K-Pop Clash as HYBE Probes Alleged Breakaway Attempt by NewJeans Label ADOR


K-pop's most powerful corporation HYBE is probing an alleged breakaway attempt by ADOR, the subsidiary label behind NewJeans.

HYBE Corp., the biggest corporation in the South Korean pop music scene, has begun an audit into ADOR, the label responsible for K-pop act NewJeans. They also report that HYBE suspects Min and her deputy to have circulated confidential information to outsiders in a possible bid to attract investors who would allow ADOR to gain its independence from the parent company. The unidentified ADOR deputy has also been in anonymous contact with Korean news media and said that the trouble stems from an internal document laying down his personal experiences and grievances.
