The police have officially cleared former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin of breach of trust allegations filed by HYBE.

On July 15 KST, Min’s representatives confirmed that the Seoul Yongsan Police Station found no wrongdoing in HYBE’s April 2024 complaint. “After over a year of investigation, both cases submitted by HYBE were dismissed without charges,” the statement read. Min had undergone around eight hours of questioning during the investigation, confidently telling reporters, “Calling this breach of trust doesn’t even make sense,” and asserting that she and her legal team had ample evidence to support her case.

HYBE had accused Min of attempting to take control of ADOR despite being a minority shareholder, prompting a police complaint and a bid to remove her through a shareholder vote.

However, the Seoul Central District Court sided with Min, granting an injunction that blocked HYBE from exercising its voting rights, stating that HYBE failed to sufficiently justify her dismissal. The court acknowledged that Min had sought more independent governance for ADOR, particularly regarding the group NewJeans, but ruled that her actions did not amount to criminal breach of trust. With the police now dismissing HYBE’s complaint, Min Hee Jin emerges with a significant legal and public victory.
