ADOR’s Min Hee Jin Allegedly Accused Bang Si Hyuk Of Copying Her When Creating BTS

ADOR‘s CEO Min Hee Jin is currently in a “feud” with HYBE after reports of a power struggle.

Amid the news, Min Hee Jin has gained attention after claiming that fifth-generation groups ILLIT, BOYNEXTDOOR, and RIIZE “plagiarized” NewJeans.

Yet, it seems like another group has been implicated in Min Hee Jin’s accusations, and it’s BTS.

In a report from Yonhap, they explained that a source spoke to them and it was alleged that while doing the auditing, Min Hee Jin spoke about the HYBE chairman to an external person, adding that he has only come this far from copying her. In particular, the article alludes to the fact that since she joined HYBE, Min Hee Jin made it clear in private remarks that she thought BTS “copied” her.

In another document discovered during the audit process the day before, it was reported that CEO Min made a statement in an external conversation regarding Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, saying ‘In fact, he’s copied from me and come this far.’ In the industry, it is known that CEO Min frequently made remarks in private about BTS copying her after joining HYBE.

The quote from “YNA” alluding to Min Hee Jin’s comments

When the OG article was shared among international fans, ARMYs couldn’t hide their shock at the statement. Although Min Hee Jin has been in K-Pop for a long time and was previously at SM Entertainment, they couldn’t believe allegations that she was now claiming that BTS was copied from her.

There’s no way it’s real that she said Bang copied her to make BTS. There’s no way anyone can be that delusional and void of historical and cultural fact.

While it was only reports of alluding to BTS plagiarizing her, Min Hee Jin has openly spoken about groups plagiarizing NewJeans, and many netizens aren’t impressed that she’s dragging young groups into her “drama.”
