The board of directors of label ADOR, which manages K-pop girl group NewJeans, has ousted Min Hee-jin from her position as chief executive officer (CEO).
She was replaced by Ju Young Kim, a human resources management expert at HYBE, and a member of ADOR board of directors.

In an announcement, ADOR stated, “On August 27 KST, we convened a board meeting during which Ju Young Kim, an in-house director of the label, was appointed as the new CEO of ADOR.”
“Kim, a human resources expert with extensive experience across various industries, will concentrate on stabilizing and rebuilding the organization,” the label said.
It added, “Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin will step down from her role but will remain as an in-house director, continuing her responsibility for producing NewJeans.”
“Additionally, the label will restructure to separate its production from management—a multi-label practice that has been standard across all other HYBE labels but was previously not implemented at ADOR,” it said.
According to ADOR, “With these personnel and organizational changes, we aim to provide strong support for the continued growth and success of NewJeans.”
Min Hee-jin has been in a legal dispute with Korean entertainment company HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, since April.
