HYBE vs. Min Hee-jin 🔥 | Hungry New Jeans Mama's $20M Lawsuit
Remember when NewJeans Mama said this wasn't about the money? That it was about protecting the girls from evil HYBE? Turns out—it was always about the money. 💸 And now, the artists she claimed to protect are the ones shielding her on the legal front lines.
Last week’s Seoul courtroom clash exposed what’s really at stake: a $20 million stock option, a leaked shareholders’ agreement, and a producer-turned-CEO who may have weaponized her own artists, legal loopholes, and even a plagiarism scandal to secure power.
In this episode, we unpack:
🧾 The two simultaneous lawsuits—Min’s $20M put option claim vs. HYBE’s move to confirm her contract termination.
đź‘‘ Whether Min Hee-jin was ever truly "CEO for life" or just thought she was royalty.
📉 Why leaking her own contract may have voided her biggest financial leverage.
⚖️ HYBE’s claim that Min abused power during a sexual harassment case—and allegedly plotted to punish whistleblowers.
🎠The Illit plagiarism scandal—exposed as a legal weapon, not artistic justice.
🤯 “Project 1945,” ADOR sabotage claims, BTS return deadlines, and an alleged plot to trigger regulatory probes. And yes—HYBE showed receipts. Emails. Memos. Messenger logs. Even an audit that dug up "parasite-level treachery" just in time.
📍Next hearing: June 12. Mark your calendars—because this K-pop power struggle is far from over.
