Min Hee Jin demanded an internal investigation into the increase in first-week album sales through advanced purchases.

On the morning of May 17 at KST, the 50th civil court division of the Seoul Central District Court convened for a hearing in the ongoing legal dispute between HYBE Labels and CEO Min Hee Jin. Min Hee Jin filed a lawsuit against HYBE and requested that the court ban them from voting at ADOR's meeting later this month. This article continues from the earlier posts, stating that legal reps exchange accusatory remarks at a civil court hearing. The full contents of an email sent by Min Hee Jin to HYBE executives were revealed during the court hearing. The company insisted that NewJeans would be able to beat aes pa in first-week sales with the tactic of advanced purchasing 100,000 albums. This tactic is pervasively used in all of the labels, so I turned down the suggestion. Min Hee Jin's email mentioned other shocking suspicions, and I must request a transparent investigation and proper measures in response to any cases of exchanges negotiated under the condition of returns. The producer claimed that HYBE was negotiating payments with overseas producers over issues of plagiarism, and that the brand partnership department went behind ADOR's back to secure a brand endorsement deal for LE SSERAFIM with a brand which initially wanted to work. The full translation of email will follow.
