Album pushing is similar to hoarding, where a distributor purchases released albums in large quantities to increase first week sales, and the agency compensates for this through fan signing events and events.
[+210, -21] Hybe offered to push New Jeans' second EP 'Get Up' by another 100,000 copies to beat aespa's first week sales, but Ador declined, saying it went against their business philosophy.
[+132, -10] In the end, New Jeans ranked second in sales in the first week of 2023 and first in overall sales.
[+123, -9] Wow, what kind of plagiarism is this from Le Seraphim? Did they pay the money back?
[+110, -8] Hive is really ruining the music industry, so please let’s do business more ethically than this ㅠㅠㅠ
[+87, -28] Min Hee-jin and his group are literally waging an unfathomable fight against a large corporation… ㅜㅜ
[+22, -3] So does that mean every group in Hybe is involved in this, except New Jeans?
[+16, -7] Min Hee-jin, complete victory!
[+13, -3] From pushing an album to Hybe to trying to cancel New Jeans' luxury ambassador deal to favoring promotion of Le Sserafim, there's a lot going on.
[+9, -1] I doubt what Hybe is doing is just to push the album lol. Go and research Hybe's new idols and how they work on Melon. We all know that hoarding is involved.
[+7, -2] Does Bang have anything against aespa? Why does that person keep checking…
[+6, -3] If Ador had accepted the offer to push the album, Hybe would still have used that as an excuse to fire her.

[+343] Hive has already crossed the river of no return…
[+380] The words coming out of that person's mouth are not what to say right now.
[+500] That damn narcissism is crazy…
[+208] Look how he says he follows the rules while copying everything…
[+617] It's so childish…it's really shocking;;
[+220] He's accusing her of ruining K-Pop. Does this include copying her ideas for her own group?
[+709] None of this is something that should be said boldly.
[+216] Min Hee-jin's 'evil' hahaha Both her groups, Le Seraphim and Illit, have skeletons in their closets, and they are trying to turn Min Hee-jin into a devil.
[+561] His accusing Min Hee-jin of being evil and ruining the K-Pop system are close to self-introduction… His own evil ruined Le Seraphim, and now even Illit is branded as a fake group. He lives exactly like his face. stop eating. Your brain is so rotten from dopamine that you can't even tell what's going on anymore.
[+272] A truly evil person always projects and blames his evil on others.

[+440] The best thing Bang Si-hyuk can say is “evil.” LOL So, did he make a replica zine by taking advantage of that goodness?
[+374] You are the only one here who is ruining the whole system lol album pushing and plagiarism.
[+193] Mr. Bang, you started all of this. All of this should have been handled internally, but you failed so badly in your job given what you caused.
[+252] The longer Hive talks, the more trivial he becomes. Are they seriously calling this an argument in court now?
[+375] Bang's argument is basically blaming everyone for what he did.
[+232] There must be something wrong with your brain to ruin someone you personally scouted like this.
[+95] Why are you talking about yourself??
[+157] Would Ador's refusal to participate in the album be considered 'evil' to you?

[+1,400] Let’s also release Sihyuk’s support KakaoTalk message.
[+504] The only thing Hive had to show in court was a KakaoTalk conversation where Hive allegedly said bad things about the two girls… There's really no evidence. She needs to provide her evidence if he wants to sue her for breach of trust.
[+536] So what are the facts presented by Hive?
[+449] By now, it is quite obvious that there was no coup by Min Hee-jin. Hive is truly pathetic.
[+603] Hahaha still no mention of plagiarism or cult rumors and the media is still running like a hive.
[+111] Bang Si-hyuk is pathetic… It's really pathetic that he thinks his lies will get through to anyone.
[+880] Hive seems more interested in changing public feelings about New Jin and Min Hee-jin than proving that there was a coup or breach of trust.
[+72] The hive is too dirty
[+169] Yes, we should get rid of Bang Si-hyuk first.
[+574] Bang Si-hyuk's cell phone should also be submitted to forensics.
[+244] It's clear that Hybe doesn't give a damn about New Jeans anymore. I heard it loud and clear.

video: Hive raises the issue of Min Hee-jin's 'use of new jeans' in trial
source: YTN via YouTube
[+169] Hive is accusing Min Hee-jin of making money using New Gene… If New Gene takes that money, won't it end up in Hive's pocket?
[+35] It was the first 1:1 in court today, and the only evidence Hive had to present was a KakaoTalk conversation lol. They were trying to accuse a shaman of running his own business idea. So the judge reprimanded them like this, “Please stop involving shamans and just have a legal argument.” Haha, is this really the job of a large law firm? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha funny
[+141] Please show Bang Si-hyuk’s KakaoTalk! Let's see what we can find haha.
[+22] Why is Hive's claim that Ador is trying to make more money so bad? They need to keep quiet until there is actual evidence that there was a breach of trust here.
[+19] Hive's argument is really interesting. Most of the money New Jeans makes goes directly to New Jeans.
[+112] Sihyuk is so desperate that he is even searching through his private conversations haha. Let's make KakaoTalk public too haha. I wonder what disgusting conversations he has in private haha.
[+42] Hive never talks about their hoarding or cult rumors, they always talk about attacking Min Hee-jin.

article: Min Hee-jin reveals that ‘young kids’ are ‘absolutely fat’ in a text message about putting down new jeans
source: Sports Chosun, via Nate
[+297, -160] Jinho Lee has lied so much that I can't believe he lied like that.
[+271, -116] She said all this to New Jeans? Reveal the full context of the conversation or not at all. It feels like these have all been maliciously discarded.
[+197, -41] Jin-ho Lee claimed that his girlfriend wanted to break up, but that was not the result. He was wrong many times.
[+120, -71] I'm sure anyone can find someone's dirty points if they really look for it, but there's already enough evidence that Min Hee-jin treated New Jin very well.

[+983] I haven't seen this level of gossip since elementary school.
[+413] Hive is such an insignificant company… I didn't know it was such an insignificant company.
[+136] Then find out who leaked this supposed text message.
[+148] It's all childish hahahahaha
[+6] So is this all that one of our country's largest law firms can come up with? lol…;;;;
[+77] Hive is playing so badly
[+49] It's so insignificant hahahaha Hive doesn't have the qualities to be considered for the big leagues…
[+111] Hahahaha the media play is crazy
[+43] Yeah, I don't believe a word of this…
[+4] If you're going to claim that I told nonsense about New Gene, you should reveal who the source was lol Who is the 'acquaintance' who shared the text message?
[+6] Are the Hive PR team elementary school students?
[+7] Wow, Hive is now a snitch hahahahahahahahaha
[+20] Sorry, Dokju, but I think you need more than this to proceed 1:1~~~~~~
[+2] New Jeans' success is all thanks to Min Hee-jin, case closed
[+8] There's really nothing in the hive haha.
[+5] The hive is low level ㅡㅡ
[+2] So here's another claim that basically has no evidence to support it.
[+6] It seems like we're seeing the last of Hybe's thrash, because there's nothing left.
