[Featured Stock] HYBE Soars on Min Hee-jin's Dismissal

"Separation of Production and Management is Positive"

HYBE's stock price has surged following the dismissal of Min Hee-jin, CEO of ADOR. This is interpreted as an expansion of investor sentiment based on the judgment that the potential for conflict has been removed.

As of 9:49 a.m. on the 28th, HYBE was trading at 184,700 KRW, up 4.47% (7,900 KRW) from the previous day.

The day before, ADOR held a board meeting and announced the appointment of Kim Joo-young, an inside director of ADOR, as the new CEO. Former CEO Min Hee-jin will take on the roles of inside director and producing duties at ADOR.

Regarding this, Min's side claims that the unilateral dismissal was made without her consent. ADOR explained that the notification of the agenda and the voting process were conducted legally in accordance with the Commercial Act and the articles of incorporation.

The securities industry views this positively. Kim Min-young, a researcher at Meritz Securities, said, "Separating production and management within ADOR's internal organization to enhance the multi-label system is a positive development."
