‘[SPOTV NEWS=Jang Jin-ri reporter] Amid disputes over attempts to take control of management and other suspicions by Hive and New Jins’ subsidiary company, the management of the subsidiary company, ADORE, stated that “Hive conducted an illegal audit,” ADORE stated, “Hive conducted an audit that exceeded business boundaries, such as going to the female member’s house late at night, demanding not only a laptop but also personal phones that are not owned by the company,” they said. According to reports, Hive’s audit team began auditing the styling directing team leader of ADORE after work on the evening of May 9, continuing for over 5 hours until past midnight on May 10. They even followed the house of the member who was working within the company, demanding not only a laptop but also personal phones that are not owned by the company, exceeding the scope of the audit. Also, they allegedly applied excessive psychological pressure by using threats like “if you don’t cooperate, you have to go to the police station,” and engaged in unconventional behavior that creates psychological pressure on our member. Despite mentioning their scheduled appointments early in the morning, the coercive audit behavior was clearly a disruption of business.’
Here is the official statement from ADORE.
