HYBE “The claim that I did not receive greetings from New Genes is not true.”
On the 13th, HYBE released an official press release, saying, "We would like to explain the email that NewJeans' parents sent to our company, which was reported by a media outlet on the 13th," and added, "We received the email on April 3rd and sent it in April. “We already responded on the 16th, confirming that it was not plagiarism, and we would like to inform you that the claim that the start of the Adore incident ‘was caused by poor treatment, such as not receiving greetings,’ is a one-sided claim and is not true.”
He continued, "We feel very sorry for the old practice of CEO Min, who is dragging artists and their families into his fight for his own greed."
HYBE said, "Our company said that ▲ sending emails attacking HYBE started as a plan to seize management rights and pursue private interests. ▲ CEO Min said that if he raised the issue, it would be a violation of the shareholder agreement, so let's put his parents first. One point ▲We are securing evidence as the email itself said to have been sent by the parents was written by Vice President L and Representative Min, not the parents," he said. "We plan to submit this as evidence to investigative and judicial agencies."
HYBE also said, “We cannot help but deplore the behavior of CEO Min Hee-jin, who uses artists as shields to pursue private interests and even puts her parents first. We urge you once again to refrain from trying to mislead public opinion and to exercise self-respect to protect the value of artists. “He raised his voice.
Meanwhile, on this day, a media outlet revealed the contents of an email that CEO Min Hee-jin sent to HYBE to the effect that 'Aillet plagiarized New Genes.' In addition, it was reported that parents of New Genes members raised objections through e-mails, claiming that 'Chairman Bang Si-hyuk did not receive greetings from the members' and that New Genes was treated poorly and ignored.
Below is HYBE’s official position in full:
HYBE informs you.
We would like to explain the email that NewJeans' parents sent to us, which was reported by a media outlet on the 13th.
We received the email on April 3rd and already responded on April 16th, confirming that it was not plagiarism.
We would also like to inform you that the claim that the Adore incident started from ‘lack of treatment, such as not receiving greetings,’ is a one-sided claim and is not true.
We feel very sorry for CEO Min's practice of dragging artists and their families into his fight for his own greed.
Our company believes that ▲ sending an email attacking HYBE itself started as a plan to seize management rights and pursue private interests ▲ that CEO Min said that if he raised an issue himself, it would be a violation of the shareholder agreement, so let's put his parents first ▲ We have evidence such as the fact that the email itself said to have been sent by the parents was written by Vice President L and Representative Min, not the parents. We plan to submit this as evidence to investigative and judicial authorities.
We cannot help but deplore the behavior of CEO Min Hee-jin, who uses artists as shields and even puts her parents first in order to pursue private interests. We urge you once again to refrain from trying to mislead public opinion and to exercise self-respect to protect the value of artists.
