NewJeans Danielle Emotionally Speaks Out Regarding Min Hee Jin's Dismissal: 'I'm Going Through A Rough Time'
Danielle's emotional message regarding Min Hee Jin's dismissal made headlines.
Earlier on August 27, ADOR officially announced that Min Hee Jin would no longer be the company's CEO. The role has also been placed into Kim Joo Young, a Human Resources expert. However, Min Hee Jin would still be working as an internal director and work with the production of NewJeans.
Following the removal, an infighting occurred between Min Hee Jin and HYBE, with the former's legal representatives claiming how the dismissal was an unfair move.
Adding fuel to the fire, some of NewJeans' lore content online has been removed. Dolphiners Films Director Shin Woo Seok also took to Instagram and shared that the team would now be unable to work with ADOR and NewJeans due to ADOR's new policies, causing netizens to speculate HYBE's "sabotage" on the group.
