Min Hee-jin, CEO of ADOR, shared her thoughts on the court ruling.

At a press conference held on the 31st at the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, Min said, "This time, I feel light-hearted as I am able to greet you after winning the case," and added, "I am grateful not only to acquaintances and those around me who supported me but also to all the strangers who cheered me on."

With a trembling voice, she said, "I want to express how much strength I gained from each and every one of you," and continued, "Thanks to them, I think I avoided making strange choices. The Bernies (NewJeans fan club) also sent many DMs (direct messages), which helped me overcome this."

Min said, "There are still many mountains to climb. There are many complicated matters that ordinary people find difficult to understand," and added, "I’m not sure if I should say this here, but I am also thankful to the judges."

Earlier, the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court granted a provisional injunction in the case filed by Min against HYBE to prohibit the exercise of voting rights, stating, "HYBE has not sufficiently proven the reasons for dismissal or resignation it claimed."

Following this, HYBE stated in an official statement, "Respecting the court’s decision, we will not exercise voting rights in favor of the 'dismissal of inside director Min Hee-jin' at this extraordinary general meeting," and at the ADOR extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held that morning, Min was retained as CEO.
