'Sunjae-ya' Byun Wooseok Has Also Lost His Name

 

Actor Byun Wooseok has also lost his name.

Byun Wooseok is currently playing the role of Ryu Sunjae, the vocalist of the idol band Eclipse, in the recent tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Lovely Runner". He impresses with his warm appearance, switching between a high school student at 18 and a 34-year-old celebrity, capturing hearts perfectly.

Especially noteworthy is how Byun Wooseok, despite having no prior experience as an idol trainee, flawlessly portrays the role of an idol, earning praise from both drama fans and existing idol fans alike.

This led to excessive immersion in the drama for Byun Wooseok. His appearance at the opening ceremony red carpet of the 25th Jeonju International Film Festival on the 1st also attracted significant attention. Especially, fans who visited the red carpet scene didn't call Byun Wooseok by his real name but instead referred to him as "Sunjae," drawing attention.

There have been numerous actors who have lost their names due to the popularity of their works and characters in the past. With Byun Wooseok also being called 'Sunjae' instead of 'Byun Wooseok,' he joins the lineup of 'actors who have lost their names.'

-But he's Sunjae after all ㅠㅠ

-The name 'Sunjae' fits him like a glove. And the fact that Sunjae's last name is Ryu... It just suits him so well.

Min Heejin, 'Stop Distorting the Truth... I Didn't Request for Rights to Terminate Contracts, but for Independent Operation'

by Reporter Han Sooncheon

Regarding the content stating that Min Heejin, the CEO of ADOR, demanded the exclusive termination rights for New Jeans, it was explained as "a request for independent label operation."

On the 2nd, Min Heejin's representatives clarified, stating, "On January 25th, CEO Min demanded that important contracts, including the selection of external contractors and exclusive agreements, be made under the authority of the CEO in a face-to-face meeting with HYBE CEO Park Jiwon." They further elaborated, "This was to resolve unreasonable interference encountered during New Jeans' debut process and was a request for independent label operation."

According to Min Heejin's side, the revised shareholder agreement was sent to HYBE on February 16th. They argued that the KakaoTalk messages claiming a takeover attempt were from April 4th, which they asserted was both untimely and irrelevant. Min Heejin's side accused HYBE of distorting the truth and manipulating public opinion, stating that if HYBE continues to disclose negotiation details, they propose resuming negotiations.

theqoo

-Min Heejin, fighting ㅠㅠ

-I believe in you

-Seriously, HYBE's PR is really dirty

-Why is HYBE trying so hard to get the public on his side? It's already over

-Wasn't the initial statement from HYBE about Min Heejin secretly trying to leave? If it was openly demanded during negotiations, it would be a completely different situation. The more the content is exposed, Min Heejin seems to be a person with nothing to hide, and HYBE seems to have a hidden agenda...

-I'm cheering for you

-HYBE, go bankrupt

-It's not like it was done secretly; it was demanded during negotiations. I understand that, but wanting to do whatever you want as the label representative holding 18% of the exclusive contract seems too much no matter how you look at it.

-I've been watching closely all along... Now it seems like HYBE perspective has been distorted.

-Just fight it out in court, damn it, instead of manipulating public opinion.

-They didn't demand termination, right? If they had demanded termination, it would be different from independence. Just paying the penalty and leaving seems like the best option.

-Who would believe HYBE's words now?

-Pay the penalty and go independent.

-The conclusion will come from the court anyway. Since it seems like part of someplans, neither HYBE nor Min Heejin will be seen in a positive light now.

-HYBE's PR tactics are nauseating. At first, when they brought in Min Heejin, they promised independence and autonomy between labels, but now they're not keeping that promise at all and rejecting requests for that, so what kind of "takeover of full authority" is this?

-By now, supporting HYBE is a matter of intelligence. Those who sides with HYBE simply lack the literacy skills.

ADOR's Side: 'Requested New Jeans to Terminate Their Contract, Aimed at Operating an Independent Label'

 

ADOR's side denied the report that Min Heejin demanded the authority as the CEO to unilaterally terminate New Jeans' exclusive contract without having to go through ADOR's board of directors this year. 

Previously, it was reported that Min Heejin delivered a revised shareholder agreement containing such a demand to HYBE on February 16. In response, Min Heejin and ADOR's side revealed HYBE's claim of Min Heejin abusing her power and the release of the release of chat logs in April 4 are unrelated to this matter. 

ADOR further stated, "This once again reveals that HYBE is distorting the truth and manipulating public opinion. If HYBE intends to continue disclosing the contents of shareholder agreement negotiations, we propose reopening shareholder agreement negotiations."

theqoo

-Cinderella wins. Min Heejin and New Jeans, fighting!

-HYBE just shows its own mess through their media play.

-HYBE, as expected, so lame.

-HYBE is disgusting for distorting the entire timeline for media play.

-One side keeps saying the same thing, and the other just says whatever they think will disadvantage the other in the public opinion, so there's no consistency.

-HYBE is really disgusting.

-Disgusting. 🤢🤮

-Cinderella wins!! HYBE's media play is seriously disgusting.

-HYBE's PR is seriously disgusting.

-HYBE is so disgusting... They media play too much, so their words change dozens of times a day. In the end, Cinderella wins. Min Heejin, fighting.

-Cinderella always wins.

-"This once again reveals that HYBE is distorting the truth and manipulating public opinion. If HYBE intends to continue disclosing the contents of shareholder agreement negotiations, we propose reopening shareholder agreement negotiations." ㅋㅋㅋㅋ HYBE, stop with the media play and come back to the negotiation table

-Why are you always acting like a loser, HYBE?

-HYBE's media play is damn pathetic. Come back to the negotiation table.

-What does independent operation and termination rights have to do with each other??

"Min Hee-jin Demanded 'Exclusive Termination Right of New Jeans' Contract' Earlier this Year"

by Reporter Kwon Namyoung

 It has been revealed that ADOR demanded the authority to unilaterally terminate New Jeans' exclusive contract without having to go through ADOR's board of directors earlier this year. 

According to sources on the 2nd, the legal firm that represents Min Heejin sent a revised shareholder agreement to HYBE in February this year. This occurred after both sides engaged in negotiations regarding changing ownership shares at the end of last year.

HYBE judged this proposal was unreasonable and rejected it. 

From the perspective of entertainment companies, their exclusive contract rights of their artists are considered important assets for company operations. That's why it's customary for major entertainment companies to require board approval for exclusive contracts.

For example, BTS and BLACKPINK have publicly announced the completion of board resolutions for the renewal of exclusive contracts or for the signing of group exclusive contracts.

If Min Heejins's demands were accepted, it would mean that New Jeans could terminate exclusive contracts solely at the will of Min Heejin, without going through the board of directors of either ADOR or HYBE. 

Currently, the ADOR board of directors consists of three members, with Min Heejin and her close associates, Vice President Shin and Director Kim holding decision-making power. In other words, Min Heejin controls the board.

However, with the current structure, if such a move were detected, HYBE, which owns 80% of ADOR shares, could hold a shareholders' meeting to replace the ADOR board of directors and prevent the departure of affiliated artists. However, if Min Heejin were to have the right to terminate exclusive contracts, HYBE would lose its means to prevent the departure of affiliated artists (New Jeans).

HYBE suspects that such demands from Min Heejin are related to the conversation transcript stating "ADOR becomes an empty shell" that was disclosed in the interim audit results on April 25th.

According to the interim audit findings, Mr. A, an associate of Min Heejin, proposed options such as "Exercies put options on January 2, 2025 (Exit) → ADOR becomes an empty shell → seek financial investors → HYBE will be advised to sell ADOR → sell at a reasonable price → Min Heejin acquires ADOR shares with the money obtained from being ADOR CEO + CashOut", among others.

However, Min Heejin's side claims that these proposals are at the level of "private discussions." She stated at a press conference on April 25th, "I have no interest in taking away management rights or anything like that. I really don't understand (about taking away management rights)." 

theqoo

-If this is true, Min Hee-jin seems to be in some danger too.

-She said she never planned to take over the management rights. With so much manipulation, how can we trust her?

-If that's the case, why not just go to court and fight instead of constantly leaking to the media? Don't they have confidence in winning?

-So, this is what she demanded after all the negotiations failed... And if she just asked HYBE directly for the right to terminate, it's not like she secretly planned to leave, right? She just openly asked for the right to terminate, but since her contract negotiations failed, she'll probably be stuck there.

-It's better not to be swayed by public opinion and just observe this matter...

-No matter how you look at it, it's not betrayal

-HYBE seems desperate

-I can't trust Hive at all, this all sounds like media play!!

-It seems like they're doing media play again.

-If they've already decided to dismiss her, they should at least protect the artists, but instead, HYBE keeps mistreating New Jeans

-It's becoming more certain that there's no evidence of betrayal.

-Go, Min Heejin!

-They're cleverly trying to twist her words again.

-Min Hee-jin was really in the right all this time...

-Stop the media play already, it's been two weeks, how many articles are they going to publish?

-Just let it go, HYBE. It's a bit embarrassing, don't you think?

-So where's the evidence of betrayal?

-Stop the media play, HYBE, it's disgusting.

-HYBE is so childishㅋㅋㅋ They asked for it in February. Why are they blowing it up now just before New Jeans comeback and calling it betrayalㅋㅋㅋ?

-Min Heejin didn't do it behind the scenes, she just asked straightforwardly, and they all rejected itㅋㅋㅋ
