Ahead of an emotional press conference held by Min Hee-Jin to address a major K-Pop dispute, HYBE announced Thursday that they are going to report the CEO of their subsidiary label ADOR to the police.

This move follows HYBE's recent audit into ADOR's operations and Min's subsequent refusal to step down from her position.

HYBE to Report ADOR CEO to Police

HYBE's statement says that they have substantial evidence to support their claims against Min Hee-Jin, Billboard reported.

The evidence indicates that Min was actively involved in a plan to take control of ADOR's management. 

This includes orchestrating efforts to pressure HYBE into selling ADOR's shares and attempting to contact external investors to seize management control. 

HYBE also alleges that Min's actions were a breach of trust and violated company protocols.
