Min Hee Jin is facing fresh scrutiny after Dispatch published new “receipts” accusing the former ADOR CEO of intimidating label staff during NewJeans’ controversial NJZ set at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025. The report claims immigration threats and aggressive on-site filming were used to block ADOR officials from reaching the members.
The alleged intimidation comes on top of ADOR’s multibillion won damages lawsuit against Min, former member Danielle, and a family member, and arrives just days after a July 2 court hearing. For K-pop fans trying to follow the HYBE vs ADOR vs Min saga, ComplexCon has now shifted from a splashy rebrand moment to a potential centerpiece of ADOR’s legal case.
What Dispatch Claims Min Hee Jin Did At ComplexCon
According to Dispatch’s July 4 report, ADOR submitted emails and internal records suggesting Min secretly oversaw NJZ’s ComplexCon appearance even after a Seoul court confirmed ADOR as NewJeans’ agency and restricted independent activities in March 2025. The outlet says Min allegedly coordinated the Hong Kong schedule, stage production, and NJZ branding while excluding ADOR.
Dispatch recounts ADOR’s claim that its new CEO and two lawyers flew to Hong Kong to support the group under the NewJeans name, only to be kept outside the venue. The report highlights an email ADOR says it received from ComplexCon representatives, allegedly warning that the ADOR officials could be reported to Hong Kong immigration if they remained on site, and describes an unidentified man filming an ADOR staffer at close range in a hallway.
Dispatch frames these moments as proof that Min orchestrated efforts to keep ADOR away from the members and to control the optics of the NJZ show and hiatus announcement. None of these allegations have been tested in court yet, and there has been no detailed public response from Min’s side to this specific article, leaving fans to sift through partial evidence and translation-heavy summaries.
How The Allegations Feed ADOR’s Lawsuit
The ComplexCon episode now sits inside a much larger fight over money and control. On October 30, 2025, a Seoul court ruled that NewJeans must honor their exclusive contracts with ADOR until 2029. Two months later, ADOR terminated Danielle’s contract, then filed a damages suit of about 43.1 billion won, later reportedly reduced to around 33.1 billion won, naming Danielle, her mother, and Min as co-defendants.
In court filings and statements, ADOR argues that independent activities like the NJZ ComplexCon performance, photo shoots, and overseas project planning happened while the exclusive contract was still valid and even after an injunction, so they count as serious breaches that hurt the company financially and reputationally. The label also claims Min bears major responsibility for creating the conflict and for delays in NewJeans resuming normal group activities. Judges have not yet ruled on the damages claims, and another hearing is scheduled for July 23.
Fan Reactions And What It Means For NewJeans
Online, the new Dispatch material has split the fandom again. Some K-pop fans view the immigration-threat email and hallway filming as clear harassment of ADOR staff, arguing it matches a pattern of aggressive tactics around NJZ’s independent push. Others, pointing to earlier accusations that Dispatch selectively edited Min’s past KakaoTalk messages, see the latest drop as media play that conveniently amplifies ADOR’s side outside the courtroom.
Behind the noise are real questions about NewJeans’ future. Legally, all members except Danielle remain tied to ADOR through 2029, while the label says it wants to “rebuild trust” and bring the group back amid structural changes. For now, international fans are watching three signals: whether Min issues a detailed rebuttal, what new evidence surfaces at the July 23 hearing, and if ADOR’s schedules or investor updates finally hint at a concrete NewJeans comeback plan.
