Ask what Korea is talking about.

Min Hee-jin's side has responded to foreign media reports that NewJeans' exclusive contract contained unfair clauses, saying HYBE had the final say over the contracts. HYBE, in turn, stated that Min Hee-jin, as former Ador CEO, was the contracting party at the time. Min Hee-jin mocked HYBE's explanation with a scathing statement, saying "HYBE claims there is nothing wrong," while HYBE fired back at The New York Times' exposé, saying it had "no choice but to explain the facts." Korean outlets report the dispute as part of an ongoing war of words between the two sides.
