Identity Revealed: Mysterious Man Standing Next to Min Hee Jin at NewJeans Press Conference
Min Hee Jin rocked the K-pop world with a bombshell press conference on February 25 in Seoul.
The former ADOR CEO shocked fans and industry insiders by offering to give up ₩25.6 billion KRW (about $17.9 million USD) in stock options if HYBE stops all civil and legal disputes not just against her, but also against every NewJeans member, former ADOR staff, outside vendors, and NewJeans fans.
This was no long speech. The entire meeting lasted under 10 minutes before Min Hee Jin abruptly left the venue.
A mystery man stood close by her side the whole time, catching everyone’s attention. Fans quickly recognized him as BLACK.Q, the choreographer behind NewJeans’ hits like “Attention,” “Hype Boy,” “OMG,” “Ditto,” and “Super Shy.”
BLACK.Q’s presence fueled rumors about his relationship with Min Hee Jin. His social media confirms it—he now lists Min’s company, OOAK Records, as his affiliation.
That hints at a big role for BLACK.Q in Min Hee Jin’s upcoming new boy group.
