesh, HYBE is starting to make topping the charts look easy.
Is this an Onion article? Please be serious, ain't no one going to take FLOPMONSTER and its basic members seriously if they continue to perform as poorly as they are doing on the domestic charts that makes them look SHEIN BLACKPINK.
As expected HYBE has become the same exact monster people were complaining about SM being since this is such an SM thing to do and pit their artists against each other.
