On December 2, 2024, Distpatch released a series of exposés about Min Hee Jin‘s alleged lies. In a numbered list, the tabloid detailed their debunk of multiple statements from the former CEO, including some damning photos of her meeting up with NewJeans and their family members.
1. Min Hee Jin’s past comments about artists
Min Hee Jin’s past text messages were released by Dispatch. Dispatch did not provide any context to the text messages, but accused Min Hee Jin of making them about NewJeans.
“Working hard while tamping down disgust? LOL. Feels like I’m working for the benefit of others. It’s wasted on upkeep for immature kids.” “LOL. What would they know? It gives me a reality check when I see how they are only thinking of dancing while looking at the mirror. Is this what they call working?” “What artists? I have said so many times that they are not artists. Don’t annoy me by saying that word. What artists?”
2. Alleged knowledge of NewJeans’ first live broadcast and using the members to speak
NewJeans previously held a shocking live broadcast where they claimed that “no managers or staff” knew about the broadcast. They also mentioned a strong request for wanting Min Hee Jin to be reinstated. Dispatch obtained a text from Min Hee Jin to the girls’ family members dated on September 11, 2024, the same day as the broadcast. In the text, Min Hee Jin states that she hopes HYBE will make an offer of reinstatement. Dispatch claimed that Min Hee Jin used the girls to speak up for her given that her request aligns with that of NewJeans.
Min Hee Jin relays what she replied to an unnamed source, to the girls’ family members.
“I hope that you will propose an offer of cooperation in response to my clear request to be reinstated to CEO in order to normalize management again.” This was my reply to them.
— Min Hee Jin’s text
Through other texts, it can also be noted that Min Hee Jin knew about the YouTube live stream.
Family member: “Are they doing the live stream now?”
Min Hee Jin: “[Member redacted]’s Dad, no, at seven. We pushed it back a little on purpose, because Bunnies released something amazing. HYBE got caught cursing me out, and even their sexual harassment was revealed. Thank God. He’s setting up the stage for the girls to do well.”
Family member: “Is the YouTube live stream at 7?”
3. Hanni’s audit appearance
Hanni previously stated through messages that the company and managers did not know that she decided on making an appearance at the audit against HYBE. The night before the audit on October 8, 2024, Dispatch caught Hanni visiting Min Hee Jin’s studio. Dispatch claimed that the legal documents wielded in hand by Hanni were likely to be a summons from the officials due to the audit, leading Dispatch to believe that she had a talk with Min Hee Jin the night before the audit.
4. Min Hee Jin meeting with DAVOLINK through Hyein‘s uncle
Netizens Accuse HYBE Of Negative Mediaplay Against NewJeans Hyein’s Family
Previously, rumors of Min Hee Jin meeting up with DAVOLINK, a company linked with Hyein’s uncle, went viral. She was accused of keeping in contact with them as an investor. Then, Min Hee Jin denied through an official statement that she was not in contact with external investors, denying a case similar to FIFTY FIFTY’s tampering.
Dispatch caught her meeting up with Hyein’s uncle and the owner of DAVOLINK. It was said that Hyein’s uncle had linked the two up, with Min Hee Jin traveling to meet the owner at his house in a van sent by Hyein’s uncle.
They allegedly spoke for three hours in his in-house meeting room. It was said that they had discussed the possibility of taking NewJeans with her, out of HYBE.
It was said that Hyein’s uncle first, asked DAVOLINK’s CEO could invest around ₩5.00 billion KRW (about $3.58 million USD). The CEO spoke to Dispatch, claiming that he was approached first, and that Hyein’s uncle seemed to be looking for investors, admitting to having conversed with Min for three hours.
On October 2, 2024, according to an automated online business registration system, two new internal directors were reported for DAVOLINK. This took place two days after Min’s meeting with the CEO. A “Lee” and a “Park” were registered. The CEO claimed that Min Hee Jin had both of them by her side and that their names were uploaded after the investor meeting she had with him. Later on, their names were taken down because Min Hee Jin denied having contact with investors, naturally including DAVOLINK. DAVOLINK’s CEO allegedly “complained to Dispatch” about the sudden change, claiming that “they were the ones who came knocking at my door.”
5. Min Hee Jin’s climb up the corporate ladder
Dispatch lastly claimed that Min Hee Jin used immoral ways to steal NewJeans from Source Music. They obtained some of her text messages, claiming that she used her body to climb the corporate ladder.
“I flirted heavily with [redacted] LOL.” “I made him come closer saying I couldn’t hear him, sitting closer to him.” “I think I can make him totally fall for me if I just sleep with him once…” “It’s not that I want to lobby using my body, but if sleeping with him will make things easier, then I can.”
It was said that she used “love spells” from a shaman to achieve this, casting them on four to five men. Although she was rejected romantically, she allegedly was able to take NewJeans from Source Music to ADOR.
