Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-Jin is making headlines after speaking out about her tumultuous legal battle with HYBE, the entertainment giant overseeing NewJeans. And now, it has been confirmed that the residence of Min Hee Jin has been placed under provisional seizure.
A creditor has filed a claim of 100 million won in the attachment against Min's property, though the specific reason for the claim remains undisclosed.
Min Hee Jin to lose her house?
According to a TenAsia report on November 11th, Min received notification in September from the court about the provisional seizure. The Seoul Western District Court accepted the creditor’s application for attachment on September 23.

Back in August, a female employee (referred to as A from here on) who worked at ADOR, filed a civil lawsuit against Min Hee Jin at the Mapo Police Station under the defamation and violation of the Personal Information Protection Act. In addition, A also reported the former ADOR employee and vice president B to the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s Seoul Western Branch.
Now, the court has decided to seize Min's house as securing payment is a priority for civil damage claims. Previously, A revealed she's been sexually harassed by B (ADOR vice president), but Min tried to cover up the incident by looking from B perspective.
HYBE Vs ADOR Case
The conflict began in April when HYBE launched an audit, accusing Min of attempting to separate ADOR from HYBE. In response, Min sought an injunction in May to block HYBE’s voting rights in her dismissal. Initially, Min was allowed to keep her position, as the court found insufficient evidence against her. But in August, ADOR officially replaced Min with Kim Joo-young, HYBE’s former Chief Human Resources Officer.
After losing the injunction, Min remains determined. “I hope that all the atrocities and evil deeds that HYBE has committed so far will be revealed to the world and that this will serve as an opportunity for the rotten organization to reform,” she said.
