Min Hee-jin, an internal director at Adore, the agency that Newjinx belongs to, has drawn attention by publicly stating that the ‘investment industry rumors’ related to her future are ‘groundless rumors’.

On the 5th, Director Min released an official statement through her personal public relations agency, dismissing the ‘third-party investment rumors’ involving specific company names or real names as “groundless rumors”, and stating, “I am expressing my position in order to block such deceptive acts such as investment recruitment and brokerage at the source, out of concern that “there may be innocent victims.”

Specifically, Director Min said, “I heard rumors from people around me, especially rumors like ‘We decided to receive investment from someone’ and ‘We decided to sign a contract with someone’ that are spreading around the investment industry,” and emphasized, “Some say a specific company name is mentioned, but I want to make it clear that this is completely untrue.”

Amid the dispute with Adore, the agency that Newjins belongs to, over ‘management rights,’ Min Hee-jin was re-elected as an inside director at Adore‘s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting last month. Director Min‘s term of office is until November 1, 2027.
