Recently, the hot topic in the K-pop scene has almost always revolved around the "power war" between ADOR and HYBE.
It is reported that HYBE received a report on the 22nd of this month that Min Hee-jin and others of AODR tried to seize the management rights of ADOR, and therefore conducted an audit of ADOR.
In response, Min Hee-jin, who is the CEO of ADOR, issued an official statement in response to the above accusations and conveyed the claim that "the conflict between the two sides stems from the idea that HYBE's new girl group, ILLIT, copied the concept of Newjeans."
"Some people think that it is to be expected that there are similarities between HYBE's brands and Newjeans, and even many people think that ADOR and Newjeans will allow or ignore such similarities," ADOR said. However, these perceptions are misconceptions, and our purpose is to clarify. The multi-label system is designed to allow each company to create music independently, promoting diversity, rather than pushing one company to copy the cultural achievements of another. ”
In addition, the ADOR side also stated that "ADOR has officially taken action against the incident of plagiarism of Newjeans by HYBE and Belift Lab." It is a pity that HYBE and Belift Lab did not admit their mistakes and used various excuses to procrastinate", "This may lead to more and more misunderstandings among fans and the public over time." Therefore, after an in-depth discussion with Newjeans members, as well as legal representatives, ADOR issued its official position. ”
With ADOR's response, South Korean netizens are worried that the statement will hurt the Newjeans group.
Comments from some K netizens:
- I think the Newjeans need to speak up for themselves;
- These girls are so young, what do they know?
- Why did ADOR involve Newjeans?
- Meaning, they're going to take Newjeans as an independent company?
- I'm angry that ADOR actually involved Newjeans as well;
- ADOR is using the Newjeans as a shield;
- Min Hee-jin is really good at these things;
- Oh my God, this statement is sure to backfire;
- They really shouldn't have girls in the group;
- I think ADOR just wants to make a fool of HYBE;
- To be honest, although it's not very good for Newjeans, Min Hee-jin's approach is understandable, and it's HYBE who is wrong, isn't it?
- ILLIT did plagiarize Newjeans, which is what is truly visible;
- So, now turn the war between Hybe and ADOR into a PK between ILLIT and Newjeans?
- Anyway, only Newjeans are the ones who are hurt the most;
- To be honest, when I saw ILLIT, my first reaction was that Newjeans made another debut;
……
What do you think?
On the other hand, the entertainment industry has not learned that Newjeans is currently preparing for its return in May.
