Min HeeJin to Address HYBE Dispute on YouTube Appearance

Famed K-pop producer Min HeeJin is set to break her silence regarding the ongoing Min HeeJin HYBE dispute in her first public appearance since establishing a new agency. On December 3, 2025, the YouTube channel ‘Jangreuman Yeouido’ announced that Min HeeJin will be featured on their show on December 4, 2025. This appearance marks a significant moment, as she is expected to share her perspective on the protracted legal conflict with HYBE Corporation.

The Ongoing ADOR Legal Battle

The announcement comes shortly after a critical development in the legal proceedings. On November 27, 2025, Min HeeJin attended the third hearing for her put option lawsuit against HYBE at the Seoul Central District Court. Presiding Judge Nam Insoo oversaw the session, which included a grueling 5.5-hour party interrogation of Min HeeJin. This hearing is a pivotal part of the larger ADOR legal battle that has captured the industry’s attention for months, raising questions about corporate governance within major entertainment labels like HYBE.

First Public Statement Since New Venture

Min HeeJin’s upcoming appearance on ‘Jangreuman Yeouido’ is highly anticipated, as it will be her first time speaking publicly since her two memorable press conferences in 2024. While those events were held when she was the CEO of ADOR, this new interview will be from her position as the founder of her own company. The public is eager to hear her side of the Min HeeJin HYBE dispute, unfiltered and direct, following months of court filings and media reports.

A New Chapter with OK Records

While navigating her legal challenges, Min HeeJin has been actively planning her next steps. In October 2025, she officially established her new entertainment agency, OK Records. The company has completed its corporate registration and secured a building in the trendy Sinsa-dong neighborhood of Gangnam-gu, Seoul. This move signals her determination to continue her career as a leading K-pop producer and creative director on her own terms.

Scouting for the Next Generation

Demonstrating a clear focus on the future, OK Records recently began accepting applications for private, in-person auditions. The agency is actively searching for new talent to shape and develop, a process at which Min HeeJin has proven to be exceptionally skilled. This initiative marks the first concrete step by OK Records to build its artist roster and establish its presence in the competitive K-pop landscape.

The Future of NewJeans

The ongoing legal battle has also cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future of the popular girl group NewJeans, composed of members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. As the group was formed under Min HeeJin’s creative direction at ADOR, a subsidiary of HYBE, questions surrounding the NewJeans contract and their future activities remain a central point of concern for fans. All eyes will be on Min HeeJin’s upcoming statement for any potential updates or clarification on the group’s status amidst the corporate turmoil.
