HYBE to Appeal Non-Indictment of Former CEO Min Hee-jin in Breach of Trust Case



Hive expressed his position on former CEO Min Hee-jin's refusal to be sent over allegations of breach of trust.

Hive said on the 15th that `We will immediately file an objection with the prosecution today against Hive's failure to send the case of breach of duty filed last year against former CEO Min Hee-jin.''After the police investigation, new situations such as the announcement of termination of the contract by the members of the Newzins occurred, and a number of new evidence was submitted in related trials, and based on this, the court judged Min's actions very seriously. The Court of Appeals for the Disposition (Seoul High Court) explained to former representative Min that it is in a position to intentionally destroy the integrated structure that was the premise of the exclusive contract.

They then decided not to send charges against former CEO Min Hee-jin and others for obstruction of business and violation of the orthodox network law (defamation) against five Hive executives in July last year""We would like to inform you that we are also receiving a non-compliance conclusion regarding all of the cases in which former CEO Min indiscriminately filed a complaint against the executives and employees of Hive and its affiliates."," he said.




▶Next is the full entry of Hive.

I'm informing you from Hive.

The company will immediately file an objection with the prosecution today against Hive's former CEO Min Hee-jin, who was not sent to the office last year.




After the police investigation, new situations such as the announcement of termination of the contract by the members of the Newzins occurred, and a number of new evidence was submitted in related trials, and based on this, the court judged former representative Min's actions very seriously. As the Court of Appeals for Disposition (Seoul High Court) has decided against former representative Min that he is intentionally destroying the integrated structure that was the premise of the exclusive contract, we would like to argue about the decision to reject the appeal process.

In addition, the investigation authorities decided not to send charges against former CEO Min Hee-jin and others for obstruction of business and violation of the orthodox network law (defamation) against five Hive executives in July last year. The investigation authorities judged that Hive's allegations were not recognized for the purpose of slander because they were about the public interest, and that the KakaoTalk conversation was acquired by legitimate authority during the audit process.

In addition, I would like to inform you that we are receiving a non-transmission conclusion for all cases that former CEO Min has indiscriminately filed and filed complaints against Hive and its employees.




▲ Former CEO Min Hee-jin accused Bilibrap management and creative directors of defamation and innocence ▲ Team Bernese accused Bilibrap management and others of violating the law (defamation), ▲ All of the cases that Shin Woo-seok, CEO of Dolphin Mobilization Corp., sued the current management of Airdo for violating the law (defamation) were rejected or dismissed without charges.

Thank you.
