On April 25, ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin held a press conference to explain her side of the ongoing conflict with HYBE. During the press conference, she discussed many things, including text messages between her and HYBE CEO Bang Si Hyuk.

During these text messages, Bang Si Hyuk allegedly stated that he wanted to “crush aespa,” specifically mentioning the group.

Following these comments, a moment from LE SSERAFIM Eunchae’s interview with aespa from months ago has resurfaced.
As an MC for KBS’s Music Bank, Eunchae hosted Eunchae’s Star Diary, interviewing artists performing on the music show. In September 2023, aespa’s Karina and Ningning were guests on a special show episode.

At one point during the interview, Eunchae mentioned that the group is having a comeback in November, which they confirmed.

Karina’s face turned to shock as she questioned how that knowledge was known, as the members did not know any details themselves. Eunchae responded that the show’s staff probably had the information. She then asked if they knew what day it was because they didn’t know that either.

The video resurfaced as netizens discussed the statements allegedly made by Min Hee Jin, jokingly making a connection between how Eunchae knew the information and how HYBE was likely monitoring aespa’s activities.
