Min Hee Jin Faces Backlash After NJZ’s Return to ADOR

UPDATE: Former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin is under fire following the announcement that NewJeans (NJZ) will return to their company after a protracted legal battle. On November 13, 2025, Min Hee Jin expressed her support for the members in a statement, but her remarks have sparked outrage among netizens who accuse her of evading responsibility.

Just yesterday, NJZ confirmed their decision to reunite with ADOR, a move described as heavily deliberated by the group. In her statement, Min Hee Jin said, “I respect and will support that decision. There were difficulties, but I cherish the courage of the members who have decided to hold hands together again to protect each other.” Her comments, however, were met with skepticism, with many interpreting them as a way to distance herself from the circumstances that led to the legal dispute.

Critics are quick to point out Min Hee Jin’s past actions, suggesting that she instigated the legal fight and encouraged NJZ to pursue it. “This is why you can’t accept her anymore,” wrote one user. “She tried to take NJZ with her when she left the company because it’s her best portfolio and career, even though they belonged to the company.” The backlash intensified online, as fans accused her of “using” the group for her gain.

The emotional turmoil surrounding NJZ’s return has resonated deeply with fans, many of whom voiced their concerns about the members’ mental health. As NJZ prepares to move forward, the implications of this situation extend beyond the group’s internal dynamics and into the larger K-pop industry.

What happens next remains crucial. Will the public’s reaction influence NJZ’s activities moving forward? Can Min Hee Jin repair her image amidst such scrutiny? The coming days are likely to reveal more as the situation unfolds.
