Imagine the thought of ADOR CEO Min Heejin taking all the girls in NewJeans and returning to SM Entertainment! Is it a new hope for fans? Or is it simply a crazy thought impossible to realize? Rumors began circulating on social media about this possibility, but do you think it’s viable? Let’s discuss this further in the following report.
Escalating Conflict Between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Heejin: More Concerns About NewJeans Future
The escalating dispute between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Heejin has been taking fans and the public into endless frustration. That is especially concerning after knowing that the future of NewJeans members might be in danger.
Previously, HYBE CEO Park Ji Won stated he would send NewJeans on a long vacation, forcing the girls to take a break for 1.5 years. This decision has raised massive concerns among fans and the Kpop music industry in general.
Renowned critics of the music industry even voiced their worries in an official statement. One of these famous critics, Lim Hee Yeun, even declared that Park Ji Won’s decision goes against the whole concept of Kpop.
“In the local entertainment world, Kpop groups must stay in the public eye as frequently as possible. They are taking fewer breaks to the point a “comeback” is no longer meaningful, especially with singles being released almost every month.
Then, when they’re not making music, these groups are busy creating their own content and interacting with fans online.
So, even a 1.5-month break can feel like a long time for a Kpop group.”
Lim Hee Yeun.
Not only that but the idea of changing the group’s producer—whether they won numerous Grammys or not—will simply erase NewJeans’ iconic characteristics and signature sound.
“NewJeans has been collaborating with local indie musicians like 250 and FRNK from Beats And Natives Alike (BANA), as well as international artists like Danish singer-songwriter Erika de Casier and Swedish artist Ylva Dimberg.
This team has crafted a unique music style for NewJeans that their fans absolutely love.
Changing that suddenly by hiring a new music producer who’s more familiar with American music would be a huge mistake.”
Lim Hee Yeun.
Joining SM Entertainment: Is It REALLY Possible?
Due to the rising frustration among Kpop fans and the fear of losing such an iconic Kpop group like NewJeans, strange rumors began circulating on the internet and social media. This rumor began with the idea of ADOR CEO Min Heejin taking all NewJeans members and returning to SM Entertainment.
This issue between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Heejin exploded with people torn between the two sides. However, even all the opposing parties can never deny that ADOR CEO Min Heejin is a genius producer with over 2 decades of experience and numerous successful projects.
And knowing that prior to joining BIGHIT, Min Heejin was a rising producer at SM Entertainment, some fans began wondering whether she would return to her former employer. That is especially knowing that Lee Soo Man, the alleged person she had a conflict with, had left the company.
While this started only as a wild thought in Korean online communities, some fans began responding with negative responses.
According to fans, the idea of Min Heejin returning to SM Entertainment, let alone taking NewJeans with her, was almost impossible. This is not only due to her downfall reputation and the bad blood between them, but Min Heejin also has almost no connections left at SM Entertainment.
- “She won’t join them. Contract-wise, it’s impossible, and besides, SM and Min Heejin don’t need each other anymore.”
- “There’s absolutely no chance.”
- “Why would Min Heejin go back? Lee Sungsoo badmouthed her a lot when she left, haha.”
- “There’s less than zero chance.”
- “There’s no benefit for either of them.”
- “I don’t see any possibility.”
- “Why? SM is already planning to debut a new girl group either late this year or early next year.”
- “This would be bad for both parties.”
- “SM has no reason to take her back.”
