Min Hee-jin, after '8 hours' police investigation…"Still got questions”

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Jo Ji-ho announced that additional investigation into Adore CEO Min Hee-jin is necessary.

At a press conference held at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 15th, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Chief Jo Ji-ho said, "We were not able to confirm all the information we wanted to confirm" regarding the police investigation conducted last week, and stated, "I think more investigation will be necessary."

Regarding the eight-hour investigation, Commissioner Cho said, "We have to accept everything he says," but added, "But isn't there something we want to ask about?"

Min, CEO of Adore, a label under Hive, was accused by Hive of breach of trust in business, and in connection with this, he attended Yongsan Police Station in Seoul on the 9th and was interrogated for 8 hours. Hive claimed that CEO Min had planned to seize Adore's management rights from Hive, but CEO Min countered that this was impossible due to the shareholding structure.

After completing the police investigation on the 9th, CEO Min expressed his position, saying, "I talked about all the important things today and I am very relieved that I told the truth. This cannot be a breach of trust, and from my perspective, it is like a comedy."
