Min Hee Jin TAG PR Lawsuit: A New Front in the HYBE Conflict
TAG PR, a U.S. public relations firm previously majority-owned by HYBE between 2024 and 2025, is currently being sued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the firm engaged in organized "reverse viral marketing" or smear campaigns. Reports suggest that these tactics might have been used to undermine Min Hee Jin while protecting the image of powerful figures within and around the corporate structure.
The Dark Side of Global Crisis Management
Industry observers are closely watching whether Min Hee Jin will officially join the lawsuit as a plaintiff. If she does, the discovery phase scheduled for early spring could uncover how HYBE allegedly utilized overseas firms to shape public opinion. The case also touches on controversial figures like Scooter Braun and past scandals that TAG PR reportedly helped cover up. This legal maneuver marks a significant shift from domestic K-pop disputes to a global corporate governance battle.
