This megathread is about the ongoing dispute within HYBE and the management of sub-label ADOR. Substantial news developments may be posted to the subreddit (outside of the Megathreads). Moderators will only approve posts that focus on statements by relevant parties, official representatives, or legal authorities. Unofficial commentary, fandom activities, speculation, or blind items will not be acceptable. Articles or translations should ideally be presented as neutrally as possible. Titles or content that are obviously sensationalized or intended to persuade readers to one perspective will be removed. English-speaking news outlets that have relatively more neutral reporting include Soompi, Yonhap News, and Korea JoongAng Daily. THIS POST MAY BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED AT VARYING TIMES based on what the moderators are able to manage during their shifts. Please be patient with us while we work to balance keeping up with the queue and our own lives. DISCLAIMER ABOUT SOURCES: We prefer to focus on official statements from companies or other vetted sources. There will be widespread speculation and rumor-heavy articles, but until presented in an official capacity we consider them unsubstantiated. As Mods, all we can do is compile and summarize, but we are not investigators or journalists.

Articles / Timeline 250422 This day marks one year since HYBE launched their audit of Min Hee Jin and ADOR's management. Happy(?) 1st anniversary of the Megathreads! 250502 The 3rd hearing for Min Hee Jin vs. Belift Lab was set to take place but postponed to July 18th at Belift Lab's request. Each side is due to present their arguments/documents regarding plagiarism issues at the next meeting. (Source: Maeil Kyungjae) 250530 We learned that ADOR had filed for 'indirect enforcement' after their injunction was granted and NewJeans performed at ComplexCon back in March (Filed on April 4th according to the statement from NewJeans' representatives linked below). On the 30th, the 52nd Division of the Seoul Central District court further granted this request. The 'indirect enforcement' ruling means that each individual member of NewJeans will be fined 1 billion won (approx. $725,000) if they continue with entertainment activities independent of ADOR, which would be in violation of the injunction. This enforcement with potential fines does NOT apply to any of NewJeans' independent activities between the granting of the injunction and the granting of this 'indirect enforcement'. These fines will only apply to future activities going forward, or at least until rulings with NewJeans' appeal or the main contract validity case changes anything (next hearing on June 5th). (Source: Chosun Biz, MK Sports) The Korea Herald: Court orders NewJeans to pay Ador 1 billion won for each unauthorized activity Discussion Post Korea JoongAng Daily: Court orders NewJeans members to pay ADOR $725,600 for every independent entertainment activity A statement by NewJeans' representatives was made later in the day primarily acknowledging the indirect enforcement ruling, but reiterating that it is temporary and will no longer have an effect if NewJeans win their appeal of the injunction. (Source: Ilgan Sports) The 2nd hearing for Source Music's damages lawsuit against Min Hee Jin took place at the 12th Civil Affairs Division of the Seoul Western District Court. (Quick recap: 1st was January 10th, 2nd was previously scheduled for March 14th, postponed per Source Music's request). Legal representatives were present. Source Music had a 20-minute presentation prepared, but Min Hee Jin's representatives objected to the inclusion of KakaoTalk messages in the presentation. They claimed the messages were illegally obtained and requested the hearing to be closed/private. Source Music denied the messages were obtained illegally, claiming they were gained from company devices with consent. The court went with a temporary compromise to keep the hearing public, but not allow discussion/display of the messages until they were reviewed again. A special hearing to review the messages will take place June 27th. (Source: Sports Today) 250605 The Seoul Central District Court Division 41 held the second hearing for ADOR seeking confirmation of validity for their exclusive contract with NewJeans. Only legal representatives were in attendance. NewJeans' side primarily argued that ADOR had not met their obligations and that their evidence they were preparing to support NewJeans' activities, like finding a new producer, was inadequate. ADOR's side argued that NewJeans' reasons for allegedly terminating their contract continually changed, indicating they are arbitrary and being made up with retroactive hindsight. The issue of some evidence being collected illegally also came up again from NewJeans' side. Judge Jung Hoe-Il specifically inquired if both/either sides were willing to come to an agreement, encouraging them to do so. NewJeans' representatives strongly indicated this was unlikely as the trust in ADOR had completely collapsed. ADOR's representatives indicated they could see negotiating an agreement once the court comes to a final decision. The 3rd hearing was set for July 24th. (Sources: X Sport News, Maeil Kyungjae) 250612 The next hearing regarding the Shareholder Agreement termination and exercising put/call options lawsuits between HYBE and Min Hee Jin was held at the Seoul Central District Court's 31st Division. Arguments from each side mostly re-tread what we've already covered. HYBE's side argued they were justified in ending the shareholder agreement due to the threat Min Hee Jin posed to the company. Min Hee Hin's side argued the timing of the audit/termination did not align purely with that concern and that some KakaoTalk messages and emails were obtained illegally and not admissable as evidence. HYBE also indicated they had a witness to give testimony at the next meeting, which the court accepted. The next hearing with closing arguments, was set for September 11th for both lawsuits. (Sources: Maeil Kyungjae, TV Daily, Sports Today) 250617 Following up from April 16th when NewJeans appealed the court's decision to uphold the injunction and halt on their independent activities, the Seoul High Court reaffirmed the earlier decision. The court rejected NewJeans' appeal. They determined there was no significant change in the material/arguments presented for the appeal and the original decision to grant ADOR's injunction was justified. There was further clarification that the management conflict between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, and her no longer being NewJeans' producer, did not constitute a valid argument for the alleged collapse of trust between ADOR and NewJeans. The group's withdrawal from ADOR is considered arbitrary, that their artistic freedom or activity is not impeded since they are able to do so within their exclusive contract, and that any damages resulting from attempting independent activities are self-inflicted.

Ew trump. I do not support any misogynistic, white nationalist, incel, hitler-like (esp. Musk), racists at all and neither does this sub and apparently neither does reddit as a site as a whole. He stands against everything Kpop stands for which is an art form from a formerly colonized people from a country that is rising up against colonialism and hatred. Anyone who comments anything negative to this, or tries to defend that orange guy will be banned permanently. Go somewhere else, we don't want your lower kind here.

I saw a similar post asking about leaders so I thought it would be fun to make a post about the maknaes! How does your favorite group treat their maknae? Are they afraid of them? Do they tease them, or do is it the maknae doing the teasing? Do they treat someone else like the maknae more than the maknae themselves? submitted by /u/Reasonable_Ninja5708 [link] [comments]

THIS IS SO WEIRD TO SAY but everyone on social media always talked so bad about IVE, saying they sing bad, they are just bussines partners and that it’s a bad group. I kinda got with that thought. It grew on me. I saw IVE live these days and I loved them, fell in love, want to Stan but that nagging feeling that everyone talks bad and I used to agree with those people gets me submitted by /u/Mysterious-Usual-397 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone — has anyone had rhinoplasty at @estegroupistanbul / EsteMed Istanbul? I’m planning surgery next month and they’re asking for a deposit soon. I’d really appreciate honest feedback about: surgeon name, where the operation took place (hospital name + address), outcome, aftercare, and whether they honored follow-ups/repairs. Please DM or reply here — screenshots of receipts, surgeon ID or hospital confirmations are especially helpful. Thank you! submitted by /u/Majestic-Variety8803 [link] [comments]

Every once in a while you see people crying about social media fanwars and drama on different Reddit subs. I‘m sorry but most of y‘all don‘t actually care about what‘s going on down there, you just want to use social media drama to start fanwars with different fandoms and to incite hate towards the groups. If you would actually care about the music and the members then social media drama wouldn‘t be an issue to you. But since y‘all only care about drama, numbers and fanwars, that‘s where we are now…. No one forces you to be on K-Pop social media, you‘re doing that to yourself. There are perfectly fine group subreddits that you could use to get your content. You can very easily ignore all that BS but you don‘t want to because how else would you start fanwars on Reddit then…. submitted by /u/Future_Sounds_ [link] [comments]
Sometimes, it will be brought up that certain members get hate and fans get upset at OP for talking about it. Fans of the group get upset at people for defending members of that group. Fans even label OP or any defender as akgaes. Sorry it’s absurd to be a fan and get upset at anyone for defending members of your fave group. And it’s more absurd these fans are upset at other fans who defend their group but not at the antis making hate comments towards the members submitted by /u/taejinkook28 [link] [comments]
First off, let me clear, I absolutely adore Cortis (as you can see, most of my posts are about them and are quite positive 😭) and don’t blame them for this one bit. But, the use of that brand in the MV for Lullaby was so disappointing. What’s more annoying is that BigHit should’ve know better than to use it considering the criticism BTS’s V received for it too. It just goes to show the blind eye these large companies have towards such critical social issues. It’s always and always going to be just about money for them. I hope fans don’t switch their morals. Constructive criticism is NOT hate and SHOULD be provided by fans. I also hope the five don’t get hated on for this. Considering the fact that they helped direct the video, they maybe the ones who thought of using the brand. Even so, isn’t it the company’s responsibility to teach them and prevent such incidents? They are only kids after all. submitted by /u/Busy-Schedule-1407 [link] [comments]
I am uploading a Seventeen BSS mashup soon but I'm not sure what title I should use for it. Normally I just quote the name and put the songs from the instrumental in brackets behind it - but I think people don't recognize that it's actually a mashup or a remix. Should I put something like "Seventeen BSS x (mashup song or artist)" in the title? I'm not good with naming things for others so they can understand... submitted by /u/vdrawer [link] [comments]

╭────────────────╮ Hey everyone, it’s that time of the quarter when I will look back on it and find out what took over. The 3rd quarter was pretty good as I got to go on my second vacation, taking a break from work. I also had the opportunity to hear some excellent music that helped brighten up the quarter. I can’t believe we have three more months left in 2025, and the year will be over. Now, let’s jump into the quarter and see what took over. ╰────────────────╯ https://preview.redd.it/t2ldsk843yrf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb35746f90942a1f668c9ce55012da0609d60e8a Honorable Mentions Songs: 도망 - Hanroro Fire (My Sweet Misery) - Xdinary Heroes When Love Passed - Seventeen Be Alright - IVE Dancing Alone/Strawberry Cheesegame - KiiiKiiiI’, 시작의 아이 ❍ - Park Da Hye & Maktub Topping - ILLIT BAKA (feat. Chanmina) - pH-1 Goodbye, My Summer - Hanaroro ━━━━━━━━━★ Song: La Vie En Bleu - Joy Joy takes over the quarter with my favorite Korean song, which makes me feel like I'm in Paris. The guitar crafts this smooth melody that fits perfectly with the singer's voice. The snapping we got in the tune added. The hook has been stuck in my head since the first time I heard it, and I still can’t get it out of my head. I’m glad Joy got to return with more solo music cause she has some excellent tunes. I’m still surprised that Joy spoke French in a few moments of the track. https://preview.redd.it/5l3f5n5h3yrf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81bdad17796ab2e6fb1f066689304d6b7df352c6 ━━━━━━━━━★ Honorable Mentions Albums: PERCENT - ONEW The 1st full album [BLISS] - D.O. MOLLAK - Jvcki Wai & Vangdale The 1st Album 'A Montage of ( )' - VIVIZ GTA 7 : side b - GIST & Trade L Enemy - Twice In Bloom - Yuju Plot Twist - AtHeart Evelution - Lun8 WHAT HAVE WE DONE - pH-1 JAMONG SALGU CLUB - Hanaroro From JOY, with Love - The 1st Mini Album - Joy ━━━━━━━━━★ Album: IVE Secret - IVE IVE takes over with an album that kept pulling me back for more. I didn’t expect the group to deliver another record this year that kept popping up on my playlist. XOXZ is the title track with a thumping bass that kept pulling me back for more. The title track is a stronger opener than the album as it does a great job moving the record forward. Dear My Feelings is a funky-pop tune that has been stuck in my head, and the vocals on that song are smooth to the bone. Midnight Kiss closes out the album perfectly with a strong track that is still on my playlist rotation. IVE continues to impress me this year with the music they have been putting out. https://preview.redd.it/ckkhdmiv3yrf1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4884f5c37075b8834d6f454f93f43bf650067b9 ━━━━━━━━━★ Non-Korean Release Honorable Mentions: Back in the Saddle - Luke Combs Oh My Pumpkin - AKB48 Ambivalence - NELKELife Quest - TAKANE NO NADESHIKO Teenage Blue - Hi-Fi Unicorn Disco Nap - Shania Yan Peace, Love & Cowboy - Lainey Wilson ━━━━━━━━━★ Album: FORTISSIMØ - PaleNeØ PaleNeø is a Japanese female metal band that I discovered this quarter. I checked out all the music the band has put out and fell in love with it. The new album FORTISSIMØ has been one album I’ve been loving as the band has some killer guitar solos that blend wonderfully with the excellent vocals. Tracks 8-11 are this four-part song that hits with each part that I’ve been having on repeat like crazy. It’s hard to pick a favorite song on the album, as each tune delivers something to the table that keeps everything moving. The album does a fantastic job moving from one song to another, making the project feel complete. I’m glad I discovered this band and can’t wait to hear more new music from this talented band. https://preview.redd.it/iz0lnkv64yrf1.jpg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=780cbef46c74a97b62dc6e6cb10f38162293860c submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]
