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.

https://lnkd.in/dJiASpni 👽 Next time before choosing a festival, I recommend checking if it will be held;) 💲 Why?  People often forget that a festival is also a business, which, at the end of the day, is supposed to make a profit and, exactly like other businesses, is subject to the same laws of demand, supply and has its liquidity (or lack thereof). 🔫 What data is relevant?  - sales revenue - operating expenses - short-term liabilities - liquidity ratio  - reserve capital   and many more... Of course, you can dig through the Internet in search of this information and then calculate profitability on a calculator on your own while we have already done it and packaged it in the Temida Platform.  We have your company's and your neighbor's financial results, and if he didn't provide them it means he has something to hide;) What we didn't forecast, however, is the rain on #burningman 💧 Wyborcza.pl Plejada.pl NOIZZ.pl newonce

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.

The Mere Exposure Effect and how you can use it to grow your business and expand your influence.: https://lttr.ai/AMGcE #MereExposureEffect #CreatingMemorableBranding #AchieveLongTermSuccess

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

The Intellectual Property Office UK's weekly trade mark journal provides for interesting insights into what companies intend to offer in the near future 🎼 In the most recent publication, we came across Hans Zimmer's UK trade mark application for "Hans Zimmer", protected in classes 9, 16 and 41, with goods and services that would protect musical items such as CDs, musical scores, film, sound and concerts among others. Is this Hans and his team looking to firm up his rights in his name? This is a common practice ahead of pushing a celebrity's name to sell merchandise, tickets or any other good or service. We note he's about to start a two-month, 20-performance tour. The application may have been in reaction to that. Trade marks are an essential part of any business. If you have any queries regarding your trade mark rights, please do not hesitate to contact us with a brief and we will respond with our initial thoughts: hello@trademakr.com #HansZimmer #Celebrity #trademarks #trademark #uktrademark #uktrademarks #brand #brandprotection

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲 - 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟴 - 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗘𝗖𝗜! "Almost all Indians, certainly all who care for the country, are waiting for 2024 the way Indians once waited for 1947" - Kaushik Basu So, I have done my voting! First of all I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to ECI, for making this giant festival so seamless and smooth. It's not an easy thing to do in our massive country. If anyone don't feel like that, try arranging small family function with meticulous planning and execution. Reaping 60 crore votes one by one at a time is an achievement by itself which is a commendable feat. But is also condemnable when a certain ignorant couched potato at pulpit abused ECI of its potential stating that counting 60 crore votes is a massive work as even his own state has more population than Germany. With so much manpower at disposal can't we count easier than Germany? Wish we had someone like TN Seshan or his immediate successors as CEC, who took a sticky lesson to Politicians, Bureaucrats and even Judiciary. The voting journey to my hometown is a story by itself. The state run buses did not stop on the route as it got full at the Main Bus Stand itself. On the way, the bus got blocked by irate passengers, waiting for too long. I don't know how supposedly great administrators of TN are not running special buses from 11 PM to 4 AM in the Kilambakkam bus stand, spiking protests. The Political leaders who meticulously planned the campaign, lost out on the execution, compared to ECI. I hope the rulers treat this as cautionary voice rather vengeful one, resorting to suppress dissent. The voting process was pretty seamless. ECI has provided online Booth slips which is commendable. The voting setup as such looks like science fiction movie with multiple devices and lighting gimmicks. Guys! we are just answering a simple multiple choice question. Even with such gimmicks, there is no end to end verifiability with the touch-me-not slips. ECI reminds me of Vadivelu comedy with a Hotel bearer. He enquires on availability various niche cuisines like Sbring rolls, Sheek kebabs, Brain fry etc, as the restaurant seems high tech, only to be disappointed that he could only have routine stuff. He then elaborates on Uthappam preparation, a fermented pan cake made of rice and lentils, on how crisp it should be, decorated with onion toppings. The Server after hearing his long lecture, unenthusiastically shouts to the chef to cook an ordinary Uthappam for the "Stupid Sir", giving palpitations on futility of his wishes. In my case, I could not even get a proper lunch as hotels were closed on the voting day. So, I messaged my wife, who will beat the Hotel Bearer in un-enthusiasm olympics, "Porridge Please!" Somehow the dining err... polling episode reminded me of the glory and the emptiness of our own democracy. But, I was filled with pride. Maybe its gastritis or, Maybe it's a gut feeling!
