At this time, hell has broken loose at BTS’s company building, HYBE, as ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin feuds with the company. Recently, she even allegedly accused multiple K-pop groups of plagiarizing her, including BTS.

In another document discovered during the audit process the day before, it was reported that CEO Min made a statement in an external conversation regarding Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, saying ‘In fact, he’s copied from me and come this far.’ In the industry, it is known that CEO Min frequently made remarks in private about BTS copying her after joining HYBE.

ARMYs are also suspicious that Min Hee Jin is the source of idols’ private information being leaked in recent years. One of these artists is BTS leader RM.

A key takeaway from this mhj situation is she leaked some of the idols' private info. Which, for example, could be soobin's and youngseo's private live and video call ss. Now remember how those incidents affected seunghan?

it's so crazy that ever since mhj was hired to work for hybe the amount of sasaengs calling tannies every live even staying waiting infront of their houses, and even enha getting random calls at live and the flight schedules im thinking she's the one who leaked everything…

So you're telling me that Namjoon information was constantly leaked by none other than Min Hee Jin and then she brought in some staff and tells everyone that they leaked information. Then k!ck them out of the company

Fans have been genuinely curious about K-Pop idols’ reactions to this ongoing drama surrounding Min Hee Jin. Many hope that someone will speak up.

Now, it seems that one has. Recently, RM updated his Instagram Stories with an older photo of himself at a beach. He captioned it with a laughing emoji, and that’s it.

Yet, RM has historically used the laughing emoji amidst the public drama. Last year, he used an emoji when he politely called out a monk for publicizing his private visit to the Hwaeomsa Temple in Mount Jirisan.

I was grateful for the time spent there, but didn’t expect an article about it…

Likewise, when an employee of South Korea’s railway operator, KORAIL, had been abusing their power and looking up RM‘s personal information, including his photo number and address, RM responded by posting a screenshot of an article with text representing the  emoji.

RM is known not only to address matters subtly, but he has also proven himself to stay informed on current affairs despite his busy schedule. Recently, he chimed in on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar rap beef by sharing their 2012 collab “Poetic Justice.”

Knowing RM, ARMYs believe his recent Instagram update is a response to the ADOR vs. HYBE beef, especially since Min Hee Jin has now come for BTS. They think he probably knows much more but feels he can’t speak more about the issues.
