i hope they get audited sooner... hybe too...

if they continue to pursue new laws for that then people who were mocking hanni will shut up

block them. the more attention they get the more they'll speak BS. it's already proven that NJ are victims, yet they spread lies. gotta ignore them so they go away own their on

i really just want newjeans to keep ip, does anyone know the chances of that

cosmic belfry
#

HYBE could play nice and just take the % revenue for it

stiff prairie
#

very low i think cause even if contract termination is valid doesn't mean ip transfer would be valid too. also i think unless hybe is at brink of bankrupcy they're gonna be petty and valuate it absurdly high so no one buys it either

karmic thunder
#

ive been so out of this idk what happening anyway

runic knoll
#

MHJ resigned from both HYBE and ADOR

in 1 week they're looking to file for termination lawsuit. is the right word. they'll still be active as newjeans until injunction case

#

Still, best of all, Danni's sister Olivia is well connected to Warner brother's Korea.

#

And the girls are too loved in Korea to not redebut.

i understand why mhj unfollowed ador, but why did she also unfollow newjeans

Why were people so not ready to assume NewJeans would be terminating their contracts until MHJ resigned today? Is it just lots of people misunderstanding the situation?

#

im happy for the girls regardless of the end result. what theyre doing is brave & setting a healthy precedent for future groups in the industry

#
  • theyre young, they have a long life ahead of them which they have a right in choosing where/what they want to do

what does ador even do if they dont have newjeans

#

i mean if its under a completely new msnagement and with no artists/no money, and no vision/creative directions, i doubt that ador would stay

waxen musk
#

I know I've yapped so much about being excited for their future but I was only feeling that logically with my head. Today is the first day I feel it emotionally.
What do we reckon for how long it takes to set up a new group. Is July redebut realistic? (I know people want even sooner than that.)

Its being talked about in the tokkiville community on twitter i thinks its to put pressure on hybe to terminate the contracts

Dont know they r still sorting stuff out about how it will go

#

can they release the songs they were supposed to release outside hybe?

wind monolith

I feel like they should be able to no? Did ador trademarks nj1 songs yet i think it depends on thay

#

will their music still be up on streaming platforms??

#

if not i will become billionare and buy out their ip

short laurel
#

They will remain up for streaming. N if u have the ability to become a billionaire. Pls become one n buyout hybe n kick those executives!

hoary frost
#

getting out of the company is not as easy as it looks. now with mhj out of horizon , hybe might decide to keep nj as part of their porfolio . so they will make harder for the girls to leave the company. mhj is a good producer , but i doubt she has a three-cushion mindset. and hybe has enought money to hire a good law firm. so everything about nj is uncertain .

leaden pawn
#

we've already seen the works of hybe and their top law firm for 7 months lmao, they've been consistently digging their own grave

With all the stuff revealed there's higher probability of court granting girls contract termination than not.

They are expected to file for contract termination lawsuit next week. They will remain active until courts decision. Which could take long. For injunction suit 2-3 month minimum, while main lawsuit can take years.

I think theres an option like that

I didn't know that. I'll look into that

Thank you

so how much will it take to terminate?

Expect 2-3 months on positive side

Just the court siding with nj will take some months

Suffer for 5 more years vs unreasonable debt

Lets just wish that dont happen

#

Yea unless they get it reduced, that fee is basically what they would make for the company over the remainder of their contract.

wind monolith
#

Unlikely it will since nj have lots of evidence they just have to link it too clauses in their conteact

short laurel
#

Also not hybe but ador legally speaking. In everything we said above

The amount hybe mediaplay stated is not true. Real amount would be much lower than that. Still too high for current nj.

Lawsuit with Source Music is set for 10 January 2025

wind monolith
#

all the lawsuits happening in january😭

sage pilot
#

Belift and SouMu filed around the same time, if not on the same day, so it makes sense

#

Belift is suing 2 billion won for damages, SouMu is suing for 500 million won for the same reason

frosty echo
#

who is then suing mhj for her damages, to make it fair

lyric geyser
#

Not just for Kpop, but the entire world

lyric geyser
frosty echo
#

what did soumu do

wind monolith
#

i think u got it mixed up

frosty echo
#

ah 😐

wind monolith
#

MHJ did not start a hate train on ILLIT. Everyone was saying they looked like NewJeans way before this drama started.

She even made an internal complaint to BELIFT but HYBE made it public to damage her image so she obviously had to do that press conference to protect her group

lyric geyser
# frosty echo what did soumu do

Release private informations about the members and unquestionably explicit videos of them when they were minors without their consent, arguing it’s a "leak"

vague shore
#

Those lawsuits are nothing more than harassment HYBE's PR head even admitted they filed them to 'take care of the artist's mental health https://news.nate.com/view/20241014n43128

We still have to wait for the 27th for everything right? Not that it's long to wait I just don't know if anything that would happen on the 27th could happen a few days earlier.

#

Also they have a lot booked for December and I think we all assume they'll continue those activities but if all of the ADOR staff leaves soon, how will that work out for those activities?

#

I think just conceptually doing that last KGMA performance and that dance practice and then continuing to do more performances after that would be weird anyway. I wouldn't expect them to replicate that performance any more.

does anyone know what are the labor laws in other country? like china or japan, do they see celebrities as worker or not?

#

I don't know about Asia but in France artists can be seen as workers, depending on the situation

steel depot

#

I'm hoping they re-debut sooner than later by next year. I'm not a fan of what MHJ is doing IMHO because the girls truly wanted her back without needing to terminate their contract.

Hi

wind monolith
modern fog
#

here we goooooooo

wind monolith
#

i dont see anything im blind in my right eye

dapper root
#

but idk i think leaking it to the public that big was for sure a horrible move

#

min heejin needed to hire a pr team or some shit bro that press conference felt like a fever dream

wind monolith
#

My left eye is deaf and mute

dapper root
#

but dragging illlit which ive seen multiple fandoms do including this one it sucks big time

jolly junco
#

sigh MHJ cant even defend herself without people getting the wrong idea

wind monolith
dapper root
wind monolith
#

But she was emotional and alot was going on

dapper root
#

yeah

#

it all felt very reactionary which you realistically dont want from your company ceo

wind monolith
#

But if the company was not doing anything she had to bring it up too or else it would go under the rug

jolly junco
#

she wasnt a public figure, she as a creator getting attacked left right and center and people plastered her as villain (with HYBE mediaplay of course)

of course she wanted to defend her dignity, reputation AND her works

dapper root
#

i wouldnt say she wasnt a public figure

slender jungle
#

the moment she said she was doing a press conference she became a public figure

hoary frost
#

plastered her as a villain

dapper root
#

she made herself a public figure like in pre debut

hoary frost
dapper root
#

with interviews and even the instagram

hoary frost
#

she often posted her inspo shit on insta i swear

dapper root
#

her name was mentioned all over every news article about ā€œador’s new girl groupā€

#

it was all min heejin min heejin min heejin

hoary frost
#

this server wouldn't have existed without her name being a big thing

dapper root
#

or articles like min heejin shows how much she pays them

jolly junco
#

allright she was a public figure then, but not in the way as celebrities i mean

young wyvern
dapper root
#

or min heejin does this

#

sure because shes not supposed to be view in a way like a celebrity shes a chair head

#

the people in suits you would call it

#

i just never understood her being so adamant to be in the spotlight even in that press conference i think it took her a long time to even mention the girls themselves 😭

#

it was alot of yapping for the most part so its hard to remember the order of things

jolly junco
#

well my point is, she has the right to defend her reputation which was slandered by HYBE

how else can she do that without saying the things she need to say in PC? with a big conglomerate corporation attacking you

wind monolith
#

And how else would she bring the plagiarism allegations thru a lawsuit against ur own companies label? I feel like that would have been even worse

jolly junco
dapper root
#

how can i put myself in a shoes of a multi millionaire korean ceo?

young wyvern
#

i mean i can understand why she needs to defend herself and the girls

dapper root
#

feels like at times its more about herself than the girls but

#

thats from an outsiders pov

young wyvern
#

ya i do think the reason why this whole thing started is because $$$

shut kelp
dapper root
#

i dont know the answer to that but why do you think she did good?

shut kelp
#

hybe never wanted to resolve this in private

dapper root
#

i think it did more damage than good

shut kelp
#

why do u think that?

sage pilot
dapper root
#

for um good reasons and bad haha

heady gate
harsh doveBOT
dapper root
# shut kelp why do u think that?

well again i think the dragging of illlit into the whole thing wasn’t needed and the whole press conference was very reactionary

sage pilot
dapper root
#

how?

wind monolith
dapper root
#

she shouldn’t have brought it up at all?

shut kelp
#

how i see it is mhj wanted newjeans to be more respected in hybe the fact they made an exact copy of newjeans in the same company is crazy idk how ppl dont see it. the girls talked about being bullied in the company since forever

dapper root
#

what good does it for newjeans

sage pilot
# dapper root how?

Please read every tweet here. This acc debunked most of the staff about her past 2 years ago https://x.com/expmhj/status/1552490114130923522?s=46

Here’s a detailed thread on the current situation surrounding ADOR’s CEO Min Heejin and her group NewJeans.

It includes official sources, provides context and is not biased. Consider retweeting this so it can reach a bigger audience.

#NewJeans #ė‰“ģ§„ģŠ¤ #MinHeejin

it doesn’t bring good it just causes more infighting

wind monolith

she complained to hybe in private and hybe ignored it

using international age

lol bro what?

There was no way around mentioning the plagiarism if she wanted to show why she believed it was retaliation. Even if she mentioned it without naming the group, people would have figured it out because there was already discussion about it because it was so obvious.

that one company is better than the other why because they do the bare minimum

other idols have before for this sort of thing

lol I didn't realise you were a mod.
It's good to get to the truth about MHJ but things are still so messy. I see more and more complete debunking on stuff I was not 100% confident I knew about and just feel more confident in supporting her. I started off so against her in so many ways. But as always and I'll repeat this a thousand times, if the girls, their parents, tons of people who's worked with over the years still support her, there must be a strong reason for it.
I care so much about the girls I really want to make sure they are with good company so please don't stop letting your doubts out there. I'll always have doubts and I'd love more than anything for all of those doubts to disappear.

dapper root
#

very well spoken

waxen musk
#

I'm eagerly awaiting @thegreatgaram on Twitter's MHJ debunking thread she's been working on for a long time and @talytokki's TikTok video that hopefully follows. They've both mentioned working on these.

#

Has anyone who's worked with MHJ spoken against her? Is it literally all media play or stuff she's "done" or pics on her wall? Has any specific person talked about her in a negative way (outside of BSH etc. ofc)? I'm asking because I don't know.

jolly junco
waxen musk
jolly junco
#

so far everyone who worked with her in the past never said anything bad about her, and i'm sure HYBE has been digging about her past as much as they can and found nothing

dapper root
#

well i think thats also because shes paying their bills

#

keeping their lights on

waxen musk

There's a ton of people she worked with in the past that she no longer pays.

what mhj just didnt do her job for ice cream cake and stood up for it?

she would get fired

no money

I need to look into this Ice Cream Cake stuff. Let me read that thread above.

jolly junco
#

@waxen musk this is 1 of the example by what i said before, no matter what you did, some people will never bother to learn the truth or simply ignorant

dapper root
#

but there is truth to the min heejin thing

waxen musk
#

Well I'm ignorant about what this case even is in the first place. Let me read quick.

dapper root
#

even the thread says ā€œshe was just doing her jobā€

which is a cop out

#

and the thing with taemin

#

like said before 20 would the the age of adulthood in korea

#

the way she describes that shoot as a ā€œgift to the noonasā€ is sick!!

its okay to disagree with mhj as a person

whos she

waxen musk
#

Sorry I'm still learning but what did MHJ work on for Ice Cream Cake specifically? The thread said she didn't work on lyrics or style, but just "concept design". What does this mean?

dapper root

the overall concept of the album

like the idea

heady gate

well, you need to tell the girls, why are u telling us

wind monolith

how can i tell the girls

dapper root
waxen musk
# dapper root like the idea

Well yeah it's hard to refute that if this is true (again I'm new to this Ice Cream Cake sitatuion) then yeah I can't support what MHJ did at all. But I'd like for more sources and if anyone else has anything to say about it.

dapper root
#

it is true

#

she was working for sm at the time and the thread itself just puts in a copium

#

ā€œshe was just doing her jobā€

I just wish I knew what she did specifically, you're just saying "the idea". If that's the case, it's a horrible "idea". If it's not like that, I'd love to know too.

# dapper root i think people should have the girls best interests in mind and not hers

LOL you think we didnt? what should the girls said for you to finally understand that MHJ is not at fault for everything that has happened? They have said many times before, that they are in this shit with MHJ together, whether you like it nor not

now i know you gonna say "dont blindly trust what the girls said about MHJ"

but you were saying that we should have the girls best interest in mind, why are you contradicting yourself so much

how can your opinion on her as a person are any better when you havent even read any of her interview? not the interview after April 2024, but her past interview before all of this happen

imo i don’t care abt mhj and everyone is gonna be ā€œevilā€, but it’s clear that she’s the only one along with the og ador staff that had rhe most amount of care for them

it’s not easy to just start independently when ur going against a whole ass conglomerate that controls the media + government connections + hella company stans 😭 maybe it was easier for exid bc the company they were in wasn’t as big

jolly junco

he/she want us to have the girls best interest in mind, but doesnt want to hear the girls wishes

Can someone explain to me why idols from her past work supported her?

waxen musk
# cerulean lake and yes i think that mhj could have tried not mentioning the other groups to the...
  • NJ parent's and MHJ were concerned about ILLIT plagarism around their debut.
  • MHJ, protecting NJ's interests primarily, asked Hybe about it in a document
  • Hybe hates that she even asks, attacks her
  • The press come out saying things about all different groups saying MHJ said this and that when she didn't
  • MHJ has a press conference to explain herself and what she did and didn't say and now that what was private in a document is now public she has to explain that too

Where's the problem with what MHJ did at the press conference? I still struggle to understand that stance.

hoary frost

I still don't know what the fuck you are trying to say

in conclusion i just want nwjns to go back to the same happy mood they had before and all of these stupid company executives should go bankrupt and never come back

If she's as terrible as some think, the I would really like to know why Krystal celebrated her birthday with her in like 2018, and why Taemin collected award on her behalf and said he is close to her in 2016?

where was all this energy when beli’ft’s vid dropped and they mentioned a billion groups

Time will tell

damn bringing up krystal is crazy

Btw literally so far the only thing I'm truly iffy about is this Ice Cream Cake thing I JUST learnt about. Everything else I'm not so concerned about so far.

And why Bada and Eugene, the very first idols she worked with supported her just a few months ago?

saying happy birthday to her = supporting her publicly

great logic

It kinda is tho. People don't just publicly say Happy Birthday to random people.

Anyway that's such a tiny point to focus on.

i swear she hung out w krystal not too long ago

upbeat stream
#

She celebrated Krystal's birthday with her

anyway that’s not the concern but let’s just say that it’s not like the whole industry is hating on mhj at this point, which has to mean smth even if we don’t like her

also i kinda find the bts shaman thing weird bc wasn’t it a mistranslation when it broke out??

upbeat stream

I don't know the full truth so I choose to trust nwjns

like she just asked the shaman when the members were going to the military so she could time when its best for nwjns debut/comeback or smth?

theres receipts iirc

Everything she's done for NJ I support her 100%. A few things before NJ I'm a bit iffy on and haven't learnt what's happening in a way I'm confident in speaking about. But seriously she's only done everything to benefit NJ and give them everything they deserve. Money, amazing living conditions, plenty of breaks, respect, contributions to their work, etc.

dapper root

and im not saying that with anger

In the meantime, the fans would still buy NJ stuffs which mostly designed and managed by MHJ.

I've stopped caring about Hybe. We can shit on them all we like but they kind of will stop affecting us in the near future. MHJ however I care about because I want to know the truth and dispel any doubts about her, and she'll continue to be a big part of the girls' future.

I don't think any of us can discuss it in a way that works to resolve anything. I personally just want to know the truth and make up my mind based on that. The fact I don't know the truth is why I continue to have doubts even if I have NO doubts about how MHJ has treated NJ so well since 2022.

@nwjns1st That’s Duncan Hannah artwork; probably wasn’t a good idea by her to do an interview with these on her wall knowing the general public don’t know his art style or references lol. From what I remember these were gifted to her during one of his exhibitions in Seoul after he passed

Explaining what the painting are, that they are paintings and not the photos (that keep getting shared by antis), and her ignorance of the context of the paintings, and how she received them.

From a famous painter, and she didn't know how the artwork was questionable until everyone has been talking about it after she posted on IG. Also the paintings aren't "questionable" if they're appropriate aged subjects?

is it bcuz u think the woman in the painting is underaged?

I'm butting in here to say that it's stupid to argue about not liking mhj, ok to think like that I don't like her either but between her and a company that has had cases of death...

My question is why this discussion is not being moderated anymore. People, mods included, are spamming random messages and rage baiting. It’s happened again and again. Either moderate this discussion or close it and only open it when big news happens, like previous mods did.

Ruling Party’s Woo Jae-jun Proposes Bill to Prevent Harassment of Cultural and Arts Workers
https://n.news.naver.com/article/088/0000916254?sid=100
By Lee Min-ho

Workers in the entertainment and cultural arts industries, who often fall into legal blind spots, may soon receive legal protections against workplace harassment.

Representative Woo Jae-jun of the People Power Party (ėŒ€źµ¬ 북구갑) announced on the 21st that he had introduced a bill to amend the Framework Act on the Development of Popular Culture and Arts Industry. The bill aims to prevent workplace harassment by prohibiting acts that exploit power dynamics or relationships to inflict physical or mental distress or to worsen working conditions for cultural and arts workers.

While the K-pop industry continues to thrive, lesser-known entertainers and trainees often face workplace harassment but lack the legal protections available to employees in other fields.

For example, a recent complaint involving alleged workplace harassment of NewJeans member Hanni attracted public attention. However, on November 20, the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office ruled that Hanni could not be considered an employee under the Labor Standards Act, effectively closing the case.

Representative Woo emphasized that ā€œnot only high-profile figures like NewJeans’ Hanni but also many lesser-known entertainers and trainees exist in legal blind spots, unprotected by labor laws. To protect these individuals, we need broader legal and institutional measures capable of covering a wide range of workers.ā€

[Exclusive] HYBE, the 'Top-Tier Company,' Faces Allegations of Restrictive Clauses for Former Employees
Reporter Lee Seon-myeong

-Non-Compete and Non-Litigation Agreements Forced on General Employees
-Experts Criticize: "Inhumane, a Tool for Worker Suppression"
-Unprecedented Even in the Entertainment Industry

HYBE, recognized as a "top-tier employer," is under scrutiny for allegedly imposing excessive restrictions on former employees through non-compete agreements and non-litigation clauses.

Reports reveal that HYBE has required former employees, including those from its labels like ADOR, to sign confidentiality agreements that include problematic non-compete clauses. These clauses stipulate that employees:

The contentious clause in the confidentiality agreement is the "non-compete" provision. HYBE has required many former employees to agree to the following terms:

  • Prohibition from employment or collaboration with competitors or similar businesses within one year of resignation.

  • Prohibition from establishing or operating competing or similar businesses within one year of resignation.

This effectively means that employees leaving HYBE are barred from working in the entertainment industry or similar fields. The signing of these agreements was overseen by Kim Joo-young, the current CEO of ADOR and Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO).

Experts point out that such agreements are not legally enforceable for general employees without additional benefits, as they infringe on individuals’ freedom to choose their profession.

Non-compete agreements are typically implemented in technology-intensive industries, such as semiconductors, to prevent the leakage of proprietary information. However, there are growing concerns that HYBE's use of such agreements within the entertainment industry imposes excessive restrictions.

Industry professionals pointed out that while agreements concerning confidentiality

— or copyright are common for certain job roles, requiring non-compete agreements from non-executive employees is unprecedented even in the entertainment industry. One insider even remarked, ā€œIsn’t HYBE itself a company that grew by recruiting talent from other entertainment agencies?ā€

An anonymous labor consultant criticized the practice, saying, ā€œThese agreements are essentially ineffective and a waste of paper, as they lack legal validity. They appear to be a tool to suppress workers by unfairly infringing on their fundamental right to choose their occupation.ā€ The consultant added, ā€œGiven that in-house legal experts likely informed the company of the lack of enforceability, the insistence on these agreements suggests strong involvement by the company’s leadership. To departing employees, this could be perceived as coercive pressure aimed at deterring them from leaving.ā€

Attorney Noh Jong-eon of Law Firm ģ”“ģž¬ highlighted the overreach of HYBE's non-compete clauses, stating, "The scope of these clauses is so broad that they risk infringing on employees' freedom to choose their profession. According to the Supreme Court, non-compete agreements are only valid when they impose reasonable limitations to protect an employer's business interests, as the right to work and freedom of occupation are fundamental rights."

#

—Noh added, "Even if an employee consents to a non-compete agreement, it becomes invalid if it lacks reasonableness or fails to meet strict legal criteria."

Additionally, HYBE has reportedly required some departing employees to sign "non-litigation agreements," preventing them from filing lawsuits related to any issues that occurred during their tenure. While such agreements are sometimes part of settlements in cases involving disputes, HYBE has allegedly applied them even to employees leaving without any legal conflicts.

The company has also set the preservation period for confidentiality agreements to "permanent," which violates data protection laws. According to labor and data protection laws, employment records must be retained for three years after an employee's departure and destroyed within five days after that period. Noh noted, "Keeping such records beyond the legal retention period is a violation of data protection laws unless the former employee consents to their use for specific purposes like issuing certificates of employment."

Attorney Noh stated, ā€œPersonnel-related documents must not be retained beyond the legally mandated storage period. Once this period expires, they must be destroyed within five days, and failure to do so may constitute a violation of data protection laws. However, with the consent of a former employee, documents necessary for purposes such as issuing certificates of employment can be retained.ā€

A seniour HR executive from a global company stated, "Most global companies require confidentiality and non-compete agreements at the time of hiring to prevent issues like technology leaks. When non-compete clauses are implemented, they are generally accompanied by reasonable compensation."

The executive added, "This seems to be a method of exerting pressure, but there’s little a company can do in such cases. The interpretation can vary depending on whether the agreement applies to all positions or only to specific ones."

Attorney Noh commented, ā€œRequiring departing employees to sign broad non-litigation agreements, especially in the absence of a concrete dispute, constitutes a severe infringement of workers' rights and could be deemed invalid according to Supreme Court precedents as an anti-humanitarian provision.ā€

Regarding the matter, HYBE stated, "The documents required upon an employee's resignation undergo legal review and are handled at a level consistent with industry norms. The non-compete clause aims to prevent employees from joining or engaging in similar businesses that may compromise the company’s trade secrets within a year of their departure, considering the creative and content-driven nature of the industry."

HYBE further clarified, "The non-litigation agreement acknowledges that company assets used or created during employment remain the property of the company and precludes lawsuits related to issues arising during the period of employment. As for the preservation period, it refers to the duration for which documents are stored, not the permanent effectiveness of the document itself."

This clause is interesting.

Upon termination, The agency shall transfer trademark rights to the artist….agency may request appropriate compensation…

Meaning Agency can’t refuse transfer.

HYBE might request crazy compensation but the reasonableness is determined in court.

I only see the Belift one against MHJ being called a civil lawsuit. MHJ's counterclaim against Belift, it doesn't say, does it?

On November 22, former CEO Min Hee-jin announced through an email to reporters, "On this day, I filed a complaint against Belief Lab's CEO Kim Tae-ho, Vice CEO Choi Yoon-hyeok, Heo Se-ryeon, Lee Ga-jun, etc. at the Yongsan Police Station for defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act. In addition, I am filing a lawsuit against Belief Lab for 5 billion won in damages."

Previously, the CEO of Belief Lab claimed that the civil lawsuit filed by Belief Lab was delayed due to Min Hee-jin. Regarding this, Min Hee-jin stated, "This is clearly false. The counterclaim filed by former CEO Min Hee-jin is expected to be heard at the first hearing in January next year, so I ask Belief Lab to cooperate diligently."

it doesnt say if mhj is civil or not tho it says belift one is

#

I hope that they will be given criminal punishment commensurate with their crimes, and that they will be recognized as liable for damages." this makes it seems like its criminal tho
