Former ADOR chief Min Hee-jin is heading back to live radio to set the record straight. It’s her second on-air rebuttal this month, following a Dec. 4 appearance on the YouTube show “Yeouido Genre,” where she shared her side of a 26 billion KRW put-option dispute.
According to OKAY Records, Min will go live at 6:10 p.m. KST today (the 19th) on YTN Radio’s “News Frontline with Kim Joon-woo,” where she plans to address allegations of coordinated opinion-shaping by a major corporation and outline her next steps.
She’s also expected to discuss matters related to TAG PR (The Agency Group PR), a HYBE-affiliated firm cited in recent U.S. court proceedings.
Min has been fending off accusations stemming from her tenure at ADOR, including claims of favoritism toward a former romantic partner. HYBE has alleged that, while she led ADOR, the label inked a deal with production company BANA on terms so favorable that BANA’s 2022 service fees reportedly doubled the total payouts to NewJeans members.
The BANA CEO was also said to have received an annual bonus of roughly 1 billion KRW.
OK Records has pushed back, calling the “ex-boyfriend incentive” narrative a smear and arguing that the BANA partnership was a strategic, results-driven move that helped shape NewJeans’ music. Framing it as a personal relationship, they contend, distorts the case and distracts from the core legal issues.
