(Seoul = News1) Reporter Hyun-jin Kwon = On the morning of the 10th, Audire, the ‘NewJins’ agency in conflict with HYBE, held a board meeting at a location in downtown Seoul. Sejong Law Firm, the legal representative of Min Hee-jin, announced on the 10th, “The board meeting today, including an audit, resolved to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on May 31 with the attendance of all members.” They added, “The agenda of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was decided on the content requested by HYBE.” HYBE’s requested agenda for the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders is the dismissal proposal for Min Hee-jin. Given that HYBE holds 80% of Audire’s stake, the dismissal proposal is expected to be approved. /Photo=(Seoul = News1) Reporter Hyun-jin Kwon, HYBE stated, regarding the ‘NewJins’ parent company protest email raised by a certain media outlet, that “the email itself was written by L, the vice president, and Min, not by the ‘NewJins’ parents.”
According to Daily Sports on the 13th, the parents of NewJins sent an email to HYBE with suggestions, and the email reportedly contained contents such as ‘whether HYBE’s rookie girl group copied NewJins,’ ‘disrespecting NewJins members by not greeting them,’ and more.
In response, HYBE stated, “We received the email on the 3rd of last month and already responded on the 16th that there was no plagiarism, among other points. The claim that the Audire situation started with HYBE’s disrespect is also not factual.”
HYBE further explained, “We deeply regret Min’s behavior of dragging artists and their families into his fight for his own interests,” stating, “We have evidence ▲that sending emails attacking HYBE was part of a plan for a hostile takeover and profit-seeking ▲that Min mentioned using parents as a shield when raising issues violates the shareholder agreement ▲that the email claimed to be sent by parents was actually written by Vice President L and Min.” They emphasized, “We cannot condone Min Hee-jin’s actions of using artists as shields for profit-seeking and even resorting to parents. We urge once again to refrain from manipulating public opinion and to exercise restraint for the protection of artists’ values.”
