Yet, the shocking moments come after the group received all the achievements. During their acceptance speech, members of NewJeans successfully added fuel to the complicated drama between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin.
NewJeans Members Added Fuel to HYBE vs Min Heejin Drama During Acceptance Speech – Was it Really?
As NewJeans came up on stage and delivered their acceptance speech, the members delivered their heartfelt gratitude to their fans. As usual, they also thanked Min Heejin for helping them achieve such achievements. During the speech, NewJeans members referred to Min Heejin as “our CEO.”
“And lastly, to the one who always treasures and protects us, Min Heejin CEO, we really love you and thank you!”

As we all know, HYBE recently removed Min Heejin from the ADOR CEO position. The parent label then replaced her with their former Chief HR officer and KRAFTON’s head of the HR department, Kim Ju Young.
Therefore, referring to Min Heejin as “our CEO” despite knowing this fact only triggers more public reactions. While NewJeans members have been famous for their close and personal attachment to former ADOR CEO Min Heejin, their recent speech has only fueled the ongoing drama with HYBE.
