ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin is facing scrutiny for allegedly suggesting that "Chairman Bang Si Hyuk copied my ideas to create BTS" and claiming that "ILLIT copied NewJeans. So did TWS and RIIZE; they also copied NewJeans."

Amid the ongoing conflict between ADOR and HYBE, which includes accusations of Min Hee Jin's attempted takeover, HYBE has initiated an audit of ADOR.

In light of Min Hee Jin's comments regarding other K-pop groups allegedly imitating her concepts, Korean netizens have uncovered the movie that Min Hee Jin purportedly referenced for NewJeans' debut track "Attention," sparking discussions across various online platforms.

A netizen revealed that Min Hee Jin drew heavy inspiration from the 1981 German film 'Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (We Children from Zoo Station)' while producing NewJeans' "Attention," highlighting numerous scenes resembling those from the movie.

This revelation has garnered significant attention online, with Korean netizens pointing out that Min Hee Jin's ideas for NewJeans were not entirely original, and raising questions about the content of the referenced film.

They commented:
"The content of the movie is shocking. Using it as a reference for the debut song of underage idols raises concerns. If this wasn't an issue before, it makes us wonder if it was only possible under the protection of HYBE."
"Isn't an homage supposed to pay respect? Is this what's called homage? It's disappointing to see her accuse others of imitation while drawing inspiration from such sources."
"I knew Min Hee Jin's tastes were unconventional, but I didn't expect this from NewJeans. It's unsettling."
"It's ironic how she accuses others of imitation when her own work isn't entirely original."
"Many of Min Hee Jin's inspirations seem to come from old Tumblr."
"The similarities between the scenes are striking."
"She copied the movie as well."
"Even the lyrics of 'Cookie' seem questionable…"
"The question of whether Min Hee Jin's directing has a problematic undertone has been raised since her SM days. Controversies with similar themes have persisted throughout her career."
"The movie's content is shocking."
"Using such a shocking movie as a reference is surprising."

BTS member Jin is finally back, and fans can’t stop talking about his new music video.

On May 16, Jin dropped his second mini album Echo, and the title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” is already making waves — especially because of the emotional scenes with actress Shin Se Kyung.

The MV is shot like a drama, showing powerful yet soft acting between Jin and Shin Se Kyung. Their natural eye contact, emotional scenes, and quiet chemistry have left fans saying, “Are they a real couple?” and “Please cast them in a real drama next time!”

But while their chemistry looked perfect on screen, Jin revealed that he was actually super nervous behind the scenes.

In a recent interview, Jin shared, “It was my first time acting with a professional actress, so I was really awkward and clumsy. I was so nervous that things didn’t go as I imagined.”

Still, he praised Shin Se Kyung for helping him through the scenes. “I was very thankful to Shin Se Kyung for her passionate acting. If you look closely, you might catch me looking awkward,” he said, laughing.

Jin also shared a funny moment during filming: “There was one scene in a parking lot, and the wind was blowing like crazy. My hair kept flying everywhere, and I couldn’t act properly. We ended up changing my hairstyle to finish filming.”

His new album Echo tells honest stories about love, friendship, choices, and emotions we feel in everyday life. Fans are touched by how personal and heartfelt Jin’s songs and acting are in this comeback.
