The news comes soon after NewJeans’ music video for their newest song, “Bubblegum,” and amidst the feud between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, the CEO of one of their sub-labels, ADOR. The dispute started when HYBE asked Min to step down from her position as CEO and accused her of attempting to take over ADOR’s management rights from HYBE.
