ADOR claimed that the defendants have leaked illegally acquired text communications and personal information without permission, and have made false edits. They further explained that the defendants forcibly acquired the ADORE-owned business laptop used by the complainants in April under the name of 'audit of subsidiaries of the parent company' and illegally acquired personal conversations.

They added that the defendants used the personal conversations to create negative public opinion about Min Hee Jin by editing and distorting facts and trying to defame her.  

Min Hee Jin's representative further stated that they officially and informally requested the defendants to stop this several times, but the defendants' illegal activities have continued. Therefore, they have chosen to take legal steps as they can no longer neglect the damage to artists and members of ADORE.
