In a recent court decision, Min Hee Jin, a well-known figure in the music industry, won her legal battle against HYBE. The court ruled in favor of her request for an injunction, marking a significant victory. This decision means that HYBE must comply with certain legal restrictions as a result of the ruling. Min Hee Jin’s case has attracted a lot of attention, highlighting important issues in the entertainment world.
Court Ruling Backs Min Hee Jin’s Injunction Against HYBE
On May 30, reports revealed that the 50th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of Min Hee Jin. This means she will continue her role as the CEO of ADOR for the foreseeable future. With this legal win, HYBE will not be able to exercise its voting rights regarding Min Hee Jin’s proposed dismissal at their shareholders meeting scheduled for the 31st.
If the injunction had not been granted, HYBE could have used its 80% shareholder rights to force Min Hee Jin to step down from her position as CEO of NewJeans’ label ADOR. It was reported that HYBE had proposed her dismissal for consideration at the shareholders meeting and had already nominated a new board of directors for ADOR. However, if HYBE replaces ADOR’s board of directors as planned, Min Hee Jin is expected to face significant management restrictions.
Netizens expressed their relief and support, with comments such as, “I’m so relieved. Please stay with NewJeans for 100 years,” “HYBE was attacking her without any evidence,” and “Those who said she had no chance of winning didn’t know what they were talking about. Min Hee Jin won because of her contract, not emotions.”
