Min Hee-jin is a big deal in the industry, known for her out-of-the-box ideas and game-changing vision. Lately, her halo’s looking a bit tarnished, especially with these accusations flying around.

In a sudden internal audit, HYBE asks Min Hee-jin to pack her bags, citing some serious beef about her allegedly trying to get ADOR’s management rights. Some folks aren’t exactly thrilled with where she’s taking things after her revelations about her actions in the past few months. 

Oof, talk about a PR nightmare. Next thing you know, accusations of plagiarism hit HYBE-backed group ILLIT like a ton of bricks, making the situation even messier.
