Belift Lab has made an official announcement on June 10th stating, “Upon observation of CEO Min Hee-jin’s second press conference on May 31st, we came to the conclusion that further patience is unjustifiable. Consequently, we have opted to disclose our definitive viewpoint on CEO Min via written statement and video presentation.”
In a clear message, Belift Lab asserts, “The Seoul Central District Court’s Civil Division 50’s May 30th verdict pertained exclusively to the injunction preventing HYBE from casting votes at the ADOR Extraordinary General Meeting. The judgment was not in regard to the plagiarism dispute. Interpreting the decision as CEO Min’s victory in the plagiarism case is incorrect and inappropriate.”
Belift Lab has announced further legal action by stating, “Distinct from the aforementioned injunction, we have instituted a criminal litigation against CEO Min for business interference and defamation. Notwithstanding the monumental debut achievements embedded in K-pop lore, our artists, Belift Lab members, and associated creators have been unfairly trammeled and muted. Today, we are taking additional civil legal measures to ensure CEO Min accounts for the injurious consequences.”
Belift Lab voiced their dissatisfaction by saying, “Though CEO Min seemed to propose an olive branch during her second press conference, an apology or remorse for the deep-seated harm caused by malicious remarks to those undeserved victims was noticeably absent. The responsibility was deflected onto third parties, including media entities.”
