What Makes K-Netizens Sympathize With Min Hee Jin After Her Sad News Conference

What makes K-netizens sympathize with Min Hee Jin after her sad news conference

In response to HYBE’s assertions regarding the current ADOR conflict, Min Hee Jin convened an impromptu news conference at the Korea Conference Center on April 25.

In the press conference, Min Hee Jin became upset defending her position. She used obscenities like ‘Shibal’ (a harsh obscenity equal to ‘f***’), ‘Gaejuhssi’ (a pejorative epithet for an older guy), ‘Yangachi’ (a thug), and others despite the official situation.

The ADOR CEO’s passionate news conference divided Korean netizens, with some criticizing her vulgarity and emotional outburst and others applauding her courage to address the matter.

Some netizens expressed pity for Min Hee Jin’s defense of the accusations that she quit Source Music to form a female group.

The user wrote, “HYBE’s first girl group was scheduled to be NewJeans, so the members were collected, but CEO Park Ji Won informed them that Sakura and Chae Won would debut first. Min Hee Jin announced her departure from the company, pushing back NewJeans. The feud begins then.”

Netizen explained, “Min Hee Jin cursed but HYBE executives seized her. This created NewJeans. Members worried they might not debut due to delays. Park Ji Won also said they needed to make people think LE SSERAFIM was Min Hee Jin’s group, so don’t promote NewJeans. You delighted NewJeans made HOT 100?’ Bang Si Hyuk allegedly wrote to her. Your smile—why? Do you like this?’ via Kakaotalk. Because they won’t promote NewJeans, she fought them. Because Park Ji Won and Bang Si Hyuk wouldn’t promote New Jeans, Min Hee Jin went on ‘You Quiz’.”

On moonrixer365, Korean netizens commented:

“If this is true, I can understand why she’s getting so emotional.”

I understand her anger. Everything she held back detonated.”

“I feel so bad for her.”

“So after all that they were using the media to make her look bad and then kick her out of the company.”

“If this is true, I would be so pissed too.”

“Wow, I understand why she’s saying all these things.”

“She must feel so unjust if all this is true.”

“I get it but she still tried to commit a crime.”

So this started everything.
