The entrepreneur, who has been in the news for her feud with K-Pop giant HYBE (ADOR is a subsidiary of HYBE), has now hit headlines as details of her Kakaotalk chat have been exposed by South Korean news agency Dispatch.
As is evident from the messages, Min Hee Jin was seen making some inflammatory remarks about the members of her group New Jeans. She took a potshot at the weight and appearance of the members — Hanni, Danielle, Mini, Haerin, and Hyein.
Korean entertainment portal Koreaboo translated the messages which read, “I suddenly remembered why I got a reality check while working in this field. It’s terrible taking care of immature kids who are crazy about wanting to become famous celebrities. They need my direction and want to be popular. They really are doing the most. I do get the job done well. It could be that I am drunk off my own success that I am able to do all this. I feel like I’m doing good for someone else. Wasting time trying to make a living for these immature kids. What do they know? I get a reality check when I see them looking in the mirror and only thinking about dancing. I mean, can you actually call that working?”
