Hybe to file complaint against sublabel executives over internal conflict
SEOUL, April 25 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's largest K-pop company, Hybe, said Thursday it will file a complaint against executives of its sublabel ADOR, including CEO Min Hee-jin, on charges of breach of trust and other offenses.
The move comes amid a widening conflict between the two sides over an alleged attempt by Min and others to take over control of the company. Min has denied the allegations and countered by accusing Hybe of copying NewJeans' main concept and choreography for a rookie girl group.
Hybe said it has secured evidence supporting its claim that the management plotted to seize control under Min's initiative since it began conducting an audit of the label Monday.
The audit targets were found to have discussed "terminating contracts with NewJeans," Hybe said.
