New Post: HYBE-ADOR feud: a comprehensive timeline of events - https://lnkd.in/gYZNJ6DV - The ongoing feud between South Korean entertainment giant HYBE and its subsidiary label ADOR has emerged as one of the most high profile feuds we’ve witnessed in K-pop in recent memory. READ MORE: aespa – ‘Armageddon’ review: the girl group shine brightest at their most experimental ADOR, which houses popular K-pop girl group NewJeans, is helmed by former SM Entertainment creative director Min Hee-jin and was once poised to become one of HYBE’s most lucrative labels. However, it is now at the centre of an alleged power struggle over the treatment and management of NewJeans and future creative projects under ADOR. Founded in November 2021, Min Hee-jin launched the label after two years as HYBE’s Chief Brand Officer. The futures of both ADOR and NewJeans remains unclear as the label and its parent company continue to vie for control and autonomy over management and creative direction of the label and NewJeans. Although many blanks have yet to be filled in the overarching battle, below is a full timeline of events that have occurred since both parties have taken their dispute to the public arena. April 22, 2024 – HYBE launches internal audit of ADOR The first signs of a power struggle between HYBE and its subsidiary K-pop agency ADOR, home to NewJeans, first emerged on April 22, when South Korean media reported that the audit team of entertainment giant HYBE had launched an investigation into ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and an unnamed executive of the company. HYBE later confirmed that it did launch an audit into ADOR executives over a suspicion that they were trying to take control of the K-pop agency, however no specific staff members were named in HYBE’s confirmation. Following the news, the stock price of HYBE began to drop. April 22, 2024 – ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin accuses HYBE of “undermining” NewJeans’ success Shortly after the news of HYBE’s audit into ADOR broke, CEO Min Hee-jin issued a statement accusing HYBE of “undermining” NewJeans’ success. She claimed HYBE had copied the “makeup, costumes, choreography, photos, videos and event appearances” of NewJeans for its latest girl group ILLIT, who debuted under separate subsidiary Belift Lab in late March. Min also claimed that she had filed an official complaint over what she described was a “copycat issue”, claiming that both HYBE and Belift Lab “refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, merely coming up with a string of excuses and delaying concrete responses”. In the same statement, she also refuted HYBE’s allegations about her trying to take control of the company. “I cannot understand how legitimate actions aimed at preserving the cultural achievements of affiliated artists like NewJeans are being twisted into conduct against ADOR’s interests or attempts to usurp its management rights,” she wrote.

New Post: HYBE, YG, SM and JYP Entertainment reportedly fined by South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission for strict purchase policies - https://lnkd.in/gH-kJBHv - K-pop companies HYBE, YG, SM and JYP Entertainment have reportedly been fined by the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) in South Korea for breaches its regulations after their stringent retail policies were investigated. READ MORE: ARTMS on putting together their 2024 ‘Moonshot’ world tour: “We really wanted to perfect everything” According to TenAsia, he FTC announced on August 11 that it had imposed corrective orders and fines amounting KRW10.5million (approximately £5716.71) on the official retail branches of HYBE, YG, SM and JYP Entertainment: Weverse Company, YG Plus, SM Brand Marketing and JYP Three Sixty, respectively. The companies being subject to FTC’s sanctions all operate the official online retail centres for the K-pop industry’s four biggest players. According to the commission, all four companies were found to have “arbitrarily shortened the period where customers are able to get refunds on idol-related merchandise”, including albums, which it deemed a breach of its regulations. Examples of some violations include SM’s policy of having any product refunded for simple change of mind arrive at its logistics centre within seven business days of its original delivery date, despite the law stating that customers have the right to seven days from the time it was received to decide on a return. Additionally, Weverse, SM and JYP all have a policy where they would not offer compensation for lost items after 30 days from when it was shipped, despite the law permitting monetary claims within three months of purchase, among others. In response to the results of FTC’s investigation, all four companies were quick to conduct voluntary policy correction where appropriate, which allowed their fines to be reduced. Weverse Company received the heaviest fine at KRW3million, while SM, YG, and JYP were each fined KRW2.5million In other K-pop news, Korean band Day6 have recently announced an upcoming world tour dubbed ‘Forever Young’, slated to kick off in September this year with a three-night residency at Incheon’s Inspire Arena. The first portion of the tour, also the Asian leg, will include cities in Japan, Southeast and East Asia, while shows in other regions have yet to be announced.

They created a documentary on something which is slowly going extinct… the Airline Barf Bag! Thanks to advances in air travel, and nauseas reducing medication. Seen through the eyes of a collector of airline barf bags, it created a docu titled: THE LAST BARF BAG: A TRIBUTE TO A CULTURAL ICON https://lnkd.in/dCgbTArR Besides limited-edition non-barf bags that turn into a hand puppet, gift bag, glove and more. Delivering these with a variety of motion sickness reducing products. It humanized, humorized a brand delivering content that is educational and entertaining!

New Post: HYBE is the first entertainment company on Korea’s conglomerate watchlist - https://lnkd.in/dm6_7MaZ - South Korean entertainment giant HYBE has become the first entertainment company added to South Korea’s conglomerate watchlist. READ MORE: tripleS – ‘ASSEMBLE24’ review: a captivating listen that was well worth the wait According to reports by South Korean media, HYBE is one of seven business groups that have been added to the watchlist of the East Asian country’s antitrust regulator, the Fair Trade Commission, per The Korea Times. The list currently includes 88 conglomerates in total, with HYBE being the only entertainment company. “The increase in the number of companies on this year’s watchlist came as entertainment, leisure and tourism industries, among others, have grown markedly thanks to the rising popularity of Korean culture and recovering consumer sentiment after the COVID-19 pandemic,” the regulator said. According to The Chosun Daily, conglomerates with assets of 5trillion won or more are classified as “large corporations” and are required to publicly disclose details about interaffiliate transactions, their ownership structure and more. HYBE’s total assets are estimated at 5.25trillion won. Per KBS World, the entertainment giant is the 85th largest conglomerate in South Korea. HYBE notably owns several K-pop agencies, including Big Hit Music \(BTS, Tomorrow X Together\), Belift Lab \(ENHYPEN, ILLIT\), ADOR \(NewJeans\), Source Music \(LE SSERAFIM\), Pledis Entertainment \(SEVENTEEN, fromis_9\) and KOZ Entertainment \(BOYNEXTDOOR\). The move to add HYBE to South Korea’s conglomerate watchlist comes amid an increasingly heated feud between ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and HYBE over the ownership of the NewJeans label. Just last week, ADOR announced an upcoming shareholder meeting to vote on whether to dismiss Min Hee-jin as CEO.

Ikan Hyu played their first small headline tour in Germany in early spring. Many of the small venues (capacities of 90-200) were sold out. A great start for the development of this duo. The focus was online ticket marketing, the video material we worked with is great, in a few seconds you can tell what it's all about and what the audience expects. With this visual material we were even able to sell tickets to a cold audience in advance. At a time when everyone is moaning about how difficult it is to sell tickets. Great visual moving image material is the most important thing at the moment. This is still extremely underestimated by many bands and labels. #livemusic #onlinemarketing #marketing

Why, though? It's taxpayer dollars, don't we have a right to know about this deal? "Govt considering action against those who leaked confidential info on S’pore’s Taylor Swift deal: Edwin Tong". If they were so worried about it coming out then maybe that was telling them not to do the deal? Our neighbours certainly aren't impressed so it has damaged relations there. Other acts will now also ask for a bonus/bribe (however you wish to phrase it) to play only here if they're smart, or rather their US promoter will as the $ ain't going to the act, it's going to AEG in the TS case. Since the government seems to be trumping this deal for the benefits of trying to curry favour with voters I'm not sure how they can then prosecute the people who leaked it since Minister Tong has been doing interviews about it!! If it was that sensitive why was he doing that? Why is he PRing it? Anyway it seems that it was AEG who leaked it and there's nothing that the government can do to them if it still wants future concerts from them to come here! Of course what the Minister didn't say was what happened to the 50+ major acts that I have worked out that have NOT played Singapore but HAVE played elsewhere in Asia Pacific in the last couple of years. From stadium fillers like Pink and Pearl Jam to arena fillers like Blink 182 and Iron maiden to name but 4 there are acts being announced every week not playing Singapore. Avenged Sevenfold for example are only playing a stadium in Jakarta, Muse only played KL stadium and one look at Ticketmaster or Ticketek in Australia shows you dozens of acts not playing here but playing there. So if the Minister wants the kudos for doing concert deals why isn't he bringing in something a little less obvious and point scoring than Swift, (who was going to play here anyway regardless as to what the Minister did), but still economically important like some of those other acts? What do you think? #singapore https://lnkd.in/gh9j5BDx
