Min Hee Jin, recently removed from her CEO role, will continue as an internal director at ADOR. In the livestream, the members shared that the staff was unaware of the broadcast, yet the group courageously shared their side of the controversy.

One of the members expressed, "Just like we have our own personal feelings, we have the choice to decide how to react to each situation. We’re not going to follow HYBE’s every order blindly. We understand this is affecting our work."

While fans poured in support for the girls, many voiced concerns about the implications of this defiance against HYBE, given the group's ongoing connection with the label.

• Ayooo Min Hee Jin is smart though for putting NewJeans in front line to fight HYBE.
• Uhhhh... this is the end of NewJeans
• Hey they forgot that because of HYBE they have a successful debut. They should never do this, what does Min Hee Jin even think? This makes more harm.
• This is definitely the end of NewJeans…
• OH WRONG MOVE NEWJEANS
• It felt scripted seriously
• "Hybe should make a decision by the 25th" or what? acting like they hold the power in this situation
• Omg… they should never do this
• Don't they know what's happening? They got brainwashed for real
• Girl what? They think they can just order around a large company like that? Oh nuh uh

pure workplace bullying and mistreatment within the company these girls deserve SO MUCH better#방시혁_2주준다_민희진_복귀시켜라#BangPD_two_weeks_to_normalize_ADOR #NewJeans #뉴진스
