Min Hee Jin Addresses Emotional Struggles Faced by BTS, LE SSERAFIM, And ILLIT
During a recent press conference, ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin addressed questions from reporters. One reporter inquired about her thoughts on the emotional distress experienced by members of BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT due to ongoing feuds and circulating rumors online.
In response, Min Hee Jin shared her honest perspective:
“I believe NewJeans has also been hurt, and that everyone has been affected by this. I am human too, right? One of our [ADOR] members made an impressive comment, saying, ‘It seems like people think Min Hee Jin is not human.’ But I am human, and so are others, and all the members are human too.
Instead of singling out anyone, I want to emphasize that if we truly want to avoid hurting anyone—journalists included—we need to stop discussing this matter altogether. If we care about them, we should refrain from mentioning them. Healing requires compromise. We need to have conversations and find new ways to move forward.”
Netizens largely supported Min Hee Jin’s remarks, noting that the issues involving BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT were initially brought up by the media, not by Min Hee Jin herself.
Some comments included:
“I can’t believe some people are still trying to split up those members and decide who was hurt more. All those kids were hurt.”
“LOL are some of those journalists still siding with HYBE?”
“For some, it was less about being ‘hurt’ and more about rethinking their entire career process.”
“I think NewJeans members have suffered the most during this ordeal.”
“Who really hurt them though? It wasn’t Min Hee Jin herself.”
“How sad that the same journalists who used those idols’ names are now doing it again to Min Hee Jin, trying to make her feel guilty to get some answer out of her.”
“Whoa, this was such a HYBE-biased comment.”
