On November 14, ADOR, a label under HYBE, told Newsen: “We received the certification notification from NewJeans this morning and are currently reviewing it to understand the specifics required. We will do our best to address these issues wisely and will continue to work closely with our artists.”
In response to questions about rumors of an investment by a listed company (called Company D, or Dabeolink) in NewJeans and Min Hee-jin, ADOR added, “Min Hee-jin reaffirmed that rumors regarding any meetings with this company or the involvement of relatives of NewJeans members are completely unfounded.”
Previously, on November 13, NewJeans sent ADOR a notice demanding correction of alleged contract violations, warning that they would terminate the contract if the issues were not resolved within 14 days. Their demands included an apology from a manager for disrespectful comments toward Hanni, the removal of unauthorized photos and videos, an investigation into damages resulting from alleged “album deletions,” and the resolution of a dispute with the director of Shin Woo-seok music videos.
NewJeans also clarified that it has no ties to Society D, saying it will respond firmly to anyone who spreads false rumors about members’ relatives.
Previously, on November 5, Min Hee-jin addressed the issue in an email to reporters, “I am forced to clarify my position on the unfounded rumors circulating about me. Among them, I have heard reports in the investment industry that I am supposedly “prepared to receive investment from someone” or “enter into a contract with someone.” I have also heard of a specific company, but these are completely false.”
He continued, “I am issuing this statement to prevent any potential harm or misuse of this issue, in hopes of stopping these false rumors, and ask for your understanding.”
Company D had initially scheduled an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for October 8 to elect new board directors, including 5 candidates, one of whom would be Hyein’s uncle, an alumnus of Hanyang University and president of the company H. However, this meeting has been postponed twice. .
On November 7, Company D posted a revised notice through the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system, listing 7 new board candidates, excluding the 5 previously mentioned candidates.
Below is the full official statement from ADOR:
“Hi, I’m ADOR.
With numerous requests from journalists, we would like to clarify the following.
Regarding the certification notice, we received it this morning and are reviewing it to understand the specifics required. We will do our best to resolve matters wisely and continue to work closely with our artists.
Regarding questions about the listed company, Min Hee-jin reiterated that rumors regarding the possible involvement of relatives of NewJeans members or meetings with this company are unfounded.“
