In the midst of the intense battle between Min Hee Jin and the HYBE group, not only NewJeans and ILLIT were affected, but recently, female CEO ADOR accused a series of plagiarism groups, including BTS and an SM music group. Entertainment.

On April 22, the media focus turned to the drama of the management rights dispute between ADOR - NewJeans's management company and HYBE group. Accordingly, HYBE accused ADOR of leaking business and personnel secrets to the outside, intentionally creating negative public opinion with the aim of taking over management.

On the same afternoon, Min Hee Jin and ADOR gave a response denying the audit from HYBE, revealing that the conflict originated from "the plagiarism controversy of the group's subsidiaries". Min Hee Jin confirmed that HYBE plagiarized NewJeans for the new girl group ILLIT. ADOR's announcement strongly attacked ILLIT's image and flooded NewJeans with controversy.

The NewJeans - ILLIT replica is not only made by BELIFT LAB but also has the involvement of HYBE. HYBE, a leading Kpop company, is blindly copying successful cultural content for short-term benefits. I have never allowed or sympathized with anyone copying NewJeans' achievements," Min Hee Jin stated.

On the morning of April 23, Min Hee Jin attracted more names with accusations of copying NewJeans. Specifically, in an internal interview at HYBE, CEO Min is said to have said: "ILLIT copies NewJeans, TWS copies NewJeans, RIIZE also copies NewJeans".

Min Hee Jin caused controversy when she intentionally attacked artists from the same group, even calling the SM male group RIIZE, which has nothing to do with her, to justify accusations of violating business principles. BTS was dragged into the controversy while the group was in the army, and had nothing to do with ADOR's controversy. Meanwhile, key questions are not clearly answered.

Until now, the dispute between Min Hee Jin and HYBE has not been resolved. The two sides continuously turned the situation around, announcing disadvantages and "attacking" each other. Many sources believe that NewJeans and her family are on the side of the female CEO. In this battle, people are worried that NewJeans will be the most disadvantaged side when Min Hee Jin does not have enough convincing arguments and HYBE is the strongest entertainment force in Kpop.
