Min Hee Jin Makes SHOCKING Claims About Bang PD, Exposes Her Chat With Him About Aespa: 'He Asked If...'

The ADOR‘s CEO Min Hee Jin has made a few shocking allegations against Hybe Corporation’s chairperson, Bang Si-Hyuk, better known as Bang PD. She held a press conference in South Korea after Hybe organised an audit of her company, ADOR (home to the girl group NewJeans). HYBE has an 80% stake in the company while Min Hee Jin and her allies have the remaining 20%. At the press conference, she denied the various allegations made by Hybe and share her chats with Bang PD.

Min Hee Jin claimed that Bang PD wanted to make a new girl group label and decided that buying Source Music would be a good plan. Min Hee Jin said she was not on board at first but decided to be cooperative since she was new to the system.

I’m the kind of person who has to start everything from scratch, but I thought that I would bend to his will (…) I know that it would have been best for me to spend my own money and make a label. The reason I joined the company was that it had a set system. The family, the employees, it was easier for me to pay them. But if you make a new company, you inevitably become poor,” she said, as translated by Kpop Charts.

She then claimed that Bang PD brought up the girl group aespa and asked Min Hee Jin if she could ‘crush’/beat them. Min Hee Jin shared screenshots of her KakaoTalk with Bang PD in which the latter’s message read, “You can crush aespa, right? Heh.” Min Hee Jin replied with a laugh. Bang Si Hyuk replied, “Hahaha. I’m leaving it to you then (emoji). Let’s have a drink soon.” The chat reportedly dated back to 2021.

Speaking about the exchange, Min Hee Jin said, “I thought that he was a really generous person, but I found that he was different on the outside from how he was on the inside.”

The press conference was held on Thursday, April 25.
