Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Ador, recently shared a heartfelt moment on social media featuring NewJeans in traditional hanbok attire.
On the 13th, Min posted a photo without any additional comments, drawing attention as this was her first update since her dismissal as CEO on the 27th of last month. Meanwhile, NewJeans also shared photos of themselves in hanbok on their official SNS, wishing fans a happy Chuseok. This synchronized display of hanbok has reignited conversations about Min's departure and her ongoing connection with the group.
In a related move, Ador's board of directors appointed Kim Joo-young as the new CEO after Min's resignation. Recently, NewJeans members conducted an emergency live broadcast, urging Hybe to reinstate Min Hee-jin by the 25th and requesting a return to an integrated management and production style under her leadership. This situation underscores the strong bond between Min and the NewJeans members, reflecting their collective vision for the future.
The developments surrounding Min Hee-jin and NewJeans not only highlight the dynamic within the K-pop industry but also emphasize the cultural significance of traditional attire like hanbok.
