On the 16th, Judge Jung Cheolmin of the Seoul Western District Court announced that Min Heejin's objection to the fine issued by the Ministry of Employment and Labor had been dismissed. As a result, the fine remains valid. However, if Min Heejin files a further objection, a formal trial will be held. Min Heejin's side stated, "The court found that the fine imposition was partially incorrect and reduced the amount. We believe there are still errors in the court's findings. We will address this again in a formal trial."
Last year, an employee who resigned from ADOR reported Min Heejin for workplace harassment to HYBE. The employee later filed a complaint with the Ministry of Labor, claiming that Min Heejin verbally abused her and sided with the harasser. The Ministry of Employment and Labor concluded that Min Heejin committed to workplace harassment and as an employer failed to conduct an objective investigation, leading to the fine notification. The exact amount of the fine was not disclosed.
She technically won part of the case, but there are like... 50 articles saying that she lost. Even Bang Sihyuk didn't get this much coverage. I wonder if this is some kind of a media play.
-If she really did harass an employee, she should be punished.
-But still... She harassed an employee.
-What are you talking about...?
-Min Heejin's cult is still acting like this, huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I don't know who's doing the media play here, but I hope the victim gets proper compensation in civil court...
-I'm surprised people are still voluntarily defending Min Heejin. Is this some kind of a cult or what?
-This case is separate from the Min Heejin vs HYBE conflict. This one clearly has a victim.
-I get that people hate Bang Sihyuk and wish HYBE would flop, but this case shouldn't be tied to that.
-What is Min Heejin to you that you're defending her like this? I'm genuinely curious.
-Whoa... She's still harassing the victim. That's insane.
-She should start by apologizing to the victim.
-She still hasn't apologized???
-What does this even have to do with Bang Sihyuk?
-I hope she experiences what she did to others.
