HYBE sajaegi issue did not end
Representative of Ador Min Hee-jin refuted HYBE’s claim of “push out” of New Jeans’ “Get Up.” (New Jeans Sajaegi issue)
“We would like to inform you of the exact facts about HYBE’s statement distributed today,” Ador said on the 17th, “Considering that the subsidiary is forced to make a conditional return or inflate the initial sales volume by using fan events of distributors, the case of New Jeans’ 2nd EP ‘Get Up’ does not constitute a pushback.”
“The Japanese retailer UMJ has bought 150,000 copies through demand forecasting and consultation, and it cannot be seen as pushing them out because there are no return conditions attached to them,” Ador explained.
They also refuted HYBE’s claim, saying, “The additional fan signing event held on August 20th was held after the initial period, and it was a fan signing event that had nothing to do with the initial volume.”
Earlier in the day, HYBE disputed the mention of HYBE’s album pushback (HYBE sajaegi issue) in Min Hee Jin’s whistleblowing document, which was released during a hearing on the prohibition of voting rights earlier in the day, and argued that New Jeans’ “Get Up” also constituted an album pushback with the same logic, sparking controversy.

In addition, the additional fan signing event on August 20th was held after the initial period, and it is a fan signing event that has nothing to do with the initial volume.
