The blame game between HYBE and ADOR is leaving fans and the public exhausted. They took turns speaking out to win the battle to regain public trust. However, currently the audience just hopes they stop the dispute and find a way to resolve it through legal procedures.
It can be seen that initially, Kpop music lovers were curious and interested in this conflict. However, with so many controversies happening over many different issues every day, the public becomes confused and does not know who to listen to.
According to Cultural Studies Professor Lee Gyu Tag, what is causing frustration and fatigue is that this civil war is being reported with a series of rumors. “Most people do not have complete access to accurate information. Worse, a wave of unrelated people who lack knowledge about music also join in to solve the problem. The focus of they are not music but a series of different issues”professor of analysis.

“Both sides cannot stay silent because they have to prove the legality of their actions.”he further explained, “Even if Min Hee Jin is fired, HYBE should still continue working and Min should continue her career. Therefore, HYBE needs to prove to the audience that the decision to fire is justified, while Min must emphasize that she was mistreated by the company.”
At the present time, public opinion is more on the side of ADOR's CEO, as evidenced by the fact that in a survey of 1,030 people, 33.6% said they supported Min and 24.6% supported HYBE. After Min Hee Jin's press conference, it seems that both sides have changed tactics, adopting a more emotional approach to manipulate public opinion, making them forget the true nature of the problem.

With this situation, there is a high possibility that Ms. Min will be fired at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting taking place at the end of this month. However, she also filed a request for HYBE to limit its activities during the meeting. If the request is approved at the hearing on May 17, HYBE will not be able to terminate Min Hee Jin's employment at this time. Although courts usually do not issue such orders, lawyers also believe that the “mother” of NewJeans may be prepared for any eventuality.
“This is the first time Ms. Min has taken legal action through her legal representative. It seems she has prepared convincing arguments and evidence. However, to meet the requirements Preventing HYBE from exercising its powers may not be easy. She needs to prove that there are 'special circumstances' that force her to apply for a restraining order.”analyst.
In fact, even if she is fired, she can still consider using other legal measures to invalidate the shareholders' decision. However, to do this, she still needs to give clear and reasonable reasons. “Once Min is fired, she may consider taking other legal measures to invalidate the shareholder's decision. But again, she must have a clear reason to do so.”
