Six days after the dismissal of Min Hee-jin as CEO of their label, ADOR, members of the K-pop girl group NewJeans broke their silence on the issue, expressing concerns and emotional distress. "Since the CEO was dismissed, it's been difficult in many ways and we have a lot of concerns. For a while, I was in a state of mental breakdown and very anxious," member Danielle was quoted as saying on "Phoning," a dedicated mobile app for the group's fans, on Monday by industry sources. Min was removed from her CEO role by the company's board of directors last Tuesday following a monthslong conflict with the label's parent company Hybe over management control of the sublabel. While ADOR said Min would remain on the board and continue producing for NewJeans, she has refused to sign a work contract to stay on as producer for including "toxic clauses."
