Members of girl group NewJeans made a public demand for HYBE to reinstate Min Hee-jin as the CEO of their agency ADOR in a livestream held Wednesday evening on YouTube.
"We hope that HYBE makes the wise choice to reinstate Min Hee-jin as the CEO of ADOR by Sept. 25," member Minji said. "The ADOR that we want is an ADOR where the music production and company management are done by Min Hee-jin as the CEO. We make this request as the way to cohabitate peacefully with HYBE."
The YouTube livestream came two weeks after the current board members of ADOR decided to remove Min as the CEO and instead appoint Kim Ju-young as the new CEO.
Min argued that the decision was made against her choice but did not reveal in detail whether she would take legal measures regarding the decision.
It is also the first official statement regarding the dispute between HYBE and Min that began in April.
