[instiz] MIN HEEJIN AND DANIELLE MENTIONING ILLIT AGAIN TODAY AT THE TRIAL

Furthermore, regarding the ‘ILLIT’s plagiarism controversy,’ they added, “Although it is said that Min Heejin spearheaded it, the NewJeans members inquired first, and Min Heejin dissuaded them,” and “Min Heejin merely promised to ensure that the NewJeans members’ families would not suffer any harm, and the subsequent live broadcasts were conducted voluntarily by the NewJeans members.”

At this point, Danielle’s legal representative broadly addressed issues ranging from the audit of former CEO Min of HYBE to the similarity between the group ILLIT and NewJeans, prompting the judge to ask, “This seems like a general explanation regarding the pre-litigation stage, what do you think?” In response, ADOR’s legal representative replied, “Our claim in this case of illegal acts, such as the violation of (former CEO Min’s) duties as a director against the plaintiff, is an act intended to poach NewJeans,” adding, “Is it correct to simply assert all these facts in this manner?”
