I hope you are right and this mess will be over by the end of the year. While others may stay with New Jeans, I just can't. MHJ is not letting them grow as artists. What was once fresh and youthful now just seems stale. Add to this is the behavior of the girls themselves. At some point the disrespect for others and the whining is just too much. I am tired of these entitled girls. When they grow up maybe I will give them another look but right now I am done.
Same, i can't listen to their music anymore without feeling like I'm listening to entitled brats music. Btw, I don't think MHJ will stay as artistic director either. She needs the power and with that position she won't get it.
@@lindas5511 agreed! I deleted the one and only song I bought of theirs. Can’t even stand to listen to their music being played without getting annoyed. While I do believe MHJ has a huge role in their “upbringing,” their parents were responsible for them from day one. All of them are definitely undeserving of any further attention.
Most of New Jeans success was because they had ARMY supporting them, without that support they are just another GG. MHJ has seemingly destroyed New Jean's brand with ARMY, I very much doubt they can ever repeat the success they had without them.
I was supporting NJ because of BTS. Even if NJ decides to stay at Hybe, I can’t listen to their songs or stream their MVs anymore. Because of MHJ’s maliciousness and NJ’s show of disrespect, I no longer am willing to support them. I will support the other Hybe artists, except NJ , as long as these artists remain loyal to Hybe and BTS. I’m not sure if there are Armys who are feeling the same way as I do, but to me NJ is a past history. Sorry, NJ, but you’ve gone too far for my heart to forget everything that happened. It’s not about forgiveness. It’s about what is remaining in my brain and my heart.
@@kanohane Their music is not bad, just not my kind. But like I mentioned previously, I listened to their music because I believed that they are BTS sister group within Hybe and wanted to support.
I think so too. I could only support the argument that these are such young people at the beginning. These women are grown up enough & have had enough time to get information from the internet.
Girl everytime i saw NJ video pop up in my fyp i will automatic clicked "not interested" button cuz the feeling of dissapointed over them is huge. If NJ stay quiet and show they didn't support Min heejin maybe i still can enjoy their content and music but now its really hard to listen to their song happily. even my fav idol did a dance cover of their song, i will just ignored it back then i still can accept it a bit because there are only 2 people that speak openly support MHJ back then but now all of them supported MHJ and that make me feel really dissapointed over the girl. I'm still can accept that they speak up because of what HYBE did but i'm not okay when NJ said that MHJ was everything for them
HYBE's offer to MHJ is an unsurprising strategic move. They are dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's in preparation for future litigation. They are proceeding methodically and professionally, looking after the best interests of the companies, artists, and shareholders. HYBE and ADOR have the fiduciary responsibility to ensure information about their artists, in this case, NewJeans, is correct. NewJeans is getting a reality check: Artists have no say in the company's operations. MHJ's press releases and frivolous claims are getting old and will have no effect. She will ultimately fall on her own sword.
Lmao......on one side Hybe says MHJ did breach of trust but in other side they want to use her talent n creativity ????😅😅😅 Hypocrites...........they want her to just give ideas but not claim those ideas, so when she is not CEO she cant claim her own work 😅😅😅😅 Why dont Hybe remove her totally ??? Just want to use her talent but not wanna give her credit 😅😅😅😅
I think all this was a strategic move as well. They have incoming lawsuits to deal with so all these moves are within that context. And are smart moves.
@@0xyGen_2.p0 whats strategic in offering someone being on board of directors, with whom you have already filed court cases ??? 😂😂😂 Are you fooling court or are you fooling that person whom you offered this ???
@@0xyGen_2.p0 its like saying I dont like the chef, I have filed court cases on chef she broke my trust , but since she is talented n creative so keep working in my kitchen as a maid instead of chef ??? 😂😂😂
@@KsenijaHajdu-x3g If you're referring to mhj's injunction case that she won, the judge determined that there was enough evidence (which was presumably either returned to HYBE, or placed in a file at court for future reference) to show that she had definitely been planning to harm HYBE, and that she actually had. Unfortunately, the judge had to adhere to the law, which said that since she hadn't harmed ADOR, the company that she had a contract with, she couldn't be fired from ADOR. This made no sense, as she also had a contract with HYBE, and HAD harmed THEM. At any rate, the injunction was only good for two months, and only kept HYBE from voting their shares in order to fire her for that specific length of time. There was nothing stopping HYBE from restructuring their company, though, so they fired the other two CEO's that mhj had brought into ADOR, replaced them with HYBE employees, and made mhj a CO-CEO. When the injunction expired, ADOR called a meeting of their Board of Directors and shareholders, with mhj attending on a Zoom call... she was voted out as CO-CEO of ADOR, and HYBE took away her shares in their company, since she was no longer entitled to them, as they were only given to CEO's as an incentive. After NJ posted their video, HYBE met with the members of NJ and their parents. It's not known what happened at this meeting, but... here we are.
I was once a fan of NewJeans from Korea, but now I no longer listen to their music due to Min Hee-jin. Global fans may not be familiar with the cartel of Korean entertainment and sports media. Additionally, there was a fierce battle between Kakao and HYBE to acquire SM Entertainment. During this process, Kakao's CEO was involved in stock manipulation and is currently in prison. Behind Min Hee-jin stands Kakao, and behind that, the Korean entertainment and sports media cartel. Korean entertainment and sports media have historically controlled public opinion by publishing positive or negative articles about entertainment agencies, while also controlling broadcast appearances. There have been cases where enterrainment media outlets accepted bribes or were involved in illicit favors. Both SM and YG have had numerous criminal cases involving these shady backdoor deals. You may be familiar with BigBang’s Seungri scandal. Additionally, incidents involving drugs and suicides are common in idol groups from those agencies. Among Korea’s three major entertainment agencies, JYP has stayed clear of these dark transactions. Bang Si-hyuk, who also came from JYP, has maintained a clean direction for HYBE as well. BTS achieved global success through social media without the help of Korean entertainment journalists. These journalists were envious and tried to downplay BTS. When BTS’s “DNA” hit the Billboard charts, Korean media barely covered it. It was only when BTS reached number one on Billboard that the Korean media began to pay attention. There’s another reason Korean journalists dislike Bang Si-hyuk. It’s because the song "Spring Day" touches on the Sewol Ferry tragedy, which is seen as supporting the progressive side in Korea. This aligns Bang Si-hyuk with Korea’s democratic camp. The current government in Korea is conservative, and the media is aligned with that conservative power. So, this battle isn’t between Min Hee-jin and HYBE. It is a war where Korea's conservative media and Kakao are attacking HYBE, using Min Hee-jin as their proxy.
This was very well explained! I guessed as much that there were political powers at play. I realized the past president/government were very supportive of HYBE. Were they of the Democratic side? For example, Suga's case wasn't just an incident but a well planned operation. Compare that with Taeil's case which was barely covered and seems like has been completely dropped by the media.
FINALLY!! somebody who gets it, media is corrupt and involved with the political side, if not controlled by them. But anyway... I thought Kakao was chinesse?
@@royal_bee4534 Currently, Korean politics is not entirely divided along ideological lines, and the media coverage of entertainment and sports often varies depending on individual journalists' perspectives rather than political agendas. However, what is clear is that almost all major entertainment outlets, such as KBS, Dong-A Ilbo, YTN, and Yonhap News, report Min Hee-jin's false claims without question and do not properly cover HYBE's rebuttal.
Thank you for this detailed explanation. Many would only know the surface level and pick sides. Glad to know I'm not the only who thinks it's much more than min hee jin vs HYBE. This is almost kakao proxy vs HYBE. And that shaman was definitely working for kakao/sm. She didn't allow min hee jin to invest money. Min hee jin will also be thrown over once they don't find any use of her.
They offered something she won't accept but that she SHOULD accept if she actually cared about New Jeans. So they come out better than she does. Even if she takes it she doesn't have the power she did before. She will have a boss over her as a producer. She was a good (though I disagree she was great) producer. New Jeans was never as successful as she made them out to be.... Just look at the issue in Japan. HOWEVER.... there needs to be a clause that keeps her from unilaterally going to the press while she is a producer. I've never worked in a company where people run to the press outside of the PR department. Doing that is damaging the company. She needs a muzzle.
Your first sentence is a reeeally good point. So much for all that "care" she claimed to have for them, and how much she was "protecting" them. I hope they see more now...
@@ruthfischer7615 To take some time to answer is not strange. Also, it takes time to get in touch with collaborators and have lengthy media interviews. Give the woman some slack, she's working hard, not producing! Also, Ador was able to talk to NJ now (THEIR group). It just makes sense to wait. Looks like she doesn't want to leave so fast, after all...
She is complaining allegedly that Hybe defaming her thru Forbes reporter and here she is doing interviews , presscon against Hybe.. I believe in the saying thinkers are doers. She is the epitome of a narcissist and NJ is turning out that way, as the saying goes. Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are. The people you surround yourself with will manifest in you. This is a very had lesson for Bang PD of hiring competent but on the other hand comes with this gigantic baggage of attitude and problems. This just shows that MHJ has no respect whatsoever of Bang PD . She is the resident Snake in the company .
*Another win step for Hybe, boy😅😅 they are playing with her but now she will be a beast trying to get the claws out but she will made mistakes one after the other till will be taken down for good.*
Again, HYBE DID NOT KNOW that she was grooming NJ members till it was tipped off about her plotting against company THIS YEAR and only then everything came on light. I don't think that Hybe failed NJ members. How on Earth would Hybe know what is happening in Ador and how ubnormal and toxic MHJ is. If they knew, MHJ's foot would never even cross Hybe's doors, would it? And Hybe wouldn't have problems with her. Hybe SIMPLY DIDN'T KNOW. But as soon as they learned about how she groomed girls, they are trying to help NJ out being EXTRA CAREFUL not to breach NJ member's contracts. Please, Hybe can not be hold responsible for what MHJ was doing behind Hybe's back. We have to be fair about this.
Sorry to say, but MHJ has a very bad reputation when comes to how she sees/treats minors, so even tho she is a good producer (not the greatest as her PR always make appears) they should've kept an eye on her vere closely.
If Cookie, the insinuation of their other videos, and the thousands references of pedo in her work, her office and personal social accounts were not enough, then they are more blind that a cave fish (that lack eyes).
@@sisisworld being independent was part of her contract with Hybe and Hybe got no reports that something was we8rd in her relation(ship) with girls. Answer me realistically# HOW could they know? How? Hybe is board company and Hybe's board doesn't interfere with business and other decisions of their subsidiaries as long as investments into them are justified with (expected) financial and other outcomes. So please tell me how, even legally. Only after audit process was initiated against MHJ, when Hybe got a tip about really problematic actions on behalf of Ador's board led by MHJ, Hybe got an insight into the picture and revealed serious imbreachment of law and realised that she groomed both parents and girls into her game. They tealised this first only from Kakao messages and later to their surptise Hybe realised that NJ members are completely under her control. We aren't talking about artistic influences here, we are talking about psychological grooming and clear signs of a Stockholm syndrome these girls suffer from as a result of being psychologically groomed and brainwashed. Since Hybe is aware what is goung on, Hybe is trying to separate girls from thair groomer which is logical, ethical and responsible response. Hybe is trying to protect girls and empower them as artists, make them to believe in themselves, trying to make them realise that it is their talent for which they are successful, not only or exclusively work of managment or producers. But girls refuse to believe in their own strenght. Which is typical for mentality of the groomed, such person believes that it can't survive without its abuser because the abuser fixated that belief into them. Hybe didn't know about situation to prevent it, but it is trying to protect girls since it is aware of it. Also, what are chances that a CEO you will employ will show up as child abuser? Suvh cases happen but are very rare. Because even abuser was not born as abuser, it develops into abuser eventually, especially if situation plays in their hand. MHJ coming to Ador was situation playing in her hand because multilabel system is based on independence of sublabels. So she could be doing whatever she wanted and Hybe wouldn't know unless it was tipped off about it, or if financial crisis or the police report about something fishy is going on would bring their attention to a sublabel to investigate it. And this is exacy what happened - Hybe was warned that something bad is going on with MHJ, and Hybe immediatelly reacted with audit. With which she still doesn't cooperate and refuses to give up her laptop. These are facts. Hybe did not failled girls by pushing themnin hands of MHJ knowing that she is abuser, right? If Hybe knew that she was abuser, MHJ would never ever get job in Hybe and get chance for damaging Hybe. Please understand this.
I completely agree with this comment. I trust Hybe and we have seen the idols they house as a symbol and extension of their principles. Its just that with all that happened with glam and how netizens felt about how they handle girlgroups, Hybe wanted to give NWjns all the support and advantage they needed to succeed but MHJ exploited that sentiment and tried to turn it to her advantage at the expense of HYBE.
@@splendore.ngrandeur3599 I think that Hybe is really being fair with NJ, even giving NJ a chance for MHJ staying as producer till end of NJ contracts, but Hybe can't force girls to accept Hybe's help, including psychological support if they refuse it. It simply isn't fair to blame Hybe for what MHJ was doing to girls. If you knew that a teacher was p3d0, would you employ him in kindergarten or school? Of course you wouldn't. Hybe didn't know MHJ's real face. But now Hybe knows it too well, and it's fixing situation as much as it is in power of Hybe to fix it.
Hybe took the middle ground way. It's true very generous considering what she said,how she bad mouth the Company you work for.I hope this will not be used as barometer for future kpop groups to demand from their company like they did. Hybe this time should and must put terms and conditions to protect the company from these kind of employees including this group. Next time these employees do something the clause should include stringent punishment.
I feel Hybe is covering all bases. - offering MHJ to stay because of NJ request. So Hybe is considering the artists request. They are also doing what is best for NJ. - they are shown to be negotiating with MHJ. They are allowing her to stay with NJ and in charge of the group which was her original request. Despite her actions they are willing to keep her. I am not an expert, but legally they are ticking all the boxes right? So if MHJ or NJ want to go to court, Hybe is proven to be handling the situation appropriately, right?
@@eileencritchley4630 I really want them to keep goingbwoth the offer then. If MHJ and NJ don't accept and want to go to court then Hybe can at least defend itself. I'm not pro-Hybe but I am really anti-MHJ. I just don't trust her.
I hope you are right. I do hope that they are extremely aware of the consequences of leaving a cancerous spot on your body - it spreads. They will need to keep a veeeeery close eye on it 24/7, lest it affects and destroy those around it.
A third of them older men that do not care about this, other third are teens with an attention spam of two minutes, the rest... Might know and not care.
I can’t believe this 😮 but I also don’t have a “business bone “ in my body. I’m a kindergarten teacher and I’m wired rather emotionally. I can admit that 😅 that’s why I think it’s horrible that they offered this woman to stay with these girls. But thank you for this analysis. I do understand the intentions. And if she stays they maybe can look out more for these girls now. But what a headache to be honest…. To have that woman in your company that made such a ruckus and betrayed you. Narcissists are such a pain to deal with 🫠
MHJ can't be controlled whether in or out of HYBE. She will continue to spread negativity to those around her and infect as many people as possible. This whole drama is draining and I do worry that it has already affected BTS and will continue to do so. I don't understand how MHJ and NJ are getting away with the egregious things they have said against Hybe. I guess I wouldn't be good at business because all these mind games are exhausting. MHJ is smart enough to know exactly what HYBE is planning to do. My only hope is that she'll be true to her greedy self and won't accept the terms and litigation will take over.
The drama continues… this drama is getting so old. 🙄 Hopefully this “offer” includes a gag order for her and NJ. The longer they stay, the more damage they will do to BigHit, HYBE, and BTS.
I think it was a smart move because they knew MHJ wld say no. They knew she'd pick herself. My favorite part is that she wanted them not to include in the new contract what she called a "poisoned pill," which is just she can be fired at will! lol! Like a regular employee.
I work for a big organization and whenever we need to "remove" someone with indefinitive contract and is not posible to reach a monetary agreement, then that someone is assigned to a job we know he or she does not want and/or where she or he wont cause major troubles, then that person is fully monitored and whenever an objective is not achieved or there is a mistake a warning is provided, after 2 of those... the person is fired. Sometimes they just decide to look for another job instead of staying. All thi is kind of hard and unhuman but it is what it is. Big coorporations works on that way.
i agree, she is luck to have such an offer...nothing against New Jeans i absolutely don't know what i would do if New Jeans wasn't around...they get me through my days...new jeans is very young and doesn't realize the cutthroat business world of kpop...their intentions were well meaning on their part and they will learn how things work as time goes by and they mature...i love them and give my full support for them but minheejin is not what they thing she is ..they would make it without her even though she has made them believe that they would no....this offer made by Hybe is very generous and much more than i anticipated them offering. However Hybe made this decision based on a business decision and not emotion, which i was glad to see. so she should feel blessed that she got this offer and settle down and get back to work. take car of OUR GIRLS is the most important thing not minheejin.
For me is like HYBE is putting a leash on her neck. So she will stop growling anywhere around. Because she´s like a dog with virus. She can put stains, and she has nothing to loose. She have to be thankful for HYBE. And yes, you have to keep your enemies close.
No creo que sea idea mía, pero, pase lo que pase quien más pierde siento que es NY ya que imagino que si hay litigio eso involucra de algún modo una suspensión de actividades mientras esté vigente. Y mientras se resuelva si hay o no litigio siguen en suspenso y enfocadas en el conflicto. HYBE sigue con su corporación, MJY gane o no la pelea imagino que algo se va a llevar (además del daño de imagen de las empresas ADOR y HYBE). Y, si NY logra su independencia va a quedar marcada como desleal empresarialmente lo que siento los pondría en desventaja ante posibles problemas futuros donde ya estarían enmarcadas como problemáticas para futuros empleadores. Tal vez esté equivocada, son cosas en que he pensado desde que comenzó todo. Saludos desde Argentina.
Great analysis and helpful info! I am concerned or the well being of the new jeans members. Mistreated folks getting to choose to stay with those who harmed them without any intervention to deprogram them and enable them to more clearly see their own agency and the harm done by their leadership frightens me.
@@lawaanjaideelyon1890 they may not but many of them were children when mhj came into their lives and began grooming them. I care about harmed children. Even when they side with the culprits
Thank you for your very unbiased video. To be honest, I'm surprised to see something like this from the ARMY corner. Thank you for that. On the subject: it was actually clear from the beginning that the ultimatum would have no effect (I mean who are they to dictate something?). However, MHJ has the advantage of having the long term plan for NJ. HYBE now has the problem that they actually know that NJ has a positive impact on their income (not that much like 50% or something but even 2% is good. In 2023, they were debt-free) and that only MHJ is able to manage them. Otherwise they just would have fired her by November. NJ have brand deals left and right which is also income. So what can HYBE do? The best solution would be, if MHJ would accept the offer by HYBE but without the parts, who could have her fired the next day. The lawyers have to agree on something here. There's no point in people getting involved on X, especially in areas they have no idea about (suddenly everyone is a lawyer). Less media play from both sides would also help to ease the situation. @ Jeff Benjamin: He is just a columnist and ofc he have to hear all sides. Otherwise it's just Fox News. From what I understood was, that he tried to contact both sides, got some informations from the PR team of HYBE with something, MHJ didn't like. But that doesn't mean, that this was defamatory material. ARMY twisted his words, Tokkis too and in a few hours it's the weekend and the show can begin :)
Keeping Nj is a liability. The brand was built on copying and lies. We all know HYBE don't need the elementary girls. HYBE already got replacements. HYBE don't need MIN .you are wrong do you really think HYBE cares what this crazy woman does.
They don't. But if they had paid more attention to her NJ would not suffered from what she did. They are mentally dependent on her. Monitoring them is the least they can do for her victims.
it is exactly what they already offered plus sit in the board. I wouldn't give her a sit in the board, however she can't do much harm in board as such in sense that she can't beat another votes. Bad side of this is : she will have all the information on decision-making level and will leak it to SME. That's why I hope she rejects a role of producer and leaves Hybe in month or so completely. Sit in board should be conditioned with signing as a producer. If she rejects producing, there is absolutely no reason to keep as as internal director and a board member.
MHJ’s goose is cooked and Hybe is the chef! The fact that mhj thinks the clause giving Hybe the right to terminate her contracts as being ‘toxic’ shows you what she is all about. She spent all this time trying to destroy Hybe’s reputation, insulting the management with rude and demeaning swear words. She also decided to start renegotiating a 5 year contract in year 3 when most negotiate in the last year. She is all over the press and news channels maligning the company. After all of that, she thinks it’s unreasonable for Hybe to want that clause to be included, which by the way is a standard contract. All contracts have the option to terminate early. She is kookoo for koko puffs.
I'm not an army and I quit kpop for a couple of years before New Jeans came out. New Jeans brought a new generation of listeners. They were fresh and brought something new to the table. They had even some celebrities listening to their music. They achieved so much for 2 years. Le seraphim is under hype too but why are they not at NewJeans caliber?
MHJ is definitely fuming! She may be calm on the surface, bit she's a raging storm on the inside. She's getting desperate and on panic mode. From now on, it will be onemistakes after another. Her downfall is fast approaching, her "allies" will betray her, and the media...well...we already know what will happen. As for NJ, they need a new fresh concept, reinvent themselves and show the world their real talent as GFRIEND comeback is in January. The KATSEYE debut is doing great on the charts, ILLIT will have a comeback soon. LE SSERAFIM are on roll.
She would never. It would mean she lost. It would also mean others would profit from her "genius" and not her and that is unaccaptable. It would mean she does not get her money, power, recognitation, ADOR and likely loose NJ in the long run as they grow up and it would be itnerefered in her gaslighting over years and they become confident in who they are and what they have archieved. She blindly ran into that trap... or I would have said that if that offer hadn't been so old. When was it? On the 17th? Before that? She is desperate and flings accusations in hope that something sticks and she is considered the victim. She may also have been loosing backers. Who knows?
@@0xyGen_2.p0 She thinks/hopes she can win the injunction and that it will make everything else HYBE has done to counter as if it was never done at all.
At the end of the day BUSSINESS IS BUSSINESSS THATS THE MINDSET OF BUSSINESS ENTHUSIAST.EVEN U OWN COMPANY,U HAVE ALSO CONSIDER THE INVESTOR,THATS Y WITCH MENHEJIN STILL THERE😒😒😒😒😒
It’s the long game HYBE is playing. They know she’ll keep doing the same nonsense and she’s out. They’re also letting New Jeans dig their own hole. I don’t think the future is that bright for them.
Honestly, though, isn't New Jeans' success up to those who buy their music? Hybe may allow them and their momma to stay, but unless they do well in the market, keeping them is good for nothing. So, ultimately, it's up to those who've been purchasing their music, promoting them on social media, voting for them, and supporting them. BigHit and BTS knew this and used it to promote themselves and overcome the hurdles those in the music industry put in their way. They recognized the power of their followers and fostered that relationship. The real question is, can New Jeans and MHJ do the same? I don't think they can. And even if they do, another question to consider is this, "Do they have staying power?" Again, I don't think they do. My main hope and prayer is this whole drama is resolved BEFORE the remaining BTS members leave the military. Because if not, you can believe those supporting NJ will try to pull them into this mess. Right now, they are distanced from it solely because of the military rules of conduct. Let's just all hope this mess is over before the remaining members rejoin Jin and JHope.
i dont get why does mhj claim all of those things. she would know hybe could maybe have recorded the meeting who knows or have proof of that. is she trying to force hybe proof themself or something? this is no longer things that could be misunderstood at a meeting. like the money and leave offer. if she claimed that she should have shown the offer on paper. if they dont have that i think it´s stupid to make such an importaint meeting without a note taker who can write about the meeting. even the smallest meetings i have taken i was emailed a letter about it afterwards. but i don´t buy the reason for wanting her back. not all of it. because why did they go throught all of that to fire her and then wanting to take her back. nj has said they want mhj from the beginning why did they wait before nj made that yt live? i agree on reason for wanting to keep the brand of nj and that she could run it under supervision, and it would be a quick fix to the problem. but i think they already knew mhj would reject the offer. maybe hybe found out who the investor of nj is and want to stop that from happening. i can assure they know more than we do and already have people on it to see what the other part has in their back. so i think hybe set up these terms as a way to proof that they at least tried so if nj sues and leave hybe after that, than people will blame them. as they should in the first place but strangely enough many still dont.
I'm pretty sure HYPE wants to control MHJ and wants her to help other groups within the company. She probably refused to help so they are attacking her.
Hybe is all out when she was ousted as ceo...they only offered her 2mos. ..now they changed their mind that fast? Im not for hybe, i just want a pleasant working environment for BTS.
they offered her same thing as two months ago...I only want to know if sit in board and internal director position stays with her even if she refuses producing NJ, or not. My guess is that board sot and production contract are related. If not, Hybe will be paying her for nothing plus she will be able to collect internal information# sell it to Hybe's enemues, and looking for cracks to use them in her advantage and hit Hybe back. This is why if she refuses producing for NJ, she should be out completelly. BTW. Hybe offered her something she alreasy rejected. Points on court for Hybe, minus for her. It is chess game so wait and don't judge too fast. We have only seen first moves, and is ALMOST chess-mat position for MHJ, but not yet fully chess-mat. Time is running though and MHJ has only 1 month left
She isn't trying to take it though and that is Hybes way to get her out, and she has no grounds to sue. They aren't being generous she said no that's end of story.
they don't have a legal ground for this. This is why they tried with "manager said her to ignore me" and " Hybe was downplaying success of NJ in Tokyo/Japan, and Chairman didn't say hello. They want to constitute these 3 things as "harassment" to be able to leave Hybe and keep the money. Stupidity and manipulative nature of those "harrassment" claims is visible from helicopter. NJ have NOTHING against Hybe that constitutes as a breach of their contracts, and that's just a fact. They have lot of privileges from Hybe though.
How would Hybe get New Jeans to do anything if they did not let them have her. They do not respect anyone or anything and even think that all of this has come because of Min Hee-jin which is sad. They think they are nothing without her and that is just not true but it shows how isolated and brainwashed they have been over years. You will not be able to break them out of it quickly. It will have to be a process where they will have to stop listening to her and start believeing the truth about her. She isn't going to let that happen right now. She obviously will tell every lie, claim every victomhood, even making them believe they are victims, but not of her of course. They will be difficult for anyone to work with right now. These girls have a lot of hard realities coming their way no matter what happens. They have been living in a fantasyland that is not the reality of the real world and may never overcome it. How sad.
NJ really torpedoed so much good will with their immaturity. MHJ isn't helping them grow to be respected in the industry. She basically is getting them to chart, but at the expense of their reputations and personality development.
Que cela serve de leçon à Hybe mais plus vite il dégageront cette femme et ses filles et plus vite, les Army se sentiront bien, en tous les cas moi. Ces personnes m'exaspèrent au plus au point. Voilà des malheureuses, pleureuses qui veulent rester dans une société où elles sont maltraitées c'est un haut degré de cynisme ou de stupiidité. Pour la mère c'est le premier car une bonne manipulatrice et pour les filles c'est le deuxième car elles sont à un tel niveau de bêtises que s'en est désolant.
I agree with everything you say but have a question. Is being an "at will" employee, especially in management, unusual in SK? In the US this is not uncommon but in our system labor rights are very weak and management is rarely covered.
If MHJ has a blackbook on each of the top guns and artists in HYBE, she has not used all her cards yet. Or she has shown to them, and they have no way out, except to "keep" her before she destroys everything. Defiinitely, i go down, u go down with me, especially as i have nothing to lose now. Watching this MHJ vs HYBE corporate drama is like watching a few movies at one go! And NJ being "kidnapped" for "ransom". Also, MHJ has supporters who are equally powerful who wants the same thing: bring HYBE & BTS down. MHJ is just a "frontman". BPD must have offended them greatly, and MHJ is just sb hired to achieve revenge. Hmmm..waiting for the drama to end..SOON. Wish it's SUITS, that in a few episodes, we know the verdict. 😂
I trust BTS, but it does make me feel skeptical that they know MHJ try to tarnish their name and basically want to destroy them and NewJeans is standing next to her side. when I saw Jungkook‘s post about supporting NJ it kind of shocked me, I would support NewJeans more if they remained out of the drama. But I feel like they are being selfish. They didn’t it build up hybe, BTS DID.
If you are a BOD member, the other members may elect you as a CEO. That's how they function in Korea, according to their laws. However, membership to it has an expiry date. MHJ's membership will expire in November. I heard it won't be renewed.
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer! The offer to MHJ to remain a director and producer even after she tried to screw Hybe (and BTS) is already generous. Cut it where it hits the most 💰💵💶
I tried to understand newjeans, but after the live streaming they did, I don't think they are worth to stan anymore. Everytime I see a content with a title "newjeans" I click not interested. I wanted to believe they are just shields and sword mhj is using for her own benefit, and they're just close minded to see that. That way I can still like them, but nah idk they seem to really choose to be part of this mess. Well I can't blame them, it just happen that MHJ mastered the art of manipulation. Too bad, they have the potential to become big, just like the 1st generation of Fifty Fifty.
This whole mess is between MHJ and Bang Si-Hyuk and the girls are thrown in the middle of it. Bang Si-Hyuk treats NewJeans like Cinderella while treating the other girl groups like the sisters. He never wanted NewJeans because the beef between him and MHJ.
Wrong. BSH thought MHJ was good at her job and when she demended space to do her work he gave it to her bit by bit. If someone was treated like princesses it was NJ. - luxury dorm that they designed from the very beginning - fashion ambassadorship not only as a group but as individual from pretty much debut - 2 months break after each promotion circle - no debt/earning from debut a lot of money - highest floor for their label (above BH) - their own social media plattform phoning - weverse houses everyone else and more Bang - after leaving his CEO position - wrote/produced music for any artist that would take it/did not so much on their own like SVT and BTS: TXT, Enhypen, Le Sserafim and Illit I would not be surprised if he offered to do it for NJ, too, but MHJ refused because it would interfere with her branding and controll of NJ. As a result e is a tick closer with those artists. But not anywhere near as much as NHJ is too NJ.... not even to BTS despite the jokes.
Can you please support your claim that Min Hee Jin did all the things that HYBE claim she did? Nobody, not even HYBE can directly and physically show evidence to the public of things they claim MHJ did. Even the judge dismissed the claims due to lack of evidence?
I also can’t believe that Hybe is allowing MHJ to continue to work with NJ given her toxic personality. It’s similar to when your child is throwing a tantrum and you give into the demands. I can’t deal with this situation anymore it’s too draining.
I hope you are right and this mess will be over by the end of the year. While others may stay with New Jeans, I just can't. MHJ is not letting them grow as artists. What was once fresh and youthful now just seems stale. Add to this is the behavior of the girls themselves. At some point the disrespect for others and the whining is just too much. I am tired of these entitled girls. When they grow up maybe I will give them another look but right now I am done.
Yup. What make them think that they are irreplaceable ? There are so many girl group debuted .
Same, i can't listen to their music anymore without feeling like I'm listening to entitled brats music.
Btw, I don't think MHJ will stay as artistic director either. She needs the power and with that position she won't get it.
@@lindas5511 agreed! I deleted the one and only song I bought of theirs. Can’t even stand to listen to their music being played without getting annoyed. While I do believe MHJ has a huge role in their “upbringing,” their parents were responsible for them from day one. All of them are definitely undeserving of any further attention.
I totally agree...i pity the girls but they...and their parents...were well aware of their actions and shd accept the consequences...
I will. I don’t care about this conflict.
Most of New Jeans success was because they had ARMY supporting them, without that support they are just another GG.
MHJ has seemingly destroyed New Jean's brand with ARMY, I very much doubt they can ever repeat the success they had without them.
I was supporting NJ because of BTS. Even if NJ decides to stay at Hybe, I can’t listen to their songs or stream their MVs anymore. Because of MHJ’s maliciousness and NJ’s show of disrespect, I no longer am willing to support them. I will support the other Hybe artists, except NJ , as long as these artists remain loyal to Hybe and BTS. I’m not sure if there are Armys who are feeling the same way as I do, but to me NJ is a past history.
Sorry, NJ, but you’ve gone too far for my heart to forget everything that happened. It’s not about forgiveness. It’s about what is remaining in my brain and my heart.
I feel the same....I never actually liked their music to start with...
@@kanohane Their music is not bad, just not my kind. But like I mentioned previously, I listened to their music because I believed that they are BTS sister group within Hybe and wanted to support.
I think so too. I could only support the argument that these are such young people at the beginning. These women are grown up enough & have had enough time to get information from the internet.
Girl everytime i saw NJ video pop up in my fyp i will automatic clicked "not interested" button cuz the feeling of dissapointed over them is huge. If NJ stay quiet and show they didn't support Min heejin maybe i still can enjoy their content and music but now its really hard to listen to their song happily. even my fav idol did a dance cover of their song, i will just ignored it back then i still can accept it a bit because there are only 2 people that speak openly support MHJ back then but now all of them supported MHJ and that make me feel really dissapointed over the girl. I'm still can accept that they speak up because of what HYBE did but i'm not okay when NJ said that MHJ was everything for them
Same… I sopport BTS and only BTS. I’m so disappointed in this group new 👖 their music was catchy that’s it.
HYBE's offer to MHJ is an unsurprising strategic move. They are dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's in preparation for future litigation. They are proceeding methodically and professionally, looking after the best interests of the companies, artists, and shareholders. HYBE and ADOR have the fiduciary responsibility to ensure information about their artists, in this case, NewJeans, is correct. NewJeans is getting a reality check: Artists have no say in the company's operations. MHJ's press releases and frivolous claims are getting old and will have no effect. She will ultimately fall on her own sword.
Lmao......on one side Hybe says MHJ did breach of trust but in other side they want to use her talent n creativity ????😅😅😅 Hypocrites...........they want her to just give ideas but not claim those ideas, so when she is not CEO she cant claim her own work 😅😅😅😅
Why dont Hybe remove her totally ??? Just want to use her talent but not wanna give her credit 😅😅😅😅
Also why dont Hybe remove NJ ??? What are they Waiting for ??? Just want to make NJ / MHJ work but dont have freedom to claim it ??? 😅😅😅
I think all this was a strategic move as well. They have incoming lawsuits to deal with so all these moves are within that context. And are smart moves.
@@0xyGen_2.p0 whats strategic in offering someone being on board of directors, with whom you have already filed court cases ??? 😂😂😂 Are you fooling court or are you fooling that person whom you offered this ???

My 1st thought! It will look good in court for HYBE, because they made the effort to compromise. 👍👍👍
Yup 😂
My thoughts too.
Dvomim, v mesecu maju je sodnik/ca zavrgla dokaze pogovora med šamanom in Min Heejin! Dvomim, da bo Hyb zmagal. To je moje mišljenje. Srečno!
this is definitely true
@@KsenijaHajdu-x3g If you're referring to mhj's injunction case that she won, the judge determined that there was enough evidence (which was presumably either returned to HYBE, or placed in a file at court for future reference) to show that she had definitely been planning to harm HYBE, and that she actually had. Unfortunately, the judge had to adhere to the law, which said that since she hadn't harmed ADOR, the company that she had a contract with, she couldn't be fired from ADOR. This made no sense, as she also had a contract with HYBE, and HAD harmed THEM. At any rate, the injunction was only good for two months, and only kept HYBE from voting their shares in order to fire her for that specific length of time. There was nothing stopping HYBE from restructuring their company, though, so they fired the other two CEO's that mhj had brought into ADOR, replaced them with HYBE employees, and made mhj a CO-CEO. When the injunction expired, ADOR called a meeting of their Board of Directors and shareholders, with mhj attending on a Zoom call... she was voted out as CO-CEO of ADOR, and HYBE took away her shares in their company, since she was no longer entitled to them, as they were only given to CEO's as an incentive. After NJ posted their video, HYBE met with the members of NJ and their parents. It's not known what happened at this meeting, but... here we are.
I was once a fan of NewJeans from Korea, but now I no longer listen to their music due to Min Hee-jin.
Global fans may not be familiar with the cartel of Korean entertainment and sports media. Additionally, there was a fierce battle between Kakao and HYBE to acquire SM Entertainment. During this process, Kakao's CEO was involved in stock manipulation and is currently in prison. Behind Min Hee-jin stands Kakao, and behind that, the Korean entertainment and sports media cartel.
Korean entertainment and sports media have historically controlled public opinion by publishing positive or negative articles about entertainment agencies, while also controlling broadcast appearances. There have been cases where enterrainment media outlets accepted bribes or were involved in illicit favors. Both SM and YG have had numerous criminal cases involving these shady backdoor deals. You may be familiar with BigBang’s Seungri scandal. Additionally, incidents involving drugs and suicides are common in idol groups from those agencies.
Among Korea’s three major entertainment agencies, JYP has stayed clear of these dark transactions. Bang Si-hyuk, who also came from JYP, has maintained a clean direction for HYBE as well.
BTS achieved global success through social media without the help of Korean entertainment journalists. These journalists were envious and tried to downplay BTS. When BTS’s “DNA” hit the Billboard charts, Korean media barely covered it. It was only when BTS reached number one on Billboard that the Korean media began to pay attention.
There’s another reason Korean journalists dislike Bang Si-hyuk. It’s because the song "Spring Day" touches on the Sewol Ferry tragedy, which is seen as supporting the progressive side in Korea. This aligns Bang Si-hyuk with Korea’s democratic camp.
The current government in Korea is conservative, and the media is aligned with that conservative power. So, this battle isn’t between Min Hee-jin and HYBE.
It is a war where Korea's conservative media and Kakao are attacking HYBE, using Min Hee-jin as their proxy.
This was very well explained!
I guessed as much that there were political powers at play. I realized the past president/government were very supportive of HYBE. Were they of the Democratic side?
For example, Suga's case wasn't just an incident but a well planned operation. Compare that with Taeil's case which was barely covered and seems like has been completely dropped by the media.
FINALLY!! somebody who gets it, media is corrupt and involved with the political side, if not controlled by them.
But anyway... I thought Kakao was chinesse?
@lolololololol-ugh thanks for all this info! I could assume as much, but you laying it out is very helpful!
@@royal_bee4534 Currently, Korean politics is not entirely divided along ideological lines, and the media coverage of entertainment and sports often varies depending on individual journalists' perspectives rather than political agendas. However, what is clear is that almost all major entertainment outlets, such as KBS, Dong-A Ilbo, YTN, and Yonhap News, report Min Hee-jin's false claims without question and do not properly cover HYBE's rebuttal.
Thank you for this detailed explanation. Many would only know the surface level and pick sides. Glad to know I'm not the only who thinks it's much more than min hee jin vs HYBE. This is almost kakao proxy vs HYBE. And that shaman was definitely working for kakao/sm. She didn't allow min hee jin to invest money. Min hee jin will also be thrown over once they don't find any use of her.
They offered something she won't accept but that she SHOULD accept if she actually cared about New Jeans. So they come out better than she does. Even if she takes it she doesn't have the power she did before. She will have a boss over her as a producer. She was a good (though I disagree she was great) producer. New Jeans was never as successful as she made them out to be.... Just look at the issue in Japan. HOWEVER.... there needs to be a clause that keeps her from unilaterally going to the press while she is a producer. I've never worked in a company where people run to the press outside of the PR department. Doing that is damaging the company. She needs a muzzle.
Your first sentence is a reeeally good point. So much for all that "care" she claimed to have for them, and how much she was "protecting" them. I hope they see more now...
The funny this is that the offer was what? on the 17th? earlier?
And she only now answers to that?
Strange, isn't it?
@@ruthfischer7615 To take some time to answer is not strange. Also, it takes time to get in touch with collaborators and have lengthy media interviews. Give the woman some slack, she's working hard, not producing!
Also, Ador was able to talk to NJ now (THEIR group). It just makes sense to wait.
Looks like she doesn't want to leave so fast, after all...
@@Sherluck93
absolutly
I am so over this whole drama situation. Its getting super old and I can care less what happened to NJ and their witchy mom.
She is complaining allegedly that Hybe defaming her thru Forbes reporter and here she is doing interviews , presscon against Hybe.. I believe in the saying thinkers are doers. She is the epitome of a narcissist and NJ is turning out that way, as the saying goes. Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are. The people you surround yourself with will manifest in you. This is a very had lesson for Bang PD of hiring competent but on the other hand comes with this gigantic baggage of attitude and problems. This just shows that MHJ has no respect whatsoever of Bang PD . She is the resident Snake in the company .
I trust Hybe, as long as they are guided by their lawyers and they don't violate any laws. They now know what kind of person they are dealing with.
*Another win step for Hybe, boy😅😅 they are playing with her but now she will be a beast trying to get the claws out but she will made mistakes one after the other till will be taken down for good.*
Again, HYBE DID NOT KNOW that she was grooming NJ members till it was tipped off about her plotting against company THIS YEAR and only then everything came on light. I don't think that Hybe failed NJ members. How on Earth would Hybe know what is happening in Ador and how ubnormal and toxic MHJ is. If they knew, MHJ's foot would never even cross Hybe's doors, would it? And Hybe wouldn't have problems with her. Hybe SIMPLY DIDN'T KNOW. But as soon as they learned about how she groomed girls, they are trying to help NJ out being EXTRA CAREFUL not to breach NJ member's contracts. Please, Hybe can not be hold responsible for what MHJ was doing behind Hybe's back. We have to be fair about this.
Sorry to say, but MHJ has a very bad reputation when comes to how she sees/treats minors, so even tho she is a good producer (not the greatest as her PR always make appears) they should've kept an eye on her vere closely.
If Cookie, the insinuation of their other videos, and the thousands references of pedo in her work, her office and personal social accounts were not enough, then they are more blind that a cave fish (that lack eyes).
@@sisisworld being independent was part of her contract with Hybe and Hybe got no reports that something was we8rd in her relation(ship) with girls. Answer me realistically# HOW could they know? How? Hybe is board company and Hybe's board doesn't interfere with business and other decisions of their subsidiaries as long as investments into them are justified with (expected) financial and other outcomes. So please tell me how, even legally. Only after audit process was initiated against MHJ, when Hybe got a tip about really problematic actions on behalf of Ador's board led by MHJ, Hybe got an insight into the picture and revealed serious imbreachment of law and realised that she groomed both parents and girls into her game. They tealised this first only from Kakao messages and later to their surptise Hybe realised that NJ members are completely under her control. We aren't talking about artistic influences here, we are talking about psychological grooming and clear signs of a Stockholm syndrome these girls suffer from as a result of being psychologically groomed and brainwashed. Since Hybe is aware what is goung on, Hybe is trying to separate girls from thair groomer which is logical, ethical and responsible response. Hybe is trying to protect girls and empower them as artists, make them to believe in themselves, trying to make them realise that it is their talent for which they are successful, not only or exclusively work of managment or producers. But girls refuse to believe in their own strenght. Which is typical for mentality of the groomed, such person believes that it can't survive without its abuser because the abuser fixated that belief into them. Hybe didn't know about situation to prevent it, but it is trying to protect girls since it is aware of it. Also, what are chances that a CEO you will employ will show up as child abuser? Suvh cases happen but are very rare. Because even abuser was not born as abuser, it develops into abuser eventually, especially if situation plays in their hand. MHJ coming to Ador was situation playing in her hand because multilabel system is based on independence of sublabels. So she could be doing whatever she wanted and Hybe wouldn't know unless it was tipped off about it, or if financial crisis or the police report about something fishy is going on would bring their attention to a sublabel to investigate it. And this is exacy what happened - Hybe was warned that something bad is going on with MHJ, and Hybe immediatelly reacted with audit. With which she still doesn't cooperate and refuses to give up her laptop. These are facts. Hybe did not failled girls by pushing themnin hands of MHJ knowing that she is abuser, right? If Hybe knew that she was abuser, MHJ would never ever get job in Hybe and get chance for damaging Hybe. Please understand this.
I completely agree with this comment. I trust Hybe and we have seen the idols they house as a symbol and extension of their principles. Its just that with all that happened with glam and how netizens felt about how they handle girlgroups, Hybe wanted to give NWjns all the support and advantage they needed to succeed but MHJ exploited that sentiment and tried to turn it to her advantage at the expense of HYBE.
@@splendore.ngrandeur3599 I think that Hybe is really being fair with NJ, even giving NJ a chance for MHJ staying as producer till end of NJ contracts, but Hybe can't force girls to accept Hybe's help, including psychological support if they refuse it. It simply isn't fair to blame Hybe for what MHJ was doing to girls. If you knew that a teacher was p3d0, would you employ him in kindergarten or school? Of course you wouldn't. Hybe didn't know MHJ's real face. But now Hybe knows it too well, and it's fixing situation as much as it is in power of Hybe to fix it.
Hope they realize she won't change....and NJs attitude and dependency is not normal or healthy....they are adults....
Love your channel! Thank you for doing the research and making it interesting….
Hybe took the middle ground way. It's true very generous considering what she said,how she bad mouth the Company you work for.I hope this will not be used as barometer for future kpop groups to demand from their company like they did. Hybe this time should and must put terms and conditions to protect the company from these kind of employees including this group. Next time these employees do something the clause should include stringent punishment.
Don't worry they played to her ego she refused it.
I feel Hybe is covering all bases.
- offering MHJ to stay because of NJ request. So Hybe is considering the artists request. They are also doing what is best for NJ.
- they are shown to be negotiating with MHJ. They are allowing her to stay with NJ and in charge of the group which was her original request. Despite her actions they are willing to keep her.
I am not an expert, but legally they are ticking all the boxes right? So if MHJ or NJ want to go to court, Hybe is proven to be handling the situation appropriately, right?
Correct.
@@eileencritchley4630 I really want them to keep goingbwoth the offer then. If MHJ and NJ don't accept and want to go to court then Hybe can at least defend itself. I'm not pro-Hybe but I am really anti-MHJ. I just don't trust her.
I hope you are right. I do hope that they are extremely aware of the consequences of leaving a cancerous spot on your body - it spreads. They will need to keep a veeeeery close eye on it 24/7, lest it affects and destroy those around it.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer 🤓
I can’t believe this 😮 but I also don’t have a “business bone “ in my body. I’m a kindergarten teacher and I’m wired rather emotionally. I can admit that 😅 that’s why I think it’s horrible that they offered this woman to stay with these girls.
But thank you for this analysis. I do understand the intentions. And if she stays they maybe can look out more for these girls now. But what a headache to be honest…. To have that woman in your company that made such a ruckus and betrayed you. Narcissists are such a pain to deal with 🫠
MHJ can't be controlled whether in or out of HYBE. She will continue to spread negativity to those around her and infect as many people as possible. This whole drama is draining and I do worry that it has already affected BTS and will continue to do so. I don't understand how MHJ and NJ are getting away with the egregious things they have said against Hybe. I guess I wouldn't be good at business because all these mind games are exhausting. MHJ is smart enough to know exactly what HYBE is planning to do. My only hope is that she'll be true to her greedy self and won't accept the terms and litigation will take over.
I commented on another post that HYBE needs a gumiho, a 9 tailed fox who can outfox her. 😏😏😏
The drama continues… this drama is getting so old. 🙄 Hopefully this “offer” includes a gag order for her and NJ. The longer they stay, the more damage they will do to BigHit, HYBE, and BTS.
I think it was a smart move because they knew MHJ wld say no. They knew she'd pick herself. My favorite part is that she wanted them not to include in the new contract what she called a "poisoned pill," which is just she can be fired at will! lol! Like a regular employee.
I work for a big organization and whenever we need to "remove" someone with indefinitive contract and is not posible to reach a monetary agreement, then that someone is assigned to a job we know he or she does not want and/or where she or he wont cause major troubles, then that person is fully monitored and whenever an objective is not achieved or there is a mistake a warning is provided, after 2 of those... the person is fired. Sometimes they just decide to look for another job instead of staying. All thi is kind of hard and unhuman but it is what it is. Big coorporations works on that way.
i agree, she is luck to have such an offer...nothing against New Jeans i absolutely don't know what i would do if New Jeans wasn't around...they get me through my days...new jeans is very young and doesn't realize the cutthroat business world of kpop...their intentions were well meaning on their part and they will learn how things work as time goes by and they mature...i love them and give my full support for them but minheejin is not what they thing she is ..they would make it without her even though she has made them believe that they would no....this offer made by Hybe is very generous and much more than i anticipated them offering. However Hybe made this decision based on a business decision and not emotion, which i was glad to see. so she should feel blessed that she got this offer and settle down and get back to work. take car of OUR GIRLS is the most important thing not minheejin.
It's a saying...
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.
And I hope the girls as they grow older, will know her better
I'm standing illit and Katseye for GG.

Yoooo...don't you feel RM wrote that song to her lol. Always throw a f...n slider when it come to money
For me is like HYBE is putting a leash on her neck. So she will stop growling anywhere around. Because she´s like a dog with virus. She can put stains, and she has nothing to loose. She have to be thankful for HYBE. And yes, you have to keep your enemies close.
Keep your friends close - your enemies closer.
No creo que sea idea mía, pero, pase lo que pase quien más pierde siento que es NY ya que imagino que si hay litigio eso involucra de algún modo una suspensión de actividades mientras esté vigente. Y mientras se resuelva si hay o no litigio siguen en suspenso y enfocadas en el conflicto. HYBE sigue con su corporación, MJY gane o no la pelea imagino que algo se va a llevar (además del daño de imagen de las empresas ADOR y HYBE). Y, si NY logra su independencia va a quedar marcada como desleal empresarialmente lo que siento los pondría en desventaja ante posibles problemas futuros donde ya estarían enmarcadas como problemáticas para futuros empleadores. Tal vez esté equivocada, son cosas en que he pensado desde que comenzó todo. Saludos desde Argentina.
Great analysis and
helpful info! I am concerned or the well being of the new jeans members. Mistreated folks getting to choose to stay with those who harmed them without any intervention to deprogram them and enable them to more clearly see their own agency and the harm done by their leadership frightens me.
Stop wasting concern for those nj they don't care
@@lawaanjaideelyon1890 they may not but many of them were children when mhj came into their lives and began grooming them. I care about harmed children. Even when they side with the culprits
Thank you for your very unbiased video. To be honest, I'm surprised to see something like this from the ARMY corner. Thank you for that.
On the subject: it was actually clear from the beginning that the ultimatum would have no effect (I mean who are they to dictate something?). However, MHJ has the advantage of having the long term plan for NJ. HYBE now has the problem that they actually know that NJ has a positive impact on their income (not that much like 50% or something but even 2% is good. In 2023, they were debt-free) and that only MHJ is able to manage them. Otherwise they just would have fired her by November. NJ have brand deals left and right which is also income. So what can HYBE do? The best solution would be, if MHJ would accept the offer by HYBE but without the parts, who could have her fired the next day.
The lawyers have to agree on something here. There's no point in people getting involved on X, especially in areas they have no idea about (suddenly everyone is a lawyer). Less media play from both sides would also help to ease the situation.
@ Jeff Benjamin: He is just a columnist and ofc he have to hear all sides. Otherwise it's just Fox News. From what I understood was, that he tried to contact both sides, got some informations from the PR team of HYBE with something, MHJ didn't like. But that doesn't mean, that this was defamatory material. ARMY twisted his words, Tokkis too and in a few hours it's the weekend and the show can begin :)
Keeping Nj is a liability. The brand was built on copying and lies. We all know HYBE don't need the elementary girls. HYBE already got replacements. HYBE don't need MIN .you are wrong do you really think HYBE cares what this crazy woman does.
They don't.
But if they had paid more attention to her NJ would not suffered from what she did. They are mentally dependent on her.
Monitoring them is the least they can do for her victims.
Isnt this very close to what they originally offered
No that was for 2 months until nov
it is exactly what they already offered plus sit in the board. I wouldn't give her a sit in the board, however she can't do much harm in board as such in sense that she can't beat another votes. Bad side of this is : she will have all the information on decision-making level and will leak it to SME. That's why I hope she rejects a role of producer and leaves Hybe in month or so completely. Sit in board should be conditioned with signing as a producer. If she rejects producing, there is absolutely no reason to keep as as internal director and a board member.
Its a keep your enemies close situation..
MHJ’s goose is cooked and Hybe is the chef!
The fact that mhj thinks the clause giving Hybe the right to terminate her contracts as being ‘toxic’ shows you what she is all about. She spent all this time trying to destroy Hybe’s reputation, insulting the management with rude and demeaning swear words. She also decided to start renegotiating a 5 year contract in year 3 when most negotiate in the last year. She is all over the press and news channels maligning the company. After all of that, she thinks it’s unreasonable for Hybe to want that clause to be included, which by the way is a standard contract. All contracts have the option to terminate early. She is kookoo for koko puffs.
I'm not an army and I quit kpop for a couple of years before New Jeans came out. New Jeans brought a new generation of listeners. They were fresh and brought something new to the table. They had even some celebrities listening to their music. They achieved so much for 2 years. Le seraphim is under hype too but why are they not at NewJeans caliber?
MHJ is definitely fuming! She may be calm on the surface, bit she's a raging storm on the inside. She's getting desperate and on panic mode. From now on, it will be onemistakes after another. Her downfall is fast approaching, her "allies" will betray her, and the media...well...we already know what will happen.
As for NJ, they need a new fresh concept, reinvent themselves and show the world their real talent as GFRIEND comeback is in January. The KATSEYE debut is doing great on the charts, ILLIT will have a comeback soon. LE SSERAFIM are on roll.
So if she had accepted to produce nj s, would this have been with hybe's financial and other resources?
yes
She would never.
It would mean she lost.
It would also mean others would profit from her "genius" and not her and that is unaccaptable.
It would mean she does not get her money, power, recognitation, ADOR and likely loose NJ in the long run as they grow up and it would be itnerefered in her gaslighting over years and they become confident in who they are and what they have archieved.
She blindly ran into that trap... or I would have said that if that offer hadn't been so old. When was it? On the 17th? Before that?
She is desperate and flings accusations in hope that something sticks and she is considered the victim.
She may also have been loosing backers. Who knows?
@@ruthfischer7615 I think so too. But if she doesn't accept the deal, she looses everything.

She thinks/hopes she can win the injunction and that it will make everything else HYBE has done to counter as if it was never done at all.
At the end of the day BUSSINESS IS BUSSINESSS
THATS THE MINDSET OF BUSSINESS ENTHUSIAST.EVEN U OWN COMPANY,U HAVE ALSO CONSIDER THE INVESTOR,THATS Y WITCH MENHEJIN STILL THERE😒😒😒😒😒
It’s the long game HYBE is playing. They know she’ll keep doing the same nonsense and she’s out. They’re also letting New Jeans dig their own hole. I don’t think the future is that bright for them.
Gracias por compartir
Honestly, though, isn't New Jeans' success up to those who buy their music? Hybe may allow them and their momma to stay, but unless they do well in the market, keeping them is good for nothing. So, ultimately, it's up to those who've been purchasing their music, promoting them on social media, voting for them, and supporting them. BigHit and BTS knew this and used it to promote themselves and overcome the hurdles those in the music industry put in their way. They recognized the power of their followers and fostered that relationship. The real question is, can New Jeans and MHJ do the same? I don't think they can. And even if they do, another question to consider is this, "Do they have staying power?" Again, I don't think they do. My main hope and prayer is this whole drama is resolved BEFORE the remaining BTS members leave the military. Because if not, you can believe those supporting NJ will try to pull them into this mess. Right now, they are distanced from it solely because of the military rules of conduct. Let's just all hope this mess is over before the remaining members rejoin Jin and JHope.
We want them to sue, that why they got Calvin Klien, The girls going to Fashion week.
i dont get why does mhj claim all of those things. she would know hybe could maybe have recorded the meeting who knows or have proof of that. is she trying to force hybe proof themself or something? this is no longer things that could be misunderstood at a meeting. like the money and leave offer. if she claimed that she should have shown the offer on paper. if they dont have that i think it´s stupid to make such an importaint meeting without a note taker who can write about the meeting. even the smallest meetings i have taken i was emailed a letter about it afterwards. but i don´t buy the reason for wanting her back. not all of it. because why did they go throught all of that to fire her and then wanting to take her back. nj has said they want mhj from the beginning why did they wait before nj made that yt live?
i agree on reason for wanting to keep the brand of nj and that she could run it under supervision, and it would be a quick fix to the problem. but i think they already knew mhj would reject the offer. maybe hybe found out who the investor of nj is and want to stop that from happening. i can assure they know more than we do and already have people on it to see what the other part has in their back. so i think hybe set up these terms as a way to proof that they at least tried so if nj sues and leave hybe after that, than people will blame them. as they should in the first place but strangely enough many still dont.
I'm pretty sure HYPE wants to control MHJ and wants her to help other groups within the company. She probably refused to help so they are attacking her.
Hybe is all out when she was ousted as ceo...they only offered her 2mos. ..now they changed their mind that fast? Im not for hybe, i just want a pleasant working environment for BTS.
they offered her same thing as two months ago...I only want to know if sit in board and internal director position stays with her even if she refuses producing NJ, or not. My guess is that board sot and production contract are related. If not, Hybe will be paying her for nothing plus she will be able to collect internal information# sell it to Hybe's enemues, and looking for cracks to use them in her advantage and hit Hybe back. This is why if she refuses producing for NJ, she should be out completelly. BTW. Hybe offered her something she alreasy rejected. Points on court for Hybe, minus for her. It is chess game so wait and don't judge too fast. We have only seen first moves, and is ALMOST chess-mat position for MHJ, but not yet fully chess-mat. Time is running though and MHJ has only 1 month left
BTS is in bighit, Ador and Hybe are not involved in the day to day operation of Bighit
She isn't trying to take it though and that is Hybes way to get her out, and she has no grounds to sue. They aren't being generous she said no that's end of story.
Hola, pero no se ha comprobado que el concepto de nj es de una banda latino de los 80? Como pueden ver eso como ignovador?
If NJ's, attempts to sue Hybe, for contract termination I wonder on what grounds?
they don't have a legal ground for this. This is why they tried with "manager said her to ignore me" and " Hybe was downplaying success of NJ in Tokyo/Japan, and Chairman didn't say hello. They want to constitute these 3 things as "harassment" to be able to leave Hybe and keep the money. Stupidity and manipulative nature of those "harrassment" claims is visible from helicopter. NJ have NOTHING against Hybe that constitutes as a breach of their contracts, and that's just a fact. They have lot of privileges from Hybe though.
Thats why Hbe is playing with them
How would Hybe get New Jeans to do anything if they did not let them have her. They do not respect anyone or anything and even think that all of this has come because of Min Hee-jin which is sad. They think they are nothing without her and that is just not true but it shows how isolated and brainwashed they have been over years. You will not be able to break them out of it quickly. It will have to be a process where they will have to stop listening to her and start believeing the truth about her. She isn't going to let that happen right now. She obviously will tell every lie, claim every victomhood, even making them believe they are victims, but not of her of course. They will be difficult for anyone to work with right now. These girls have a lot of hard realities coming their way no matter what happens. They have been living in a fantasyland that is not the reality of the real world and may never overcome it. How sad.
In Hybe's contract with MHJ, and by order of the judge, Hybe has to side with MHJ, they legally had to back her
..MHJ doesn’t seem to be “biting the bait”.. she knows HYBE will still get rid of her whenever they can..she will counter their offer..🤷🏻♀️
I agree that MHJ made sure they were isolated 😢
NJ really torpedoed so much good will with their immaturity. MHJ isn't helping them grow to be respected in the industry. She basically is getting them to chart, but at the expense of their reputations and personality development.
Que cela serve de leçon à Hybe mais plus vite il dégageront cette femme et ses filles et plus vite, les Army se sentiront bien, en tous les cas moi. Ces personnes m'exaspèrent au plus au point. Voilà des malheureuses, pleureuses qui veulent rester dans une société où elles sont maltraitées c'est un haut degré de cynisme ou de stupiidité. Pour la mère c'est le premier car une bonne manipulatrice et pour les filles c'est le deuxième car elles sont à un tel niveau de bêtises que s'en est désolant.
I agree with everything you say but have a question. Is being an "at will" employee, especially in management, unusual in SK? In the US this is not uncommon but in our system labor rights are very weak and management is rarely covered.
If MHJ has a blackbook on each of the top guns and artists in HYBE, she has not used all her cards yet. Or she has shown to them, and they have no way out, except to "keep" her before she destroys everything. Defiinitely, i go down, u go down with me, especially as i have nothing to lose now. Watching this MHJ vs HYBE corporate drama is like watching a few movies at one go! And NJ being "kidnapped" for "ransom". Also, MHJ has supporters who are equally powerful who wants the same thing: bring HYBE & BTS down. MHJ is just a "frontman". BPD must have offended them greatly, and MHJ is just sb hired to achieve revenge. Hmmm..waiting for the drama to end..SOON. Wish it's SUITS, that in a few episodes, we know the verdict. 😂
I trust BTS, but it does make me feel skeptical that they know MHJ try to tarnish their name and basically want to destroy them and NewJeans is standing next to her side. when I saw Jungkook‘s post about supporting NJ it kind of shocked me, I would support NewJeans more if they remained out of the drama. But I feel like they are being selfish. They didn’t it build up hybe, BTS DID.
My understanding is that board of directors are above the CEO?
If you are a BOD member, the other members may elect you as a CEO. That's how they function in Korea, according to their laws. However, membership to it has an expiry date. MHJ's membership will expire in November. I heard it won't be renewed.
💰Chase the Dollar!💰Big Mistake!💰
🎃Why?🎃CEO is [Out of the Question]!🎃
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer! The offer to MHJ to remain a director and producer even after she tried to screw Hybe (and BTS) is already generous. Cut it where it hits the most 💰💵💶
I tried to understand newjeans, but after the live streaming they did, I don't think they are worth to stan anymore. Everytime I see a content with a title "newjeans" I click not interested.
I wanted to believe they are just shields and sword mhj is using for her own benefit, and they're just close minded to see that. That way I can still like them, but nah idk they seem to really choose to be part of this mess. Well I can't blame them, it just happen that MHJ mastered the art of manipulation. Too bad, they have the potential to become big, just like the 1st generation of Fifty Fifty.
Like many corporate companies, they want to have the upper hand. Good luck Min Hee Jin....fight the good fight for yourself and for New Jeans.
She talked bad about hype and she wants to stay????dah....psycho
She wants the 75 million USD, ADOR and NJ and will not cut her losses.
For that she needs to be in ADOR.
This whole mess is between MHJ and Bang Si-Hyuk and the girls are thrown in the middle of it. Bang Si-Hyuk treats NewJeans like Cinderella while treating the other girl groups like the sisters. He never wanted NewJeans because the beef between him and MHJ.
Wrong.
BSH thought MHJ was good at her job and when she demended space to do her work he gave it to her bit by bit.
If someone was treated like princesses it was NJ.
- luxury dorm that they designed from the very beginning
- fashion ambassadorship not only as a group but as individual from pretty much debut
- 2 months break after each promotion circle
- no debt/earning from debut a lot of money
- highest floor for their label (above BH)
- their own social media plattform phoning - weverse houses everyone else and more
Bang - after leaving his CEO position - wrote/produced music for any artist that would take it/did not so much on their own like SVT and BTS:
TXT, Enhypen, Le Sserafim and Illit
I would not be surprised if he offered to do it for NJ, too, but MHJ refused because it would interfere with her branding and controll of NJ. As a result e is a tick closer with those artists.
But not anywhere near as much as NHJ is too NJ.... not even to BTS despite the jokes.
@@ruthfischer7615 I'm not reading all of that because im not a HYBE loyalist 👍 Support NewJeans 💙
@rohnbosley4811 the inability to listen to a counter argument won't serve you well in life and might leave you open to manipulation.
@@rohnbosley4811
When you and them learn to read and learn to use your brain maybe you will become an adult in a few years.
@rohnbosley4811 of course not! You already know you spewed BS!
Can you please support your claim that Min Hee Jin did all the things that HYBE claim she did? Nobody, not even HYBE can directly and physically show evidence to the public of things they claim MHJ did. Even the judge dismissed the claims due to lack of evidence?
I also can’t believe that Hybe is allowing MHJ to continue to work with NJ given her toxic personality. It’s similar to when your child is throwing a tantrum and you give into the demands. I can’t deal with this situation anymore it’s too draining.
I want to know what majority of S.Korean citizens think about this matter?
They stopped believing her.
Sure there are the bunnies but most postive comments/attacks on other HYBE artists and the company is paid marketing.
@@ruthfischer7615 Does that affect any court decision? I mean public opinion?
@@bodi_lionlook
In court? IDK.
But it does impact other artists.
