You LOVE to see it. LOVE IT!
Appeal for what even, just more money wasted, be happy you can get away with raising such bullshit case, pay the money and move on, it’s getting old.
Guessing HYBE will appeal, this seems like its gonna be drawn out for a long time
Man awful people always get their money
The injustice of MHJ winning *even though the judge admitted that she planned to take ADOR out from under HYBE* is frying me. My head hurts.
There’s a typo in the article. She is due roughly *$17.7 million USD*, not $1.77 million.
HYBE will also have to pay $1.18 million USD to the former VP and $970k to a former creative director, plus the legal fees for the case.
min hee jin gets away scot free, the new jeans members suffer the consequences. how depressing
I guess there’s a legal difference between discussing something and actually doing it. She can plan all she wants but until she actually does it it’s not a breach.
I am so confused about legal processes in korea. Maybe this is because I’m European or maybe because I don’t have a background in law, but I am so confused????
Either way, the rich get richer and new jeans careers have imploded 🙃
Praying this will mean something to whoever is in charge in Dani’s case
this isn’t really unexpected, despite what many people tried to convince themselves of.
the messages hybe themselves leaked lacked any concrete plan; it was just her fantasizing about possible ways out that were all impossible to enact. that was obviously never going to be taken seriously by a court. on top of that, korean media is reporting that she provided evidence showing she had already disclosed to hybe’s ceo at the time that she was unhappy, that she would be talking to outside investors, and that he consented.
in addition, anyone with a working brain knew she didn’t pull the illit accusation out of her ass. the original thread for “magnetic” on this sub was mostly people pointing out how it sounded exactly like newjeans. that was the overwhelming reaction across social media at the time. and, as the judge ruled, she did the right thing by raising her concerns through internal channels. a lot of people tried to rewrite history by claiming she exposed everything of her own free will at the press conference, but as she herself said at that conference, she had already raised the issue internally and only went public in response to hybe’s selective leaks to dispatch.
all in all, unsurprising—but given how unhinged this whole debate has been on reddit, it’s no wonder so many people are shocked. a lot of people were willing to ignore facts just to believe their preferred version of events.
Glad she it was ruled in her favor. It was a bullshit lawsuit anyway lmao.
HYBE is going to appeal based on this:
While the court acknowledged that Min Hee Jin had explored the possibility of ADOR’s independence, it determined that such actions did not constitute a serious breach of duty.
This is a interesting take from the court and HYBE will use this as starting point to build the appeal.
It’s like saying she was caught too early so that it doesn’t constitute damage. Appellate court will likely disagree.
I thought the Belift defamation case was its own thing?
I’m not a fan of the woman but she’s owed her put options, her taking away NJs has nothing to do with that.
It’s the same way her fight with Ador-HYBE had nothing to do with NJs so that’s why the Judge ruled in favour of Ador for that case. We might not like it but it makes sense they ruled this way🤷🏾♀️
I don’t think it’s a problem with Korean law, it’s the precedence we’ve seen in most parts of the world with similar legal systems.
Don’t care since she lost newjeans
Is this back breaking money for hybe?? No. I assume they will place the money in an escrow account as then appeal just because they can. They knew they were not winning, because no plans were ever put in motion. They will drag this out because they can. Mhj is the one who needs the money, she still hasn’t paid bpd’s loan, she has a new agency, endless litigations. They will frustrate her for the next two years and when they lose, just give her the money.
Reading Korean verdicts is so funny.
It’s always „well the accused did everything they are accused of but they didn’t do it well enough to constitute a substantial loss for the other side so they are innocent!“.
Hybe should just move on. Pretty sure they’ll earn back the money they will pay her easily.
Oh wow
Outside of actual insider trading, this was going to be very difficult to win.
I hate to give MHJ any credit whatsoever, but her track record for walking away from her trainwreck totally unscathed, while everyone else goes up in flames, is truly impressive. And New Jeans fans will thank her for it! You can’t make this stuff up.
Even more kids (and their parents) will be lining up at her agency’s door to get a shot at fame, especially now that there’s a clear financial pipeline. I wish them luck.
Damn so at the end of the day really only Newjeans are suffering the consequences
I need to get in touch with her Shaman to fix my life
This sub is so funny because people always bend over backwards to defend a $10+ billion corporation. Couldn’t be me, but you do you ig
Wow kinda shocked.
so in the end the only one harmed in this whole ordeal was the artist
The only ones I feel sorry for are the New Jeans members. They should have stayed out of it and waited to see how the pennies dropped. Their parents should have protected them. Both MHJ and HYBE were looking after their interests.
The girls lose due to their naivety while the old foxes do fine. A tale as old as time.
Ridiculous when she clearly conspired and we saw actions from her plans come to be 🤦♀️
Gotta admit, reactions on the subs are hilarious.
If result went other way around, this post would already have 1K+ upvotes and people clowning both MHJ and NJ.
I’m sorry for both groups that got dragged into this, artists don’t deserve that. It’s okay to admit that both MHJ and HYBE had their fails, through HYBE still appears to less in the wrong here, when you look at overall situation.
This was expected with how the Korean law works so there’s no surprise. But the way tokkis are reacting makes you think that this is a landmark case which will help NewJeans, which I would hope is the priority for them. Unless the need for online validation via an executive winning a case trumps the love for NewJeans.
I won’t be surprised if she immediately puts these funds into her new company (that she definitely wasn’t working to create months before the NJ verdict even came out) to promote her upcoming boy group. (that she definitely didn’t have plans to create or leave NJ behind for regardless of the NJ verdict)
Also this is like the 300th time that the court has said “oh yeah she totally wanted control of ADOR” despite MHJ effectively saying “nuh uh” about as many times.
This is an expensive lesson for Hybe. At least they have the BTS money to pay her off
She made bank and made out like a bandit while leaving the girls she used for her vision with a destroyed career and thousands in legal fees.
