JAKARTA - Min Hee Jin resigned from her position as CEO of the ADOR label that houses the K-pop group NewJeans. This news was announced by the label which announced a new name as the leader.

On August 27, a leadership meeting was held and Kim Joo Young was chosen to be the new CEO. Kim Joo Young is an HR expert who has experience in industry and is tasked with improving ADOR's internal organization," ADOR said on Tuesday, August 27.

Despite resigning from his position, Min Hee Jin remains a producer for NewJeans. It is known that Min Hee Jin is the concept maker of a series of NewJeans promotions to date.

'Min Hee Jin remains an interal director and remains assigned with NewJeans production. Therefore, production and administration of ADOR will be separate,' they continued.

Previously, ADOR was the only HYBE label in which CEOs managed administration and production and did not follow the multi-label strategy (such as labels under other HYBE companies), ADOR explained.

"With this change, we will do our best for the success of ADOR and NewJeans," concluded the agency.

Previously, Min Hee Jin and HYBE were involved in conflict for several months. Min Hee Jin sued the label's shareholders not to manage the label's decision. The court allowed HYBE not to exercise rights in shareholders' meetings in May.

"I think I felt the betrayal first, and HYBE had undermined that trust first," Min Hee Jin told a news conference.

Two other HYBE labels: BELIFT LAB and Source Music also sued Min Hee Jin for compensation for defamation and interference in their business. This was issued after Min Hee Jin accused other labels of imitating how he made the promotional concept for NewJeans.
