Min Heejin, CEO of ADOR, has maintained silence for six days amid ongoing controversy over allegations of covering up a sexual harassment incident within the company, despite the victim’s revelations.
On August 8, B, a former ADOR employee, disclosed on their personal account that Min Heejin’s statement posted on July 31 included derogatory terms like "bitch" and "mentally ill" to refer to B, who was mentioned as a victim in the context of the harassment and Min Heejin’s attempts to cover it up.
B stated, "Min Heejin, who has shielded the perpetrator, A, and created chaos with insults and verbal abuse against lower-level employees, has used the pretext of revealing her grievances to publicly disclose the former employee's private messages without consent or understanding. It’s unacceptable that Min Heejin continues to spread falsehoods, claiming that the target of her insults was not me and that the messages were edited."
B also claimed, "I heard that Min Heejin even refused to take stern action against A. I recently learned that from the day I reported the issue, Min Heejin actively claimed A’s innocence throughout the investigation and subjected me to extreme insults like ‘crazy bitch’ and ‘insulted life.’ It’s disheartening as a loyal employee to be portrayed as someone who ‘is so bad at work,' 'whines and causes trouble,' and 'left the company before getting fired' just to invalidate my complaint. Min Heejin shared the complaint details with A in real time, proposed and reviewed A’s objections, and was thoroughly aligned with the perpetrator."
B has urged for a sincere apology from Min Heejin and A, but Min Heejin has remained silent for the past six days. Attention is now focused on whether Min Heejin will provide a second official statement before her scheduled appearance at the '2024 Hyundai Card DaVinci Motel' talk event in Itaewon, Seoul on September 27.
-It’s chilling to see someone who pretended to be a victim behaving the same way towards their employees...
-Isn’t this more than just a matter of an apology?
-There are still a lot of comments about Min Heejin and HYBE, but there’s barely any interest in this issue... The selective blindness is really severe.
-It’s hilarious how someone who used to fiercely argue is now staying silent. It’s so funny.
-It’s really funny how people who defended Min Heejin and supported her are now pretending they didn’t see this news. Hilarious.
-I’m not interested in the HYBE and Min Heejin conflict. What I find most unfortunate is that a powerless woman had to leave the company without properly expressing her grievances about the injustice she suffered.
-I’m shocked by people’s reactions. Why is there so little interest in this matter? Isn’t this exactly a case where a company representative is mistreating a powerless female employee?
-Why is it only quiet at times like this?
-It’s funny how quiet it is here.
