Hybe official questioned over suspected breach of duty involving creator of NewJeans

SEOUL, May 24 (Yonhap) -- Police have questioned an official from Hybe, the biggest K-pop powerhouse and home to BTS, in connection with a breach of duty accusation the firm raised against the head of subsidiary ADOR.

The Yongsan Police Station in Seoul questioned an unidentified Hybe official as the complainant of the case the previous day, according to police officials.

Claiming Min Hee-jin, CEO of ADOR, had plotted to usurp managerial control of the music label behind sensationally popular girl band NewJeans, Hybe filed a breach-of-duty complaint against Min last April.

Currently, a Seoul court is also deliberating on an injunction filed by Min to halt Hybe from firing her as ADOR CEO during an upcoming shareholders' meeting on May 31. Min is flatly denying the accusation.
