  "textContent": "**SOURCE: (1) 어도어 \"민희진, 뉴진스 라이브 방송 지시했다\" (2) \"민희진, 뉴진스 라이브 방송·'전속계약 해지선언'까지 지시\"**\n\nThe ongoing **legal** **battle** between **ADOR** , **NewJeans** , and **former** **ADOR** **CEO** **Min** **Heejin** (who is now the CEO of OOAK Records) just took an absolutely **wild** **turn**.\n\nOn the 2nd, the **Seoul Central District Court** ’s Civil Agreement Division 31 held the **third** **hearing** for **ADOR’s** **damages** **lawsuit** against Danielle, her family, and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin.\n\nADOR is suing them for **alleged** **breaches** **of** **exclusive** **contract** , and while they originally demanded **43.1 billion KRW** , they’ve trimmed it down to **33.09 billion KRW**. To back up the case, **ADOR** just dumped **a mountain of evidence** claiming that **Min** **Heejin** **orchestrated** a**scheme to lure the girls away from the label**. According to ADOR, Min Heejin was actively **encouraging** **the** **members** **to** **terminate** **their** **contracts** while she was an **internal** **director** and kept doing it even after she **stepped** **down**.\n\nADOR submitted a transcript from **September 2, 2024** to the court. In it, Min Heejin allegedly persuaded the **NewJeans’ members’ parent** s to **push** **forward** with that sudden **emergency** **livestream** they did. Her exact words were apparently:\n\n> _**“We need to create evidence for the contract termination lawsuit.”**_\n\nIt turns out that Min Heejin originally **wanted to be in the livestream** herself, but she explicitly stated that she had to **remain completely separate** from it because of **tampering** **risks** , which ADOR argues proves she knew exactly how **legally dangerous** her involvement was. About **ten** **days** **later** , the girls held the livestream **demanding** **Min** **Heejin** to be **reinstated** **as** **CEO**. This completely **contradicts** everything Min Heejin said before about trying to stop the members from doing the livestream.\n\nADOR also claims that around **October 20, 2024,** Min Heejin was aggressively **pushing** **the** **parents** **to** **terminate** **the** **contracts**. She promised them that even in the worst-case scenario, they **wouldn’t suffer from any financial disadvantages** and promised that if they left HYBE, she would **personally prepare compensation to cover any potential lawsuit costs.** ADOR slammed her for this, calling it **‘unthinkable behavior’** for someone who was serving as an **internal** **director** at the time\n\nADOR also submitted **chat** **logs** between **Min** **Heejin** **and** **the** **parents** from **March** **2025** , where she allegedly told them:\n\n> _**“Let’s demand things ADOR can’t possibly accept and record the conversation.”**_\n\nShe followed them up by saying, _“We need to get them to reject requests they were never going to agree to anyway.**It’s not that we actually want to negotiate, we just need to build a justification or not going back.** ” _\n\nADOR claims that even after losing their initial injunction case, Min Heejin was telling **the** **parents** **of** **Minji** **and** **Danielle** to use these exact tactics to create circumstances that would justify the girls not returning to ADOR.\n\nThe court also shed light on how deep Min Heejin’s hands were in the legal paperwork. During an injunction hearing on **March 7, 2025** , **Min** **Heejin** allegedly instructed **NewJeans** ’ **legal** **team** to write:\n\n> _**“Please add that the debtor mocked us through their words and actions.”**_\n\nThis specific note was tied to the infamous **‘ignore her’** incident, where NewJeans’ attorney argued a BELIFT Lab manager told other artists to ‘ignore her and walk past’ Hanni, leading to a massive online hate toward **ILLIT**.\n\nHowever, the court actually looked at **CCTV** **footage** and **KakaoTalk** **messages** and concluded that the phrase **‘ignore her’** didn’t even come from **Hanni** , but it was first introduced by **Min Heejin.**\n\nWhen **Hanni** told Min Heejin that she thought she heard **the** **manager** say to **‘just pretend not to know her and walk past,’** Hanni literally added, _**“I don’t remember the exact wording, but it was something like that.”**_ **Min** **Heejin** replied,_**“‘Ignore her’? Is that what they said?”**_ The court noted that Hanni even admitted that one of the ILLIT members avoided eye contact but another actually greeted her, meaning the group did greet her, and the whole narrative was spun by **Min** **Heejin**.\n\nEven after **losing** **the** **injunction** **case** , ADOR claims Min Heejin completely went rogue and **led NewJeans’ into** **independent** **entertainment** **activities**. She allegedly produced their performance at **ComplexCon Hong Kong** , **created new music** , **set up NJZ profile photoshoots** , and **arranged a solo pictorial for Danielle.**\n\nRegarding **ComplexCon** , ADOR noted that **Min** **Heejin** **directed** **the** **choreography** , styling, and merch. They also revealed that **she was set to receive US$500,000 as the event’s producer** , which is significantly more than the**$US350,000 all five NewJeans members were going to make combined**. ADOR explained:\n\n> _“It appears they considered to write this up as a separate consulting service contract, but**abandoned the idea because it could be disadvantageous in future lawsuits,** so they rolled it into the members’ contracts instead.”_\n\nTo top it off, ADOR also submitted evidence that showed **Min** **Heejin** personally editing an email **to** **the** **organizers** asking them to **block ADOR staff from entering the venue.** This happened just **two** **days** **before** **the** **concert** , right after the court had legally ruled that **ADOR’s contract with NewJeans was still 100% valid,** leading ADOR to send staff over to support the girls’ performance.\n\nPreviously, **Min** **Heejin’s** **side** has consistently **denied** all allegations of **‘NewJeans tampering.’** In press conferences and other public statements, they’ve repeatedly maintained that**‘CEO Min Heejin bears zero responsibility for any alleged tampering regarding NewJeans.’**",
