When Min Hee-jin, who produced the group New Jeans, was dismissed from the CEO position of Airdore, New Jeans fans protested collectively.
The so-called "New Jin's Music Team," where New Jin's fans gathered, released a statement on SNS on the 3rd, saying, "Verniz (New Jin's fan club) expresses deep contempt and grief over CEO Min's surprise dismissal and the decision to appoint Kim Joo-young as his successor."
They supported Min Hee-jin, who has shared the growth of Newzins so far, and said, "It is difficult to understand in common sense the reason for the replacement of Doror's CEO."
In particular, he criticized, "Hive's current attitude of treating artists as simple physical assets of the company is an attitude that should not be tolerated even more as an entertainment company that must deliver value to fans."
In addition, regarding the deletion of Newzins-related videos produced by the Dolphin Mobilization Group, he protested, saying, "It has resulted in cutting ties with outsourcing companies that were special to Newzins and taking away precious videos sent to fans in a unique way."
Today (4th), a group that called itself "Bernies 1445 who support Newzins" announced, "We have sent an open letter to the current board of directors of Hive and Audor calling for the guarantee of former representative Min's term by registered mail."
They also pointed out that Newzins' achievements were due to synergy with former CEO Min, and that "the decision to appoint Kim Joo-young is an act of breach of trust against Adore and Newzins."
Their open letter said to guarantee former CEO Min's term until November 2026, based on a contract between shareholders.
