ADOR's former employee aka Miss.B expressed her elation about the re-investigation following the dismissal of Min Hee-jin from the CEO's position
Initially, Miss. B aka ADOR's former employee, filed an RW, also known as corporate ethics standard to HYBE where she allegedly accused Mr. A of s*xual harassment and bullying. Subsequently, she resigned from HYBE's sub-label, and HR investigated the matter and suggested Min Hee-jin issue a strict warning to the former Vice President A involved in the incident.
Unfortunately, Min Hee-jin did not issue any warning for former Vice President A, and subsequently, Miss.B accused the former ADOR CEO of being biased during the s*xual harrasment incident. Miss.B raised the issue that Min Hee-jin has allegedly tried to cover up the incident within the sub-label.
In response, Min Hee-jin shared a lengthy post through her official Instagram handle and denied covering up the s*xual incident.
In retaliation, Miss. B claimed that the s*xual harassment and the subsequent cover-up of the incident were true. Min Hee-jin later released an additional statement where she refuted Miss B's report of s*xual harassment within the company and cited workplace bullying as a false report.
During the phone interview with the outlet, former ADOR employee, aka Miss. B claimed that she suffered secondary damage due to Min Hee-jin's statement and mentioned, as translated by Google:
"If former Representative Min's claim that my RW report was a fabricated report and his biased intervention in the investigation process was the primary damage, then his statement has caused secondary damage. Because of her statement, I could not do my job, so I quit, and I became a person who made a false and retaliatory report. It's too bad that I was not suitable for the job evaluation because I was so poor at my job."
She further revealed that she got a suitable evaluation from four out of five elevators, and only Min Hee-jin gave her a failing grade for whom she worked for a month. Miss.B cited that Min Hee-jin defamed her character and spread false information. The alleged victim also added that the former ADOR CEO disclosed personal conversations and annual salary without her consent.
Miss. B further cited the release she filed a civil and criminal complaint against Min Hee-jin and former Vice President A and mentioned, as translated by Google:
"Rumors spread quickly in this narrow industry. Once this incident came to light, the fact that I was the party involved became known to those around me. I also found out about former CEO Min's statement because people around me said, Isn't this your story?' I even got contacted by advertisers from overseas agencies. After CEO Min's statement was released, there were a ton of malicious comments. Things like 'Don't spread the word,' and 'You can't even do your job,' claiming that I was suffering serious damage."
The former ADOR employee further revealed that former Vice President CEO A sent her a Kakao Talk message where he allegedly threatened her that he was going to withdraw his apology and sue if she did not take down her statement from the social media.
Miss. B stated that the text message was scary, and she felt that even the executives did not dare to apologize. Subsequently, she decided to sue Min Hee-jin and the former Vice President. Mr.A, as there was no other solution to recover her damages.
Miss. B further revealed what she wanted from former CEO Min Hee-jin and former Vice President Mr.A through the legal lawsuit. She stated that she hoped that Mr.A would showcase a reflective attitude by reporting to the Ministry of Labor, and if any harm was found through a proper investigation, she would like to receive an apology.
She also expressed her desire to see Min Hee-jin getting punished for her wrongdoings through a criminal lawsuit.
The former ADOR employee showcased her faith in the Judiciary's judgment, police, and the Ministry of Labor, which might differ from her claims. She also stated that both sides would accept the outcome of the investigation. Miss. B further stated that the investigation would be conducted appropriately as the last investigation was allegedly biased and unfair.
ADOR's former employee, aka Miss.B, expressed her elation about the re-investigation following the dismissal of Min Hee-jin from the CEO's position. She stated that she received a call from HYBE about the conduction of reinvestigation through an external agency.
She observed that the investigation process gained speed as the former CEO was dismissed, and Kim Joo-young was appointed as the new CEO of ADOR. She mentioned:
"I am so happy that they are saying they will conduct a reinvestigation through an external agency. At the time, we found out too late that former CEO Min had intervened in a biased manner, and we were helpless until this reinvestigation took place. I hope that a fair reinvestigation will be conducted. I hope that this case will prevent victims of bullying within the industry from having their reports covered up in the future."
Miss. B further concluded the telephonic interview by stating that if Min Hee-jin had accepted her mistake and looked at the incident with an objective mindset then both sides could have minimized the damage and concluded things on a positive note.
However, the current situation and secondary damage were caused by Min Hee-jin's wrong judgment and perception as a leader.
In response, Min Hee-jin's said nothing about Miss. B's claims and hoped that the facts would be disclosed through the appropriate investigation and judiciary.
