The report also claimed that Min coordinated with ComplexCon organizers to stop ADOR from interfering with NewJeans’ performance in Hong Kong. ADOR reportedly reached out to ComplexCon, informing them about NewJeans losing the injunction to terminate their contracts with the label and proposed a meeting. The label’s CEO arrived in Hong Kong with two legal representatives, but they were made to wait for hours and eventually turned away.

One user tweeted, “Filming the face of an employee who was simply doing his job, forcing a camera in front of his face against his will, then threatening to report him to immigration authorities, abusing their influence, having him detained for four hours, and ultimately getting him expelled from…”, while another user stated, “damn this was the real bullying and harrassment”. The online community is divided, with some believing that Min Hee Jin’s actions were a legitimate attempt to protect NewJeans’ interests, while others see it as an overreach of power.
