[+159, -11] Hives (Le Sserafim, ILLIT) is the main, and New Genes and their agency are the sub. Hive owns 80% of the shares, so it has the power to oust Min Hee-jin, but it needs a reason. It is clear that someone with Bang Si-hyuk's pride sees it as a problem that the sub is better than the main. There is no one in that company to protect Newjin, and soon he will become like his girlfriend.

[+109, -3] As the head of a multi-label company, why does he play favorites in the first place?

[+47, -4] Habeya, I said I would protect Newjin… but if you usually treat me like this…

[+6, -0] Didn’t you do that to your girlfriend too?

[+4, -0] If Hybe gets what they want and Min Hee-jin is kicked out, New Jeans will go “dormant” as they want and sit back while they push ILLIT. They sound like a cult. They will favor you if you follow their path.
