The judge noted that the questions from both sides lacked relevance to the lawsuit.
Min expressed her emotions candidly in the courtroom.
Former CEO of Ador, Min Hee-jin, has shown a strong stance in the legal battle against HYBE. During a court hearing regarding a dispute over 26 billion KRW in put option rights, Min was questioned about a Messenger conversation with a shaman where she allegedly said, 'I want it badly.' Min countered that this conversation was private and unrelated to the shareholder agreement, stating it was merely an expression of her emotions regarding the company's office. She also denied any accusations of 'attacking' during the questioning process. The judge eventually intervened, noting the relevance of the questions was lacking.
Min Hee-jin's courtroom response has caught public attention, especially following the disclosure of communication with a shaman. This situation transcends personal beliefs and delves into specific social contexts, raising questions about the position of shamanistic practices in modern society. The controversy surrounding her could either positively or negatively impact her public image.
Additionally, her emotional expressions in court reflect how personal conflicts are navigated within professional frameworks. She is asserting her legal rights while maintaining her dignity and sharing her emotions candidly, which can further enhance her status as a pop culture icon.
Finally, this case highlights the intricate relationship between the Korean entertainment industry and legal issues. Min Hee-jin's situation is not limited to personal ramifications but could extend its impact across the industry. The effects of such legal battles on the entertainment sector will need to be closely monitored in the future.
