In a significant legal development, Min Hee Jin—former CEO of ADOR—now faces potential property seizure as part of a civil lawsuit filed by a former ADOR employee. The legal dispute began after Employee A, a former ADOR staff member, accused Min of defamation and violation of privacy laws. Following a provisional court order, Min received notice in September regarding the temporary seizure of her residence in Yeonnam-dong, Seoul, amounting to approximately 100 million KRW (around 71,500 USD).
The lawsuit against Min Hee Jin intensifies as Employee A escalates claims, including reports of unfair labor practices by Min and ADOR’s Deputy CEO, identified as “B.” According to Tenasia’s exclusive report, this property seizure acts as a security measure tied to the civil suit, where the plaintiff seeks 100 million KRW in damages. In civil cases, property seizure is a preventative step, helping creditors secure assets from potential liquidation by the debtor, thus ensuring future compensation if the court rules in favor of the plaintiff.
Legal experts highlighted that temporary property seizures are typically granted when a creditor demonstrates potential risk of asset disposal by the debtor, which could hinder the enforcement of court-ordered compensation. They noted that Min’s recent statements about possible asset liquidation may have influenced the court’s decision.
In October, Min Hee Jin openly discussed her financial constraints amid ongoing legal battles with HYBE, revealing that her legal fees have reached 2.3 billion KRW (approximately 1.6 million USD), adding that she might need to sell her property to cover these expenses. She stated, “Due to the lawsuit expenses, I’ll likely have to sell my house.”
Min’s public acknowledgment of her financial struggles could have supported the plaintiff’s case, reinforcing the need for asset seizure as a safeguard for potential future compensation. The case continues to develop, with both sides preparing for further court proceedings.
