She references her political voting yet seems unaware of the core issue.
This incident raises critical discussions about workplace freedom and power dynamics.
[TV Daily's Kim Ji-hyun] Former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin has become embroiled in allegations of political bias, asserting that she voted for Presidents Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung while urging Hive not to frame her. This has led many to question whether she truly understands the essence of the issue at hand. The core of the controversy revolves around her alleged coercion of employees' political beliefs, which is more significant than her personal voting choices; the crux lies in infringing upon employees’ freedom.
The political bias controversy around Min Hee-jin demands a profound reflection on corporate culture and power dynamics beyond mere differences in opinion. Her actions, which involved admonishing employees for three hours regarding their political choices, could be perceived as a serious violation of workplace freedom and diversity. Such issues have become a hot topic in the K-POP industry, and they can influence the relationship with fans negatively, particularly concerning the operational culture of management.
Moreover, it’s concerning that Min Hee-jin seems unaware of the hierarchical relationships within Hive. Her imposition of political beliefs on employees is not merely an isolated incident; it reflects the greater responsibilities required of a corporate leader. This case could highlight a lack of empathy towards social beliefs, marking a critical point for the development of the K-POP industry.
Lastly, the issue related to NewJeans member Hani's workplace bullying claims illustrates Min Hee-jin's heightened sensitivity. However, her lack of empathy towards the 'shock' experienced by Hani may lead to further deterioration in fan relationships, underscoring the necessity for genuine introspection regarding future management strategies.
