On the 10th, Belift Lab, a label under HYBE, posted a video on their newly created YouTube channel, 'BELIFT Lab Announcement,' titled 'Belift Lab's Position on Plagiarism Claims.' The following day, on the 11th, HYBE's stock closed at 198,000 KRW, down 2.22% from the previous trading day.
On the same day, BELIFT Lab also issued an official statement on their social media accounts announcing legal action against Min Heejin, CEO of ADOR, and malicious commenters who raised plagiarism allegations between ILLIT and NewJeans.
Additionally, many believe the stock decline was influenced by the perception that BELIFT Lab's actions were a negative response to Min Heejin's peace offering to HYBE at a press conference after avoiding her dismissal as ADOR CEO through a temporary injunction.
