Police decided not to file Min Hee-jin’s complaint against HYBE to the prosecution, concluding that Min Hee-jin could not prove that she had handed in her laptop to the company, and they stated it was legal for HYBE to read her work emails.
According to a report by entertainment outlet Tenasia, the Seoul Yongsan Police Precinct closed the case on Oct. 14, 11 months after Min filed an official complaint against Park Ji-won, the former CEO of HYBE, and Park Tae-hee, the chief communication officer of HYBE, for violating the Personal Information Protection Act.
The Yongsan Police Precinct concluded that Min could not prove that she handed in her laptop in August 2022, and that it was legal for HYBE to read the emails.
The news follows an earlier decision by the police to close the case on five HYBE executives, whom Min reported for conducting an illegal audit against her and her peers when she was the ADOR CEO.
