Netizens are reacting to a particularly controversial portion of Dispatch’s exclusive article about Min Hee Jin.
On December 2, Dispatch published a report accusing former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin of tampering allegations and her alleged involvement in several recent events: NewJeans’ abrupt YouTube live broadcast, Hanni’s National Assembly appearance, and the press conference announcing the group’s contract termination. The report claims Min Hee Jin played a central role in orchestrating these incidents.
In their report, Dispatch highlighted alleged messages from Min Hee Jin, accusing her of attempting to strike an “unethical and immoral deal.”
In the messages, she reportedly said, “I was flirting like crazy with (a high-ranking HYBE executive), sitting close, asking them to come closer because I couldn’t hear. I’m not saying I want to engage in body lobbying… but if sleeping with them once makes things easier, maybe it’s possible. I think I could make (the executive) completely hooked after one night.”
According to the report, the alleged inappropriate actions did not occur because the other party severed ties with Min Hee Jin. However, Dispatch claims she ultimately succeeded in bringing NewJeans to ADOR, noting that she recruited the group from Source Music in 2021.
The article sparked a divided response online, particularly over the accusations involving “flirting” with a HYBE executive. While some criticized Dispatch, others directed their criticism toward Min Hee Jin. Many comments expressed concern that derogatory accusations against the former CEO could result in defamation lawsuits.
Some netizens also argued that these claims could be easily disproven by the HYBE executive in question. Regardless of the truth, they felt Dispatch crossed a line by delving too deeply into individuals’ “private lives.”
Comments include:
“The sexual harassment is insane. How can anyone know if this is even the original source?”
“Isn’t this revealing too much about her personal life?”
“This isn’t about her personal life lol. It’s just that none of this ever happened.”
“This article is so disgusting.”
“Wow… this article is truly low. Talking about her views on women—does claiming Min Hee Jin has strange views on women erase their own wrongdoings?”
“Wow, there are so many people in these comments who don’t realize how scary this situation is, haha.”
“Now they’re even going as far as sexual harassment.”
“Is this spreading false information?”
“Did they seriously write this and call it an article?”
“Wow, this is definitely grounds for a lawsuit.”
“If it’s true, it’s definitely not a good look.”
“Wow… no, this article feels so maliciously intent on ruining someone that it’s disgusting.”
“The article is so malicious it’s beyond criticism; it’s straight-up defamation.”
“Wow, they’re really going off the rails now. The article is so low-class I feel bad for wasting my phone’s battery reading it.”
“Haha, the fact that there are people who believe this is more concerning. Seriously…”
“When a woman succeeds, they’re so desperate to tear her down. It’s not even funny—this isn’t the 1980s, come on.”
“The article title is disgusting. I think this should be grounds for a lawsuit too.”
“Wow, this is seriously hopeless. They’ve crossed the line so many times, but this is just way too far. Isn’t this exactly what Min Hee Jin was referring to at the press conference about the kind of dirty things women face in the workplace?”
“I’m so shocked by Min Hee Jin. I never imagined she was this kind of person.”
“Wow… how can people write comments like this…??”
