On this day, Source Music stated, “The statement distributed today by CEO Min Hee-jin of Adore contained false claims regarding Source Music, so we have no choice but to tell you the exact facts.” They continued, “First, CEO Min Hee-jin’s claim that Source Music copied her launching strategy is false. Source Music never copied Min Hee-jin’s launching strategy at the time, and we have never acknowledged CBO Min’s complaints.”

Because the launching strategy of New Jeans, which Source Music had given feedback as being difficult to implement, was copied by Source Music and is being discussed again, discussions on R&R and production timelines between each company were bound to be difficult.”

First time I'm hearing that, most of those fan news sties like Koreaboo, Pannchoa etc spread lots of false gossip & many of them spread negative false news about BTS like them being in a cult etc when the MHJ audit shenanigans all started and seem biased to MHJ or whatever she says. I don't trust anyone who can't provide legit receipts & documents, it's just a bunch of he said she said rumors with nothing concrete to back it up. That being said someone posted on twitter with documents but it's the first time I'm seeing it from anyone, I can't read Korean, I've not seen any others post about it yet & the account I find is somewhat questionable as it's a newish account we definitely don't need people spreading more lies or fake information there is so much already so wanted to ask Fairlane if this information is legit?https://x.com/jjinjins/status/1817637760511226273

2024-07-27 22:37:26 +0000 UTCYes that really pissed me off considering her media campaigns during NJ debut using "BTS' little Sisters" etc. The girls weren't even in Ador yet but were Source music trainees. If you go look at reactions to PTD on youtube so many people were pointing out the girls saying "hey by the way their from new jeans..." that was another from of promo for them, there are people who checked them out after learning the members were featured in that MV.

2024-07-25 12:04:28 +0000 UTCI hope Source wins this case cause seriously, everytime I read an article about Hybe and Ador, the witch is just like spewing nonsense thinking everything and everyone is envy at her and she just blame Hybe for everything they do as if its wrong, like the thing I've read in an article a while ago, she mention that BTS didn't inform her by using NJ in PTD, like the ungrateful bitch she is, my initial reaction was Newjeans wasn't born or even debut the time when PTD was released. She just keeps dragging Hybe and BTS for almost everything as if Newjeans is her property.
