On March 23, 2026, Min Hee Jin publicly responded to Dispatch’s recent report accusing her of orchestrating NewJeans’ contract termination and destabilizing ADOR.
Through her Instagram Story posted that day, Min Hee Jin strongly refuted the allegations and criticized the outlet’s reporting. She wrote, “Is this DAVOLINK season 2? LOL. No one will fall for that kind of fiction anymore. The ability to exaggerate and make something out of nothing reminds me of a place I know.”
She continued, “Instead of focusing on the civil case of ordinary people, please investigate the person under criminal investigation more diligently.” Although she did not directly mention a name, online speculation pointed toward HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk.
Min Hee Jin further claimed that negative media campaigns intensified following her recent legal victory. “It seems they have been working to make things reverse-viral marketing since my lawsuit win last week. It’s such a cliché tactic,” she stated.
Addressing Dispatch directly, she emphasized her right to respond: “Dispatch, please remember that I have the right to refute your claims when reporting. Please stop spreading false information and observe your journalistic ethics.”
She concluded with a firm warning of legal consequences:
“Dispatch will be held civilly and criminally liable to the fullest extent of the law for the false reporting on DAVOLINK and today’s report. I’ll hold the same media outlets responsible for copying Dispatch articles and generating page views. I’m sick of it.”
As of March 23, 2026, Dispatch has not released an official follow-up statement regarding Min Hee Jin’s response. The escalating dispute continues to draw intense attention amid the broader legal conflict surrounding NewJeans, ADOR, and HYBE.
