Recent leaks of text messages between officials of South Korean record label ADOR have raised serious concerns about the conduct of CEO Min Hee Jin and Vice President Lee. These messages, revealed by a South Korean media outlet on May 27, appear to confirm accusations made by HYBE Labels, ADOR’s parent organization, against Min Hee Jin amidst an ongoing legal battle for control.
The leaked messages suggest that Min Hee Jin and Vice President Lee were involved in a scheme to orchestrate ADOR’s departure from HYBE’s multi-label system. Their discussions revolve around plans to use the media to apply pressure on HYBE, with mentions of BTS, the globally renowned K-pop group managed by HYBE, drawing particular attention.

In one message, Vice President Lee discusses taking action against HYBE before BTS’s anticipated return to the music industry, indicating a strategic move to capitalize on the group’s popularity. In addition, the messages reveal discussions about building alliances with various individuals and entities to undermine HYBE’s position.
Moreover, the leaked texts indicate a willingness to manipulate public opinion and engage in unethical practices, such as attempting to buy out another group managed by ADOR and exploiting the parents of group members to act against HYBE.
