Min Hee-Jin, former CEO of ADOR, has officially resigned following a seven-month dispute with parent company Hybe. The announcement marks the end of her tenure that began in 2019 when she joined Hybe as a brand officer before becoming ADOR's CEO in 2021.

The conflict began when Hybe launched an internal audit, accusing Min and her team of attempting to take control of ADOR. Min denied these allegations, claiming they were retaliation for her whistleblowing activities. The situation escalated into multiple lawsuits, leading to Min's dismissal as CEO in August after the Seoul Central District Court rejected her reinstatement injunction.

In her resignation letter, Min vowed to pursue legal action against Hybe for alleged violations of the shareholders' agreement. She expressed gratitude to NewJeans fans (Bunnies) and supporters while promising to continue her career in the K-pop industry.

Key points from Min's statement:

• She fought for seven months to reclaim ADOR
• Plans to take legal action against Hybe's "illegal activities"
• Warns against malicious defamation attempts
• Criticizes certain individuals for damaging the "essence of the business"

As of now, Hybe has not issued a response to Min's resignation announcement.
