if they continue to pursue new laws for that then people who were mocking hanni will shut up
especially other fandom who harassing her
exactly
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
Idk the probability too
HYBE could play nice and just take the % revenue for it
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
ive been so out of this idk what happening anyway
MHJ resigned from both HYBE and ADOR
i see

she's going to be min hee genes
Min Hee cargo trousers
Is this misinformation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNKWBTGCcLk
Not disbanding, rebranding
So yeah please let the OP of the video know it's misinformation.
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
I think cuz nj wont be nj anymore so there is no point of following another hybe account. Dont look into it too much. Realistically she could have done it after nj acc left hybe.

I don't like them because of the name "NewJeans", I like them because they are Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein so no whatever their name is I will still like them.
Sniper back at it again how do I block on twitter š¹š¹š¹š¹
use something like red block so you can block all the people that like the posts
if such a thing still exists
Bernice gonna lose some weight and will be back
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?
Some ppl r not up to date with the drama which makes sense
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

honestly there are completely delusional people like me and holding onto every last string of hope that HYBE were gonna see their superstars walking away and make a full 180 to do everything in their power to make them happy to keep them so the girls wouldn't have to fight to keep their name š

what does ador even do if they dont have newjeans
probably dissolve
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
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.)
im excited for their freedom but also it is gonna HURT not calling them newjeans anymore like its such an iconic nsme
ador will disband
i would laugh 
honestly i wont be surprised if fador/hybe trys to re debut newjeans with new members....

Im not even saying anythingš
When contracts collide and truths come to light
NewJeans will rise,
their future stays bright
With fans by their side,
theyāll soar to the sky
Because⦠NewJeans Never Die!
b word flagged
Ahh i see
I hear people saying they have disbanded? Or is it just cause itās very obvious they will? Cause yeah honestly itās kind of obvious they are getting out of the company
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
They r leaving the company so they will be rebranding
that would be horrible for the "new members" honetsly
can they release the songs they were supposed to release outside hybe?
I feel like they should be able to no? Did ador trademarks nj1 songs yet i think it depends on thay
absolutely on brand for hybe then
will their music still be up on streaming platforms??
if not i will become billionare and buy out their ip
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!
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 .
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.
i think newjeans and mhj wouldnt be doing this if there wasnt more stuff that they had on hybe that we dont know about
Mhj wanted to exit with nj from hybe from the beginning of this year . It is part of the hybe conflict. But now hybe controlling nj . The only way is paying those fees plus other clauses. And nj is not willing to pay that price yet.
guys i just opened instagram and i saw this video saying that the girls willl be disbanding in 2 weeks? i dont know if its true or not
not true
Again. Contract termination lawsuit.
they are leaving ador/hybe and are going to redebut
omg the number times thatās been asked š these update kpop accs suck
i donāt blame u for being confused tho bc social media likes to twist things around
yes so much misinformation and lack of consistent information šš just watch talytokki on tiktok tbh shes the best at posting good info
I can't open social media without seeing misinformation post on my feeds. N comments full of hybe stans spreading lies
those ppl who always ask for sources better not be the same ppl looking at accs like sniper and jinjjins as a source š¤£
praying they go take english or history or any language class to find out what a primary source is
Thankfully all mine is pro nj twitter sometimes is dumb but mostly fine
Twt mine is pro nj after alot of blocking. My tiktok is gone wrong. It used to be pure music
It will take more than 2 weeks , maybe months
Rebranding tho not disbanding
Reset ur tiktok feedš
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
Setttings,content preference,refresh your for u feed
Thank you
so how much will it take to terminate?
Still more than months .
Oh ya that fs
Expect 2-3 months on positive side
I do not know how long took 1/2 1/2 to try to leave the company and fail
i feel kinda sad abt it :((
Diff situation entirely
Chance of fail is low. Court have granted contract termination to idols for management change many times in past. Nj has that + more.
if nwjs leaves hybe will they have to pay?
If court side with nj then no.
then if they donāt side with them they will just be in a giant debt + a shitty company?
Hybe pride is so big
i want to be optimistic but after mhj was dismissed the second one idk anymore šµāš«
if they win i also would like those brands to sue hybe to oblivion
plz make them in more debt!!
They wont have to be with hybe still but theres higher chance of winning thdn losing imo
Just the court siding with nj will take some months
They will remain in hybe. But chances of nj winning is high so stay positive
but thatās if hybe doesnāt sue them
There should be pinned message FAQs for current situation, in main channel probably
Wait rlly? If they pay the termination fee they can leave no?
i feel both sad that they wonāt be nwjns anymore but i am happy bc they will be okay
then they wonāt have to pay
Yea but who could afford that amount.
Oh ya tru i forgot the fee was enormous
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.
Unlikely it will since nj have lots of evidence they just have to link it too clauses in their conteact
Also not hybe but ador legally speaking. In everything we said above
wtf
The amount hybe mediaplay stated is not true. Real amount would be much lower than that. Still too high for current nj.
yeah itās still in the billions
Billions of won*
which is still in the million dollars
Yea
D-6
less than a week
Public backlash would be huge to both nj n hybe lol
N there are multiple real court cases going on over this
yeah lol but if the multiverse is real, this happened in a universe
and one where haerin is actually a cat 
iām so depressed, character ai is down and nwjns will not be nwjns anymore
They will come back stronger chin up
Mhj left? When?
i think she left today

Lawsuit with Source Music is set for 10 January 2025
all the lawsuits happening in januaryš
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
who is then suing mhj for her damages, to make it fair
January is going to be a big month
Not just for Kpop, but the entire world
What did she do?
what did soumu do
ah š
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
Release private informations about the members and unquestionably explicit videos of them when they were minors without their consent, arguing itās a "leak"
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

Itās said by Asahi that most of the ADOR staff who work with her will soon resign together. š
Freedom for MHJ, NJ and OG ADOR team!! Freedom for everyone!!

They say "most" but it will end up being all because why stay at a company without a group to work for? 
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.
who's Asahi?
Japanese news and TV channel
same. Maybe they will stop next week? Let's see
Waiting 27
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
i hope they can
in ph there are workers rights for contractual workers
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.
i think unreleased music arent trademarked
to this point i think she didnt āstart itā but the press conference forsure didnt help illlit in any regards
even if other people on twitter which is a very silent majority were saying such
you cant say it like that, since its obvious MHJ also wanted the same thing but reality doesnt work that way
so its better if they leave all together
Oh if only the girls didn't become so popular as quickly as they did.
Maybe Hybe would've been gentler on them.
i agree the press conference made it worse, but if hybe didnt ignore her requests it would have never gone that far
but more on compensation and benefits...
I mean come on even BTS didn't make it that big in one year.
Thank GOD. Want that liar and manipulator gone
Hi
š š š in my understanding as a high company its ur job to resolve stuff internally and properly u cant ignore it and expect it to go well
here we goooooooo
i dont see anything im blind in my right eye
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
My left eye is deaf and mute
but dragging illlit which ive seen multiple fandoms do including this one it sucks big time
sigh MHJ cant even defend herself without people getting the wrong idea
Ya i agree press conference could have gone better
what was the right idea in your opinion?
But she was emotional and alot was going on
yeah
it all felt very reactionary which you realistically dont want from your company ceo
But if the company was not doing anything she had to bring it up too or else it would go under the rug
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
i wouldnt say she wasnt a public figure
the moment she said she was doing a press conference she became a public figure
plastered her as a villain
she made herself a public figure like in pre debut

with interviews and even the instagram
she often posted her inspo shit on insta i swear
her name was mentioned all over every news article about āadorās new girl groupā
it was all min heejin min heejin min heejin
this server wouldn't have existed without her name being a big thing
or articles like min heejin shows how much she pays them
allright she was a public figure then, but not in the way as celebrities i mean
in america most musicians are seen as contractors within their labels :/ its common
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 š
it was alot of yapping for the most part so its hard to remember the order of things
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
shes messy af
Well she was the one being audited and getting targeted. So it makes sense y it was more about her
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
dont just look thru an outsider POV, try to look things from her POV as well
i cant do that
how can i put myself in a shoes of a multi millionaire korean ceo?
i mean i can understand why she needs to defend herself and the girls
feels like at times its more about herself than the girls but
thats from an outsiders pov
ya i do think the reason why this whole thing started is because $$$
what is yours? how do u think mhj shoulda handled it? because i think she did good
i dont know the answer to that but why do you think she did good?
hybe never wanted to resolve this in private
i think it did more damage than good
why do u think that?
there was so many articles about MHJ bc sheās very known in kpop, even before NJ
for um good reasons and bad haha
@CakeDegg <t:1732148664:d>
ęę„ę°č [Many staff at ADOR who have supported NewJeansā activities are also set to leave soon]
https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp/news_international/articles/900012635.html
well again i think the dragging of illlit into the whole thing wasnāt needed and the whole press conference was very reactionary
No, for good reasons only. Please educate yourself about her SM days. Youāre very misinformed about her
how?
What other way would she bring up the plagarism issues is my question tho
she shouldnāt have brought it up at all?
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
what good does it for newjeans
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
Hereās a detailed thread on the current situation surrounding ADORās 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§ģ¤ #MinHeejin
it doesnāt bring good it just causes more infighting
Its her job to stop companies from plagiarizing the work done by them, if hybe wont fix it who will
She needed her voice heard
she complained to hybe in private and hybe ignored it
B) Taemin was a minor.
No he wasn't. He was born in July 1993 and Sherlock was released in March 2012. He was 18 years old international age.
this seems like a bit of copium
using international age
Not only that, she has legal obligations to protect NJ and their brand. If she would have allowed Belift to copy freely as they wanted, she couldāve been sued
its the opposite? you add 1 year, he would be 19 in korean age

https://twitter.com/tuanvu9121995/status/1857837742849462406
@hurtsaz Taemin is Min Hee Jin's protege. Back in SM days he sometimes even accepted awards for her because MHJ didn't like to show her face too much. Of course he's gonna support her and NewJeans š„°
i also think um
āJust doing your jobā
About Taemin. Heās for sure doesnāt have any problems with MHJ. Iām tired of kpoppies using him
is the biggest copout ever
imagine if she didnt newjeans woulda been gone
She was a regular employee back then. What choice did she have? You either do your job or get fired
she was the creative director. she chose those routes to go down instead of making age appropriate art
And her art IS age appropriate. ICCās problem is with the lyrics, not with the art
yall dont have to blindly defend everything she does. shes a flawed woman
self reportā¦..
check his hard drive
Uh who?
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.
min heejin
Hey now. MHJ want to protect the girls from workplace bully
yeah this thread sucks im so sorry
Ok Iām done talking to you. You donāt want to hear anything and now youāre accusing me of some bullshit. You can continue to stay ignorant
when you got mhj in your twitter handle i dont think your opinion is unbiased at all
im not accusing you of anything!
im just making an observation
lol bro u just said check his hard drive š¹
you never create something on your own then got plagiarized by other dont you? its very easy for you to say things like this, but every creators out there feels the same way like MHJ did
Can we have some other mod in here
no its never happened to me
there is one
Its crazy to me how the staff,parents,nj support her but we have ppl here who get random info and think she is deff wrong
how is it random info its public information
honestly im curious what do think newjeans should do stay with hybe or go with mhj?
lol the rage baiter mod is back again just ignore him he just comes here to argue for attention
uk in the newjeans chat someone said they should leave both and start again
š
they could just go independent but only a few have done it
like exid bro get that money together!!
fund your own comebacks š£ļø
cao lu W
i dont think u understand how hard that is for a 2 year old group
a 2 year old group who got BAGS
and a whole country behind em
šš
its not too much of an idea
all companies are bad anyway so wanting them to go anywhere is not a W
i dont understand the tribalism when it comes to kpop companies especially
that one company is better than the other why because they do the bare minimum
^^hopefully they wonāt
i hope not
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.
very well spoken
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.
no matter how many debunking thread is out there, even with perfect explanation and sources, some people will not be bothered to learn about the turh and will hold firm on what they believe
only Employee B
I know it's a losing battle. I'm still shocked seeing that 4 million number the other day.
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
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 can argue and say that HYBE can easily pay them more than MHJ if thats what you thought but i wont
of course you gotta say yeah i love my boss my boss is great!
im not trying to get you to say anything
I need to look into this Ice Cream Cake stuff. Let me read that thread above.
@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
but there is truth to the min heejin thing
Well I'm ignorant about what this case even is in the first place. Let me read quick.
even the thread says āshe 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 āgift to the noonasā is sick!!
i dont know why your so admit on keeping a bag over your eyes for some of this stuff
its okay to disagree with mhj as a person
I understand you are telling us about MHJ past. I am fine with that. What is your goal? Are you asking us to dislike MHJ?
he prolly just needs attention
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?
well, you need to tell the girls, why are u telling us
remind me what r the girls best interests?
how can i tell the girls
thats not for me to determine or anyone here to determine
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.
it is true
she was working for sm at the time and the thread itself just puts in a copium
āshe 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.
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
im not saying you thought one way or another
I fear this is just Min Heejin brainwashing
bro itās clear they want her š disagreeing w mhj as a person wonāt change anything atp
canāt say u want the best interest for them when ur gonna disagree with what they think is the best for them
i mean the thread came from reddit so it must be true lol like what do the girls know its not like they are working with her for the past two years how can we trust them
who are "they'?
nwjns of course
and until the final day we dont know NJ going to terminated thier contract look at US election lol
that was a fun day
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 donāt care abt mhj and everyone is gonna be āevilā, but itās clear that sheās the only one along with the og ador staff that had rhe most amount of care for them
itās not easy to just start independently when ur going against a whole ass conglomerate that controls the media + government connections + hella company stans š maybe it was easier for exid bc the company they were in wasnāt as big
he/she want us to have the girls best interest in mind, but doesnt want to hear the girls wishes
talk about hypocrisy
look at jyj and how sm blacklisted them even if they were top stars they only got out of it completrly recently
i donāt necessarily have a problem with them disliking mhj bc iām not gonna be her defender and such but itās disappointing when others make it seem like nwjns are manipulated and canāt think for themselves š¬š
exactly
lol he doesnt really care abt their interest he just wants to be right and make it seem like hes better than everyone in this chat
who's he
The mod damien/minjeans?
a mod
the mod and a whole bunch of people too actually!
i can feel your sarcasm thru my monitor
it is mod and admin
Not again damien
lol im not trying to sound sarcastic im trying to look dumb
since when did damien ever show he thinks he's better than everyone else
and yes i think that mhj could have tried not mentioning the other groups to the best ability she could during the press conference but when you have a whole bunch of allegations against you and so many fandoms saying āu did this, u stole this, etc.ā how else would u not mention them? š
Wallah are we cooked or what gang
eventually people will figure out based on contextual clues as well
dont just dont ,u literally said this
apperently i think this
please repeat with English thanks
lol
they want MHJ to talk with morse code or alien language, anything to avoid name dropping
like gurlsss how can you address something without saying the name
u want me to pu the comma ok
the comma changed fuck all cuh
even when hanni didnt say any name, people still blame her
Please repeat this in english
Can someone explain to me why idols from her past work supported her?
- 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.
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
this sub is going down. It wasn't like this
i have the same thoughts as you. of course, itās gonna be hard for her NOT to bring up names even if she didnāt want to, and when she did, she even said that it was NOT their fault but rather the executives.
źø°ėė ėģė©ėė¤
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 beliāftās 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?
Whats the ice cream cake thing
PLUS how could u not bring it up when hybe was going around saying u were trying to destroy bts with a shaman? PLUS do these ppl not watch kdramas and understand that shamanism is extremely common in korea? if not, i feel like this shamanism thing has been out of control too
Yeri interacted on her ig too
saying happy birthday to her = supporting her publicly
Scroll up a tiny bit lol
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
Umm that's not what I am talking about
She celebrated Krystal's birthday with her
anyway thatās not the concern but letās just say that itās not like the whole industry is hating on mhj at this point, which has to mean smth even if we donāt like her
ya nj and us are definitely fkin brainwashed. its ggs for us totally agree with u
the whole industry got brainwashed by her, maybe she will brainwash US president next

this reminds me of when all this drama broke out everyone was accusing her of causing members to leave groups or smth
mhj the BEST IN THE WORLD
glazing mhj is crazy whether ur a nj fan or not
Oh yeah don't forget all the staff that nwjns trusts
Min Hee-jin groomed all the adults y'all
i will glaze her creative direction (FOR NWJNS) concepts sometimes but not her as a person

PLEASE
god lol
Time will tell what MHJ would do in the future. Just wait and see
lol this ppl really trying to nitpick everything no one here said she's a saint for me personally i support her for what she's doing for NJs
also i kinda find the bts shaman thing weird bc wasnāt it a mistranslation when it broke out??
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
idk i remember reading that but thatās so thatās not even bad š thatās like other companies not wanting to come back at the same time as major groups
so why speak if you dont know the full truth
there is
Are we thinking before we send messages... or......
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.
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 just said that many senior idols and other people that she has worked with support her
Some of u guys r so weird for saying glazing n dickridingā¦js let it go ā ļø
Did I say anything about any specific accusation?
this is giving the same vibe like:
why are you defaming MHJ when you dont know her as a person
He is not going to listen.
but i think from what we have discovered about her
we can make a observation about her and form an opinion about her no?
Dont mind Damien
maybe you havent discovered everything there is to discover
?
whats there more to discover
so you think anything u discovered is the truth?
Hes ragebaiting
look up what min heejins favourite movie is
how is this ragebaiting
it cant be ragebait if your getting angry
that doesnt make it rage bait
can we shit on hybe instead
i think theres some truths in things ive said yes
im not saying its the whole truth
you can do this without knowing anyone personally. everyone does this in politics. Boris Johnson has taken so much slack during his term and so has Rishi Sunak.
im waiting for this
Welcome to K-pop
never gonna stop fanwars YEP
Damien js save urself some face šæ
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.
fire him
?
You man are weird for this icl
We had a same conversation last time and he still couldnt understand
what conversation
i was just asking people their thoughts
and you give me them
and i ask why do you think that
For people here who don't like mhj, ok fine. But what do you want nwjns to do? Side with hybe? I'm guessing not, so like stop arguing and just support them
and then im evil
victim card declined
why is siding with hybe the only other option
Hes an admin in a njs server n he doesnt know who shin woo seok is š¹ and he kinda indirectly said newjeans couldnt think for themselves soā¦
Let's drop this topic of mhj, every time there's discussion on her, it devolves like this
what other option is there? its hybe or mhj lol
you are putting things in my mouth pause
It is, it literally is
Ofc thats wat u focus on š¹š¹
independent
YOU BROUGHT IT UP!! A SECOND AGO!!
Isn't this the entire topic of this thread?
If you know so little of this conflict, maybe it's YOU who shouldn't speak
U literally said MHJ would shoot someone and they would still support her who tf do u think u r š¹š¹š¹
WHATS THIS
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.
THEY AS IN YOU!
What do you want to talk about in a MHJ thread if you don't want to to talk about MHJ?
IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GIRLS LMAO
u know who tony leung iis ???
or maybe just trust what the girls want if they said they wanted to work with her then just support them
U said the girls if I wld quote directly
If only we can just agree to disagree
2022 new jeans was the best
i follow several hybe groups so this whole thing has made me change the way i view them as a label. i doubt sometimes if MHJ truly has their best interests at heart but im hoping for the best
Not just the girls but all the adults around them
newjeans knows mhj more than any of us than these baseless accusations thats online lol but ya whatever we see on the internet it must be true
You don't trust any of them?
omg not the fucking text messages. Weren't they COMPLETELY out of context and dubunked?
this is exactly why we told the mods to change the name to Nj Vs Hybe cuz of idiots like him
Atp it actually is nwjns vs hybe anyway
The title barely matters lol
to him it does
Oh okay
So, you guys complain about Damien thinking he's better than everyone else. Yet one of you still thinks they're better than the mod team. Got it.
LOOK AT THE SECOND MESSAGE!
We're doing this now are we
lol i never said im better than the mod team but ok
you legit told them to change the thread name and called them idiots
Ure the literal worst LMAO U said wat u said ig
Thanks š¹š¹š¹š¹
?!?!?!?!? if that's not thinking you are better idk what is
I'm going to say it again and again, is everyone in nwjns' life wrong about mhj?
fight more
I think it's completely off the rails now.
What now?
apparently yes, according to damien
how did we get new mods but they cant even moderate this thread š¹
New mods...?

I'm missing mel, of all the old mods only one I liked
But turned out to be racist so...

LOL
I'm so fucking upset with them for doing something so stupid for such a small amount of time. They're ruined a lot of stuff.
well do something about it
@modern fog just close the thread for today until we have something new. Everytime damien came he/she only rage baiting

It won't stop when there's still fkers doing tricks on it
Like imma keep it real
bro what are u talking about? š¹
Let's try to change the topic
lol idk why we closing this thread when the only problem is that one mod
hes literally here to just ignite the fire. I dont think this clown made one single point other than bait
if i didnt make a single point
We're STILL witchhunting a mod
Anyone here is a swiftie? What was the rules about her re-recordings? If someone here knows
i think you might gotta do some reflecting
and thats not me saying im smarter or anything
just put the fries in the bag man
Like I heard some say she could do so at any time, others said she had to wait for a few years
Nobody is listening to each other. Waste of time.
im just saying if the only thing you took away from what im saying is ragebaiting?
its insane
Idk really
wait racist mods?! š
I think Min Hee Jin will get that bag from the lawsuit w Hybe
mcdonalds bag
Did you miss that whole drama
Pls stop, Im literally trying to discuss what this thread is meant to be

If only there was a Discord feature to block someone you want to ignore. 
Is this really necessary
lol if we wanne see conspiracies we will just go on reddit
Jhin š¹š¹š¹š¹š¹š¹
what conspiracy
We're STILL STILL STILL witchhunting a mod

God forbid they have a different opinion! I guess we can't go against the word of MHJ
What happened again š
i dont understand why having a different opinion is ragebaiting or bad
NEWJEANS HAPPENED
OT5!!!!
YEAHHH
because bunnies are in line with NEWJEANS OPINION and BEST INTEREST, not yours
I think people have a problem when the opinion starts to come from iffy facts. Like you brought up the text messages again and I was like oh no why are you doing this.
Guys, not again 
We need Jhin
Y'ALL WHO'S YOUR BIAS IN NEWJEANS???!!!
Oh no so we're calling help only from someone that agrees with you
You guys just can't bear the idea of someone having a different perspective
what when did jhin ever say anything
Mama ima criminal
i guess that was bad from me i see that
Thats okay now u understand
SOLVED
jhin trying to damage control while ur out here saying he/shes making inputs fk off
Did Min Hee Jin really leave HYBE
no not about everything
People come in here say they don't like MHJ, stating an opinion.
People ask why they think that way.
The person explains but then speaks with misinformation usually.
...
Then it turns to shit.
Its ok to hv ur own opinions about MHJ, many ppl do too but when u start to argue and say stuff like dont say anyt without proper proof when u urself dont, it looks awkward
Misinformation is CRAZY
and people say no its not real
Guys if the girls openly showing support for one side is not enough to get someone on that side, unknown ppl from discord defo ain't doing that. So this whole back and forth is a waste of time. IMO
or article from april 2024 article clears all
Lukisa niumi
š
tbh i don't know if i missed other "proof" from you but all I saw was the icc stuff and I shared my opinion on that while also having other opinion on everything else (i probably just missed other proof you had - i wasnt following everything since the start)
Honestly mhj discussions were interesting in like may or june, now it's just boring
how about your opinion about the weird stuff in mhjās house
tell that to damien, apparently he/she think the girls cant have their own opinion and were brainwashed by someone
The paintings? I feel completely at peace with what that was about now that I've seen recent debunks. For sure.
what are your guys' opinions on that one shinee photoshoot
Yeah
Did you see the very recent debunks from yesterday? I'll find the links if you didn't.
oh let me see
she has since deleted these off her instagram
because she cleared everything for ditto era
what do you think the context of this photo is?
Damien I think it has been debunked too
I'm currently in the process of finding the links. Sorry for taking time. But I do feel like I'm walking into a trap where we're just going to argue about it AGAIN like we have for the past two days.
she's just showing her house it just has questionable shit in the background
These links will do for now:

@nwjns1st Thatās Duncan Hannah artwork; probably wasnāt a good idea by her to do an interview with these on her wall knowing the general public donāt 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.
but does this excuse the multitude of the weird shit she has done over the years
We're just discussing this for now (something a lot of us did yesterday regardless). One step at a time please. 
lol did he knew it was "questionavble" from the start or did he just read somewhere that it was questionable? cuz tbh no one really knew who that person is in the painting until someone "claimed" she's underaged then got debunked
i knew it was questionable
and this is exactly how yk mhj is just an eccentric weirdo bc if she had illegal interests & thought thereās smth inappropriate & lustful abt those artworks she wouldnāt hold an entire interview in front of them hello?#!;ā¬$%!
HOW IS IT QUESTIONABLE!
are you asking me
yea?
how that artwork is questionable
tell me pls
why can;t u just asnwer without fighting
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?
you guys are not yet done with the art work 
I thought it was debunked and then the mod hasn't seen the latest updates.
just bc shes weird doesnt make her questionably inappropriate shit ok
how can she not see the painting and go oh this looks like lolita shit
surely her favourite film isnt better
idk how well conversed u are in kpop but how do u think this is even a feasible option
Can you just share what that film is you've brought it up twice now.
Sure
the attention music video has alot of references to a not so great movie
I think you're reaching just as many others have and it's concerning.
i hate allkpop but
if you wanna take a read here
omg yall are so tiring SOME PEOPLE LIKE HER AND SOME POEPLE DONT stop forcing ur ideologies on each other bc itās clearly not going well geez
All this shit is such reaching. Even Hybe Boy too. Cookie to a certain degree. I'm just gonna have to disagree with the parallels. People are reaching.
wdym Cookie "to a certain degree"
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... NJ made the right choice, especially because they know more than us who are following from the outside, you are completely deviating from what matters, which is supporting NJ regardless of what they decided...
ya its getting so tired š„±
painting topic going in circles for days now
like y'all know anything about a person to question them
so that means both sides shut up abt her
the degree is CLEAR blud
That's facts right there.
thanks mandy
i can get down with this
lol he clearly wants to spread misinfo from the link he's sharing like its not abt having different opinions
i personally just dont like how some people glaze her like shes a god
the stop bringing her up along w the others
did you read it
or look at any of it
of course ppl are gonna defend her so this convo is not gonna stop itās getting exhausting
yea i did
and? thoughts?
a lot of the "proof" ppl are sharing are not categorically facts and mostly ppl's interpretation. y'all should decide for yourselves if you like mhj or not
this topic not getting anywhere just say you don't like her even with the information you get here
here we go again
no!!!!!!!!
yes so stop
great we came to an agreement
I like her for what she's did for njw
Without MHJ there's no newjeans
i wouldnt say thatā¦.
Damien
here we go again
but i dont want to start anything š
alright my bad!
i cant contest peoples opinions
Damien u got that dawg in u
in the same case, without hybe's money there's no newjeans
This is a good que to stop tbh
and that literally applies w any company
did someone said NEWJEANS??????
thatās like saying aespa doesnt exist with exoās money
not blockberey creative LOL
LFGGG
thanks jeff
I just saw these texts for 2 mins twice and it's already unnecessary yapping to me
we stan loona for abandoning them
absolutely
nice timing
brokies
isnt bro rich
seeking a. loan? he should go seek a walk
What's that in usd
pls dont ping me with that kind of message
bro is bankrupt?
idc someone dox him plz need to throw an in n out burger at him. in la
going out for dinner with a girl once isn't gonna bankrupt him
hes so dumb
This could be for another business cause rich ppl keep on taking loans for fun
no mhj glazers here also applies to no bsh glazers here
š¤¢š¤®
since when was ANYONE glazing bsh
itās in case others come in
bro will do everything in his power to reduce MHJ final payment
those are hybe stans that do that
doesnt really work out either cause like most of the people here are mhj biased anyways š
bro is broke asf
Doesn't this mean bsh is asking for the money he loaned to mhj ?
why donāt he go and repay back hybeās debts to all their investors
didnāt they already turn it in? go sell ur la mansion if u want money again š
this is a crazy sentence
mhj and bang should just hug or something
think it would fix it all
bless chris lee for not letting hybe buy sm he saw the future š
why?
remember when mhj extended an olive branch? the ball is already in bsh court
why is it inappropriate?
MHJ has done more than enough to try and work with Hybe and Hybe is just having none of it.
Also I disagree with that deletion and don't understand.
blowj*b
BJ = Broadcast Jockey on Korean streaming websites
huH? i thought BJ means broadcast jockey
could be interpreted as both

not really
its literally what they call for streamer
i know that
itās prettt obvious they meant bj as streamer imo
Vous you're showing your age lmao
thanks chatgpt
this seems like the beginning of the end of this once great discord channel
bruh you just have a dirty mind, doesnt mean everyone else have the same
yall are just dirty minded š¤£
how does that mean he has a dirty mind
context is diferent too omg
i will say it again
BJ Juice are expensive to maintain
how old are yall im bc im starting to think theres minors in the chat (nothing wrong with that)
not even its also just a dumb comment to make
It's also why he disagrees and doesn't think it's a reach about the stuff he presented above. Dirty minded people are causing all these reaches.
lol it cant be proper one when someone clearly wants to make it bad
you could just refer to her by her actual username
can we extend the no glazing rule to no glazing mods also
what am i glazing
is everyone 18+ here
Doubt it (even mentally
)
now what do you mean by juice
Fruitjuice Seyeon
i doubt
Juice is reference to the streamer (aka BJ) BSH was with
i just knew her as her legal name
That's nice
or just seyeon
well that was understandably confusing, its 1 person so when u say "are"
idk her real username, because everyone called her that
lets keep it family friendly then
is it confirmed that she has loaned to bsh? shouldn't he the one paying her for damages?
always should
So certain mods can say āself-reportingā and other shit, but ppl canāt say anything about BJs and this gets deleted instantly. Interesting. Very good mods we have here
its in the rules š
lowk when i see juice i think guava juice
like everyone here seems to understand u always trying hard to make us look bad
self reporting can be anything
since when cuh
its up to interpretation
not really
but it was a bit rude of me i can admit that
i mean its just people saying their own opinions on shit and then everyone is condemning each other like
mbad for swearing pls dont mute
so are you going to apologize to me or not? because i know i didnt say anything inappropriate
bruh
sigh
but your word choice was wrong
I need to leave before I lose my mind.
I've DMed people I trust to look further into some of the points you've made damien, I'd like to learn more, and from more sources and research those myself.
Doesn't stop me from believing what I said in that one yap I should highlight.

the sentence struction
yes i appreciate you
yeah sure or i can if you want
BE NICE!
by the way he distort what we saying this guy might just be from hybe
YES!!!! HE IS HYBE EMPLOYEE!!!!
you need to get out of delulul land LMAOOOO
I thought it was over
jerry in here to pick fight i cant
is the bar really that low to be a mod
LOL!
i mean it was mega low coughcough
no you have to be a hybe employee
i cant believe i got the job
hybe sucks btw
i get what you mean but again the way you phrased the sentence was nasty
been knew
nobody said hybe was good š
how does this all affect lebron's legacy though
real questions
lol like everyone here understood what she meant and he's like "what did u just say" acting dumb just to get some replies
just ignore then? why keep replying
My question is why this discussion is not being moderated anymore. People, mods included, are spamming random messages and rage baiting. Itās happened again and again. Either moderate this discussion or close it and only open it when big news happens, like previous mods did.
where is the rage baiting in question
Well the last mods that took care of this stuff lol yall know what happened
seems like a bad time
ill come back later
what happened? wasn't there for it
its always a bad time xd
mods always locked the thread
nothing new here, just bsh asking for the loan back from mhj if that's real
Yeah, but at least they were doing their jobs
š
i should give you power and see if you can do it šš
nah i think u just like yapping in here w us š¤
i do!
i like to hear peoples thoughts on things
and how we think differently or similar!
its nice
letās all join a debate club
Damien have u ever thought abt debate club
omg we think alike
R u sure abt that
positive
instead of moderating, rage baiting... i mean at least the past mods are doing their jobs and you know how locked in they are with newjeans and their decisions...
yea make sense
he only likes online debates
yall only getting on damien as if hes the only mod in the server š
if you wanna try to figure it out do it
nah we should just purge it.
tell me how
if you know better!

Ruling Partyās 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 (ėźµ¬ ė¶źµ¬ź°) 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 ānot only high-profile figures like NewJeansā 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 individualsā 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
ā 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, āIsnāt HYBE itself a company that grew by recruiting talent from other entertainment agencies?ā
An anonymous labor consultant criticized the practice, saying, āThese 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, āGiven that in-house legal experts likely informed the company of the lack of enforceability, the insistence on these agreements suggests strong involvement by the companyās 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”“ģ¬ 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."
āNoh 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, āPersonnel-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 thereās 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, āRequiring 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 companyās 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."
@itvnews
@cato_o_o <t:1732205213:d>
This clause is interesting.
Upon termination, The agency shall transfer trademark rights to the artistā¦.agency may request appropriate compensationā¦
Meaning Agency canāt refuse transfer.
HYBE might request crazy compensation but the reasonableness is determined in court.

People don't expect Belift to win in the first place right? It's just all SLAPP tactics?
ellooo
I was waiting for this lawsuit, goooo MHJ 
Civil lawsuits from Belift, not criminal.
good, watching an arcane breakdown vids and this news came out so.
Criminal lawsuit is the way to go

ohh i need to watch arcane i heard its good. after my exams fs
It doesn't say if MHJ's lawsuit again Belift is civil or criminal does it?
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
I forgot the details of the difference between civil and criminal anyway. Someone explained it before.
I was wrong. I am no idea, is it a civil or a criminal case
