Source Music, part of the entertainment company HYBE, has pushed back against claims made by Min Hee Jin, CEO of ADOR. On July 23, Source Music released a statement on their official SNS, saying, "Min Hee Jin’s statement today includes false claims about Source Music. We need to set the record straight."

They added, "CEO Min’s claim that we copied her launch strategy is not true. We never copied any strategy from Min Hee Jin, who was the CBO at the time. We also never received any complaints about this."

Source Music clarified, "In May 2020, Chairman Bang Si Hyuk suggested that Min Hee Jin, then CBO, should develop her launch strategy with a 'new team' for her own label, not N Team. Even though CEO Min knows about these discussions, she is misrepresenting them to suggest that Chairman Bang intended for her strategy to be used with N Team."

Dispatch had reported that CEO Min was involved in the branding for N Team's debut, which included NewJeans members as Source Music trainees. However, Min reportedly extended her influence to focus on NewJeans' debut, causing delays in N Team’s debut schedule.

In response, CEO Min’s team argued, "The article is based on speculation and false facts. We will take strong legal action." They also claimed, "The idea that N Team’s debut was delayed due to CEO Min’s actions is completely false," and provided emails and a timeline to support their position.

As Source Music counters CEO Min’s claims, the dispute between the two parties continues. Source Music stated, "CEO Min is spreading false information about us. In addition to the damage compensation lawsuit we previously filed, we will take further legal action. We are ready to share any materials needed to reveal the truth."

On July 15, Source Music revealed that they had filed a lawsuit seeking several billion won in damages against CEO Min. Although the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, it is known that Source Music is seeking around 500 million won for defamation, business interference, and damages caused by CEO Min.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
