BTS’s fan ARMY issues statement opposing return of former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin.
On September 16th KST, BTS’s fanbase ARMY shared a statement on X (formerly Twitter) with the hashtag #MinHeeJinOut, expressing opposition to the return of former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. The hashtag has since trended globally in countries like North America, the UK, Germany, Poland, and parts of Southeast Asia.
In their statement, ARMY said, “As members of the BTS ARMY community, we have witnessed misinformation spreading in our name. Through this statement, we wish to clarify our position regarding the ongoing management situation.”
The statement continued, “First and foremost, we are united in our opposition to the return of Min Hee Jin as CEO of HYBE’s subsidiary, ADOR. We are aware of her actions during BTS’s military service, consultations with shamans to harm BTS, and attempts to manipulate Korean media to create negative public opinion about BTS and ARMY.”
They added, “Considering this situation, we view any media narratives or baseless accusations supporting Min Hee Jin as part of her agenda. We are also aware that BTS is not in a position to express their opinions freely at this time, which strengthens our stance.”
ARMY concluded, “We urge former CEO Min Hee Jin to stop using the artist and the fanbase as shields to push her agenda and spread falsehoods.”
Meanwhile, Min Hee Jin was removed from her position as ADOR’s CEO on August 27th KST, with Kim Joo Young taking over as the new CEO. In response, Min Hee Jin filed for an injunction at the Seoul Central District Court, requesting the convening of an ADOR interim shareholders’ meeting and her reappointment as executive director.
