ILLIT was dragged into the HYBE-ADOR drama when ADOR revealed the cause of the conflict was ILLIT copying NewJeans’ concept.
More recently, a previous PHONING update of Hyein resurfaced and went viral.
Amid the growing tension between HYBE and its subsidiary ADOR, a post from NewJeans member Hyein, is gaining notice.
The post appears to support Min Heejin, the CEO of ADOR, who stresses that the root cause of everything is ILLIT copying NewJeans. This post has recently resurfaced and is catching everyone’s attention.
On March 25th, Hyein shared multiple photos on PHONING, NewJeans’ fan communication platform. Among these, a photo that stood out featured Hyein lying face down with the phrase “stop copying” written subtly.
The issue arose from the photo’s posting date, coinciding with ILLIT’s debut date. Initially overlooked, the photo has now garnered attention due to CEO Min Hee Jin’s recent claims of similarities between NewJeans and ILLIT’s concept.
Fans have shared different views on the ‘stop copying’ post left by Hyein. Some believe it was intended for ILLIT during their debut, while others argue that it was actually meant for Hyerin, who was wearing similar clothing.
In addition, Min Hee Jin accused RIIZE and TWS for copying NewJeans as well.
