LE SSERAFIM Agency Files Lawsuit Against Min Hee Jin

LE SSERAFIM agency SOURCE Music has initiated legal action against Min Hee-jin, the CEO of Ador.

Min Hee Jin Faces New Lawsuit Filed by LE SSERAFIM Agency

According to reports from the legal community on July 15th, SOURCE Music recently filed a lawsuit in the Seoul Western District Court, seeking 500 million won (approximately $395,000 USD) in damages for defamation, business interference, and insult allegedly caused by Min Hee-jin. This amount could potentially increase as it currently represents only a portion of the total damages claimed by SOURCE Music.

The lawsuit revolves around three primary issues. Firstly, Min Hee-jin claimed that she personally cast the members of NewJeans. Secondly, she made a unilateral decision to debut NewJeans as HYBE’s first girl group. Thirdly, she asserted that SOURCE Music neglected the members of NewJeans.

It’s a well-known fact that some members of NewJeans were former trainees of SOURCE Music. Min Hee-jin has accused SOURCE Music of neglecting these trainees and expressed her dissatisfaction with LE SSERAFIM’s debut preceding that of NewJeans. During her first press conference on April 25th, Min Hee-jin remarked, “We were neglected when managed by SOURCE,” and “All members joined HYBE because of me.” SOURCE Music claims these comments led to rumors suggesting that LE SSERAFIM received preferential treatment, which caused severe online harassment and damage to their reputation.

In response to these allegations, SOURCE Music has reportedly submitted evidence to support their claims. This evidence includes instances where Min Hee-jin, serving as a brand manager, allegedly delayed NewJeans’ debut schedule and acknowledged LE SSERAFIM’s earlier debut. Furthermore, the evidence encompasses examples of damages caused by negative online comments stemming from Min Hee-jin’s remarks.

This legal battle underscores the tensions within the K-pop industry and highlights the complexities involved in managing and debuting new groups. As the case progresses, it will be closely watched by fans and industry insiders alike, eager to see how these allegations and the accompanying legal proceedings unfold.

LE SSERAFIM Takes Strong Legal Action Against False And Malicious Posts

SOURCE MUSIC has taken a decisive stance against the propagation of malicious posts and false allegations targeting LE SSERAFIM, as declared in an official statement released on April 26. The agency asserts its commitment to safeguarding the integrity and reputation of its artists by initiating strong legal action against those responsible for spreading harmful content.

LE SSERAFIM To Take Strong Legal Action Against Malicious Posts

On April 26, SOURCE MUSIC issued a statement announcing that they are taking strong legal action against malicious posts about LE SSERAFIM.

“The false allegations suggesting that LE SSERAFIM has caused harm to other artists and the presentation of groundless information as established facts to influence public opinion constitute clear instances of spreading false information. Posts containing slander and insults, defamation of the artist’s character, and instances of sexual harassment are all subject to legal action,” it read.

The catalyst for this firm response stems from the controversy surrounding LE SSERAFIM’s performance at Coachella 2024, which sparked intense debate within the K-Pop community regarding the standards of live performances in the industry. Amid heightened scrutiny following their appearance at the prestigious music festival, a viral video circulating online showcased the group’s vocals without backing tracks, further amplifying criticism and scrutiny of their performance.

SOURCE MUSIC’s proactive approach in defending LE SSERAFIM is not unprecedented. Just last month, the agency issued an official statement addressing a barrage of malicious posts targeting the group’s members.

By announcing their intent to pursue legal action, SOURCE MUSIC sends a resounding message that malicious behavior and online harassment will not be tolerated. As fans await updates on the outcome of the legal proceedings, it is imperative for all individuals to uphold principles of respect and empathy in their online interactions. Participation in or propagation of harmful rumors and gossip not only undermines the integrity of artists but also fosters a toxic online environment detrimental to the entire community.

The agency emphasized the seriousness of the situation and urged fans to refrain from engaging with or spreading unverified information that could harm the members of LE SSERAFIM.

“Source Music will continue to provide support for its artists so that the artists may greet fans with a healthy image,” it concluded.

This is an awesome update considering that LE SSERAFIM is set to release a digital single titled “Perfect Night.” The release comes as part of a special collaboration with the video game “Overwatch 2” and is scheduled for October 27, 2023. As part of this exciting collaboration, the group will also be performing at the highly anticipated video game convention ‘BlizzCon 2023,’ taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center, with their performance set for November 4, 2023.

K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is returning with new music titled “Perfect Night.”

Source Music announced that “Perfect Night” will serve as the group’s first English-language single. 

Previously, the quintet’s only all-English track was the hit song “Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife.”

Despite being a B-track from the group’s Unforgiven album, it easily became a fan-favorite. Not only did LE SSERAFIM have to release a full English version of it, but it also spawned remixes with international stars such as Rina Sawayama, Upsahi, BIBI, Mirani, Camo, and Demi Lovato. 

While its success might be hard to follow through, LE SSERAFIM appears to be ready to take on the challenge. And their fans are already anticipating the upcoming single as it’s the group’s first release in five months. 

What we know about ‘Perfect Night’

In a press release, Source Music announced that ‘Perfect Night’ will “send an energetic message that even a not-so-perfect day can be fun when you spend it with your crew.”

Prior to the confirmation of the single, LE SSERAFIM also released a cryptic teaser for the track. There, a pink convertible is seen speeding along a race track. Then, the phrase “Tonight, I don’t care what’s wrong or right” appeared onscreen. 

On Monday, October 15, the “ANTI-FRAGILE” singers released the first set of individual and group photos for ‘Perfect Night.’ 

Similar to the vibes of the video teaser, the LE SSERAFIM members mixed sporty and futuristic themes in the photos. Overall, the pictures followed a neon pink, blue, and silver scheme. 

 

Meanwhile, track samplers and music video teasers will be available to the fans before the track’s official release on October 27. 

‘Perfect Night’ comes after LE SSERAFIM was supposed to wrap up their first concert tour FLAME RISES. However, their Bangkok show had to be canceled as three members were diagnosed with Type A influenza. 

In other news, LE SSERAFIM was also recently chosen as brand ambassadors for the fashion luxury house Louis Vuitton. Interestingly, they’re the first K-pop girl group to be tapped as a full act by the brand.
