The ongoing feud between HYBE and ADOR’s CEO Min Hee Jin regarding management matters seems to be keeping the heat on.
In a recent development, ADOR has made claims that a HYBE official visited a female employee’s residence late at night to conduct an unauthorized audit, allegedly with the intention of targeting Min Hee Jin.
ADOR, an affiliate label embroiled in a dispute with HYBE, has accused HYBE of conducting an unauthorized audit ahead of today’s (10th) board meeting.
On May 10, ADOR revealed that its employees were subjected to an illegal audit by HYBE’s audit team until early morning on May 10, just before the board of directors meeting.
According to ADOR, HYBE’s audit team began an audit of ADOR’s style directing team leader at 7 PM on May 9, outside of work hours. It continued for over 5 hours, until after midnight on May 10.
ADOR added, “In the end, the audit went beyond the scope of the company’s duties, including going to the home of the employee who was working within the company and demanding not only a laptop but also a personal cell phone that did not belong to the company.”
Besides that, it was claimed the auditor allegedly abused his power, using threats of police involvement, to intimidate and force compliance.
The label revealed how the officials intimidated the female employee, stating, “According to a member, the HYBE audit team raised questions about the contractual relationship between ADOR and the head of the style directing team, and put psychological pressure on the company by saying, ‘We are planning to file a complaint as the circumstances of embezzlement are clear.’”
ADOR stated that they are taking the issue seriously because it reveals HYBE’s intention to unfairly target ADOR and CEO Min Hee Jin, similar to a previous coercive audit on a vice president. To prevent media manipulation, ADOR has chosen to transparently disclose the facts first.
In other news, HYBE alleges it has gathered enough evidence to prove the attempted takeover by CEO Min Hee Jin. ADOR is preparing to hold a board meeting today.
