Nearing the end of last month, a petition under the banner “MIN HEE JIN Leave HYBE Company” surfaced on the global platform Change.org. By June 9th at noon (KST), the petition had gathered the support of almost 49,000 signatories. Surpassing the initial aim of 35,000, it is swiftly approaching the subsequent milestone of 50,000 signatures.
A user going by the name ‘ARMY Forever’ initiated the petition, hinting at potential fandom ties with BTS. The petitioner’s statement reads, “I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter that is affecting the well-being and morale of several members within Hybe group,” followed by, “It has come to light that certain individuals are spreading misinformation and leading a campaign of harassment against some of your groups like BTS, ILLIT, and LE SSERAFIM.”
The petitioner further accuses, “MIN HEE JIN is presumed to be remunerating media/reporters and working alongside Maccoll Consulting, as reported, to propagate falsehoods about HYBE and its groups, with BTS, ILLIT, and LE SSERAFIM bearing the brunt, to coerce HYBE into nullifying her group’s contract through a devaluation strategy. Such actions are beyond unprofessional, they are detrimental, inflicting irreparable damage by fostering a hostile work atmosphere for those involved.”
The petitioner emphasises, “It is imperative for the group’s leadership to address this issue directly to maintain a safe and professional environment. An in-depth investigation into these allegations is necessary, with subsequent actions to halt further harassment and misinformation. We demand accountability for the presumed damages inflicted on the company and its artists by Min Hee Jin.”
With the petition also came a translation into English of the KakaoTalk conversation that CEO Min allegedly shared with ADOR executives and shamanists.
Supporters from around the world who signed the petition left comments in various languages expressing sentiments such as, “It is unacceptable to slander specific idol groups and sway public opinion harmfully,” and “Executives like Min Hee-jin, alleged to be corrupt, should be removed from HYBE.”
