As HYBE and former ADORE CEO Min Hee-jin continue their intense conflict, a Chinese shopping mall captured a heartwarming scene of HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk and former CEO Min Hee-jin, surprising netizens. However, it was revealed to be a 'Halloween cosplay' by a Chinese couple.

On the 29th, several photos were posted on various domestic online communities under the title "Min Hee-jin and Bang Si-hyuk spotted in China." The released photos showed a Chinese couple cosplaying as Chairman Bang Si-hyuk and former CEO Min Hee-jin.

The woman perfectly mimicked the outfit and hairstyle that former CEO Min Hee-jin showcased at a press conference last April, which had become a hot topic. Wearing a blue baseball cap and a green striped T-shirt, the woman tied her hair so that the side strands hung down. The man flawlessly recreated Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s outfit from when he was spotted with a female streamer on a street in the U.S. last August. Wearing a navy long T-shirt, beige cotton pants, and sunglasses, he completed Bang Si-hyuk’s American fashion look.

Domestic netizens who saw the photos reacted with amusement, saying things like, "I was shocked thinking it was a secret meeting," "I thought they had reconciled dramatically," "Even knowing, it looks so real," "Best Halloween costume of the year," "The most realistic thing done in China," "Temu Min Hee-jin, Ali Bang Si-hyuk," "K-pop’s influence is truly amazing," "They must be laughing even if they see this," and "NewJeans would be fooled too."

Meanwhile, former CEO Min Hee-jin filed an injunction against HYBE, ADORE’s parent company, requesting to be reinstated as CEO, but the court dismissed the request on the 29th, preventing her return to the position. Regarding this, HYBE stated, “We appreciate the court’s wise judgment. HYBE will take this decision as an opportunity to normalize ADORE, advance the multi-label system, and do its best to support artist activities.”
