However, she faced criticism for failing to address questions and lacking communication.
She is set to conduct a global audition for a boy group in the near future.
Former Adore CEO and current OK Records head Min Hee-jin held a press conference proposing to forfeit 25.6 billion won, sparking dissatisfaction in the audience. During the press event on the afternoon of the 25th at the Kyowon Challenge Hall in Jongno, Seoul, she suggested halting the ongoing litigation against HYBE in light of her recent victory concerning a put option. She communicated critical points through a prepared statement, reflecting on a 'long tunnel' of struggles. The decision to forfeit the 25.6 billion won was tied to her concerns for New Jeans members, emphasizing a desire to stop the pain for both artists and fans. However, she failed to address concrete conditions or the legal efficacy of her proposal. Min promptly left the venue without engaging with the press. Criticism arose regarding the hastily organized schedule and her arriving six minutes late. Moving forward, she is set to conduct a global audition for a boy group.
Min Hee-jin's press conference could have signaled an end to her legal battles, yet it ultimately fell short on meaningful communication. The lack of delivering core content heightened the existing frustrations surrounding the situation. Without addressing the pressing questions raised during the event, it becomes challenging to earn public trust. While her intention to heal the wounds between artists and fans was evident, the absence of necessary information exchange casts a shadow on her proposals, complicating the unresolved issues even further.
