Unless you haven’t been on social media for the last couple of days, you’ve probably at least heard of the ongoing feud between HYBE Labels and ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. So much has happened in the last few days that it’s impossible to summarize shortly, but you can get an in-depth look at the issues surrounding the feud on our “HYBE vs. ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin” timeline.

During all the chaos as of late with HYBE Labels, however, one of their subsidiaries has drawn attention due to how unbothered and normal it seems compared to others: Pledis Entertainment, home to SEVENTEEN, fromis_9, and TWS.

You might think that the major issues and uncertainty regarding the future of ADOR, NewJeans, and other parties involved might leak into other parts of the company as well, but Pledis Entertainment seems to be going about business as usual, and it has led to fans making memes about the matter!

On April 25, Pledis shared the below article discussing the latest episode of SEVENTEEN’s variety show GOING SEVENTEEN. The article is titled “SEVENTEEN, becoming high school students.. GOING SEVENTEEN can’t help but be funny”.

It seems like SEVENTEEN’s comeback should go on as planned, which should be a relief to Carats.
