Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin is launching full-scale activities.
On the 3rd, a poster began circulating on online communities and social media stating that ooak Records, founded by Min Hee-jin, will hold a closed in-person audition at a well-known dance academy on the 7th.
According to the announcement, eligibility for the audition is those born from 2006 to 2011, regardless of nationality or gender. Accordingly, Min Hee-jin appears likely to select trainees with both girl groups and boy groups in mind.
ooak Records is the agency Min Hee-jin established last October, and it registered business purposes including celebrity management agency services, music production·record production·music and record distribution, performance and event planning·production, and brand management agency services.
This closed audition draws more attention because it is the first move Min Hee-jin has shown since NewJeans announced they would return to ADOR. Min Hee-jin expressed support for NewJeans' return to ADOR, saying "I can start anew anywhere."
In addition, Min Hee-jin will appear on the YouTube channel "Jangreman Yeouido" on the 4th. On the 3rd, the "Jangreman Yeouido" side announced her appearance with a post saying, "Min Hee-jin's life-or-death fight in the 26 billion won trial. What was said in the five-hour-plus cross-examination of Min Hee-jin?"
Min Hee-jin will appear on "Jangreman Yeouido" to speak about the ongoing trial with HYBE and is expected to also express her positions on various legal responses.
After being dismissed from ADOR in August last year and stepping down from her inside director post in November of the same year, attention is focused on Min Hee-jin's future moves.
