It has been reported that former ADOR CEO Min Heejin fainted in shock after realizing she had been taken advantage of. 

On January 28, Min Heejin's legal representative attorney Kim Sunwoong from the law firm Jiam held a press conference in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Investigative journalism 'The Gate' also attended the press conference and released an audio recording involving Mr. Lee, the uncle of a NewJeans' member.

The head of 'The Gate' criticized the situation, saying, "We live in an era where incidents like this are brushed off as a no big deal, allowing troublemakers to move around freely. While reporting on Min Heejin, I asked why she remained silent for over a year. Her answer was always the same: because she was afraid the members would get hurt. Even though she suffered from a neurasthenia and even came close to death, she stayed silent to protect the members and their families."

He continued, "We shared the recording file of the member's uncle with the lawyer.. We heard that Min Heejin fainted after hearing him say it was 'no big deal.' She fainted because the families she wanted to protect were laughing and dismissing the situation as 'no big deal.' We plan to continue tracking these market-disrupting forces in the capital market that are messing the K-pop industry."

According to the recording shared that day, Mr. Lee, the uncle of a NewJeans' member, responded to a question about why he stayed silent if Min Heejin didn't actually engage in tampering the group. He replied, "It was no big deal, so I just let it go."

Meanwhile, Min Heejin's side claimed, "The truth behind NewJeans 'tampering' allegations has nothing to do with former ADOR CEO Min Heejin. It was a large-scale scam played on the public by a family member of one NewJeans' member and a specific businessman. They allegedly did this to boost stock prices or manipulate the market."
