Amid continuous revelations of Dispatch against Min Hee Jin, f(x) Krystal Jung is being dragged into the issue after THIS conversation between the ADOR CEO and her shaman has been leaked.
On July 25, the Korean media outlet released a comprehensive list of Min Hee Jin's relevant exchanges with the shaman she consulted about her life's decisions, especially regarding her career as a CEO.
It also outlined the timeline of its in-fighting with HYBE and Source Music, her bad habits, and exclusive reports from inside ADOR that haven't been publicly revealed.
Among the 47 items, one of the topics that drew the attention of K-pop enthusiasts the most was item no. 4, stating:
"The content of her prayer is also creative. For example, prohibiting 'X' from a girl group of imitating her."
In a screenshot provided, Min Hee Jin is seen blatantly accusing the female idol of copying her and then implying that the star, known as her "muse," was following her style.
"Everyone thought 'X' is my muse? Or something like that. But in reality, 'X' stole and has been copying my taste and style. I want to set the facts straight. To be honest, 'X' has been copying me. I hope 'X' will receive this 'prayer' well. All this time, 'X' has been pretending a lot."

When the shaman replied that she has to express it like that through possession, Min continued to diss her along with the shaman, describing her as "mentally unwell," "crazy b*tch" and more.
Here's the rest of the conversation:
MHJ: That's right. You know well what I'm talking about. But that kid is always concerned about her style being copied, will that work?"
Shaman: Even if she's a crazy b*tch, I'll still possess her.
MHJ: If she's weird, will it not work?
Shaman: Yeah, she's definitely mentally unwell.
MHJ: X? She's a bit cocky.
Shaman: I'm going to make her confess that she's your copycat.
When this convo spread online, K-Netz and international K-pop fans immediately thought of Krystal Jung. While the media didn't mention her name in any form, people speculated Min is talking about her because it's known in the community that the idol is the CEO's "muse."Since Min was still working for SM, the former label of Krystal Jung, she's been using her as an artistic inspiration.
When she launched NewJeans, many people even claimed that their image and concept were reminiscent of the second-gen K-pop icon. But more than being a "muse," Min and Jung were close friends.
Thus, K-pop stans were frustrated that the former could be referring to the female idol. On X and Korean fora, internet users called out the ADOR CEO for claiming that the idol followed her and copied her style when Krystal's image was heavily influenced by her mother.
