amidst all the mess with bad Encore stages and Company takeovers baby Monster gave an unforgettable performance proving just how talented they actually are on April 25th they performed shees with a live band handheld mics and a lowered backtrack and it was a hit their vocals were amazing the members stage presence was mesmerizing and you could tell that they sang Live which made the whole thing even better even though some people still aren't fans of the song the performance managed to turn their opinions to the point that shees is climbing up the charts this is also a genius Market strategy from YG as they're making the public pay attention to their group during a time when other groups are getting criticized for their vocals baby Monster are going to have another live performance on April 28th so we're already looking forward to that in other news the team working on the TV show pikme trip in Bali is currently stuck in Bali because of illegal filming Spa TV released a report on April 26th saying that yoan from Girls Generation bomie from a pink secret numbers daa and former ioi member IM nayang arrived in Bali on April 21st for the filming and if things were going according to plan they were supposed to leave on April 25th however they couldn't leave because the authorities discovered they didn't have the permission to film the whole team that's working on the show which totals to about 30 people currently don't have their passports as they were confiscated by the authorities they're also staying at a hotel as the local authorities are investigating the case but according to an agency official the cast and crew failed to obtain the proper visas according to SPO TV the soonest they can come back to Korea is early next week because of this cast members who had plans after April 25th had to quickly change their schedules an unnamed agency official said that the situation has been irritating for everyone and another official said that they're working on getting everyone back to Korea as soon as possible according to KBS Joy they have checked the program details but they're still deciding if it will officially air sadly despite everyone hoping that Kepler would keep going on as a group it seems like the chances of that happening are pretty low as you might know the group's contract is set to end in July previously it was said that the agency reps of the group's members got together to talk about extending Kepler's contracts but according to an exclusive report from Star news on April 25th the group will disband in July just as planned the report also said that the group will probably release one last album before disbanding and even have a concert for their fans even though fans were saddened by the news they weren't exactly surprised they have complained about the group and the members getting mistreated for far too long so they were understanding of why they would leave however wake one said that nothing has been decided yet they said that they're still discussing with the members and confirmed that they're currently preparing for the release of a new album according to fans though this all seems like a trick to make them buy the album as it would be bad marketing to say the group will disband before selling the album since nothing has been officially announced for now at least according to wake 1 stay tuned for more updates now let's get to the thing that we all want to talk about the minhan and hbe Feud as we know the two sides have been throwing accusation after accusation at each other including exit plans plagiarism power tripping and even Shaman however from the very beginning this was quite an unfair fight despite the fact that minhan is quite the influential figure in the industry it couldn't even come close to the power that Hive has over various fields in the industry and the media as minhan put it best they're lawyers from Kim and Chang I'm just a normal person from Art School how can I tell my story it's only Hy stories that are getting out this was obvious by the way Hy put out reports about minhen mentioning other groups and claiming that they had copied her including BTS in another interview after the press conference minhan talked about how she felt about them spreading fake rumors about her making her seem greedy and selfish she mentioned that people already have biases against her so when she speaks confidently they call her self-centered she also spoke about how hybe is creating false images of her making her out to be someone with character and personality problems and to her It's upsetting how they kept spreading these false accusations about her one after another she said they want to destroy me it's weird to put it this way but I feel like they want to make the public feel like they cannot trust anything I say as for what was actually said during the press conference there was a lot to go through so we will only mention the key parts of it according to her the plans about ador's alleged independence from hyve weren't serious conversations and were taken out of context so the company could spin the story however they wanted her lawyer who was also present at the conference mentioned that since Ador was doing well financially it would be impossible for them to seize control minhan also found her shareholder contract weird and her lawyer explained that they were fixing unfair terms but couldn't say more due to confidentiality then minhan added that she couldn't disc discuss her troubles but pointed out that there was a contradiction in the contract according to her she couldn't sell 5% of her shares out of the 20% she had and the 2% given to staff to her it felt like her contract was binding her to hibe Forever comparing it to a slave contract the names of L seraphim and Source music also came up quite a lot during the conference minhan claimed that hyve had lied to her and said that her group would be the one to debut first believing their words she started recruiting the members with the idea that they would be debuting in the first girl group from hve which both the members and their parents were drawn to however according to her hybe then turned around and decided to debut laraim first something that angered the members parents she also said that hive's CEO Park giwan told them not to promote new jeans before L seraphim's debut as they wanted people to think that L seraphim was minhan girl group not only that but she questioned if hyve even cares about the girls since she exposed screenshots of bong Shi huk not being happy with the success of ditto to the point of actually mocking it the press conference revealed a lot of stuff including Bang seok's plans to destroy espa but it also managed to get people on her side after the press conference polls popped up on Korean sites asking people to pick between minhen And Hive and minhen is obviously getting more public support as shown by a popular post on the coup with over 500 comments and still counting people are also criticizing hb's media tactics in fact articles written in support of minhan are Vanishing from Korean websites hinting that hide might be behind it but even if they take all the Articles down they can't stop people from showing their support hbe seems to be aware of this too because even though they deemed her accusations unworthy to respond to they still had to do so on April 26th hve addressed the allegations of a slave contract clarifying that even though the non-competition Clause was confidential it was still discussed by minhan at the press conference according to the company the Clause that minhan talked about aims to prevent unfair competition by sellers founding similar businesses and they clarified that Clauses like these are standard across Industries they also said that the claims of indefinite binding are false saying that minhan can sell her shares from November onwards upon selling she won't be subject to the competition ban after her contract expires in November 2026 regarding Min hegan's claims of insufficient compensation hve stated that her pay package consisted of a generous salary and significant bonuses based on performance hve stated that minhan claimed a salary of around $1.46 million which includes a performance incentive specifically for 2023 in addition to the salary long-term incentives and stock compensation this amount places her as the highest paid employee among all H headquarters and subsidiary staff in Korea in their statement hi also responded to allegations about lying regarding minh's group debuting before laraim they clarified that they addressed this issue in detail via email on April 22nd 2024 hbe suggested that Min hegan's denial of receiving the email might be because it contains explanations that contradict her claims the detailed response highlighted that hyve did not break any promises regarding the debut order rather minhan apparently requested full control over creating the group and insisted on debuting them under her separate label despite opposition from Source music Hy respected minhan wishes transferred the members to aore and provided significant financial support this process acknowledged by minhan herself in an interview resulted in delays unrelated to hb's intentions they also expressed that they were worried that if it was known that only rookies were in ad door's debut team there might be leaks about new Jean's member lineup especially since Sakura joined Source music to keep both groups news exciting hi asked minhan to follow this plan last they argued that they didn't neglect new jeans's promotions saying that they had written and spread 273 press releases just for new jeans that's compared to the 659 press releases they spread for BTS and their members and 365 pieces for 17 which is how hybe argued that new jeans were treated the same as the other artists despite these claims the public is very skeptical about hb's claims so far whatever they said wasn't backed up by any actual proof and only by their one-sided statements meanwhile then hijen showed tangible proof during her press conference whatever the result of this fight is going to be hybe will never be the same as their true colors came out during this whole ordeal
