First, regarding his relationship with Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, he said, “First, he asked me to do HYBE’s branding.Next, he asked me to create a girl group together, but Chairman Bang Si-hyuk said, as he had a habit of saying, “I don’t have confidence in girl groups. He said, ‘Let’s work together,’ and relied on me completely.” He revealed that at the time, ADOR was not established and SOURCE MUSIC was not absorbed.

While talking about the acquisition of SOURCE MUSIC, Chairman Bang Si-hyuk said, “I think we can move quickly because we have trainees here.The three of us have been talking about moving forward together.I said I didn’t like it at first, but I kept making suggestions.” I wanted to be cooperative with him because he gave me a lot of money and I changed jobs.” However, they not only disagreed, but also revealed that among the SOURCE MUSIC trainees, there was no one they wanted to work with other than Minzy, who is a current member of New Jeans. After that, members were gathered through casting, but as the new coronavirus spread, there were many different opinions with Chairman Bang Si-hyuk.

Meanwhile, around July 2021, HYBE CEO Park Ji-won suddenly announced, “HYBE’s first girl group is likely to be the next group of SOURCE MUSIC.A group led by Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae-won.” He revealed that he was angry.

CEO Min Hee-jin said, “What’s amazing is that (Park) Ji-won asked her not to promote New Jeans until LE SSERAFIM debuted.” It’s like, “Min Hee-jin’s girl group.” I didn’t understand what it meant.The members had already taken over the task, so I couldn’t give up.I thought I could make it work even if they interfered.”

Meanwhile, the contents of the message with Chairman Bang Si-hyuk were also made public. On December 2, 2021, in response to Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s message, “Aespa, you can knock someone down, right?” he said, “Aespa was not my goal, and I’m not the kind of person who would think of knocking someone down.I was speechless. “When people around me told me that I was a successful nerd, I thought (Chairman Bang) was a Buddha-like person, but when I was working with him, I felt like he was two sides of the same coin.” Ta.

He also revealed, “When NewJeans debuted, I didn’t even say congratulations,” and when NewJeans’ “Ditto” ranked on Billboard’s “HOT ​​100,” he suddenly sent a message of congratulations and asked, “Are you having fun?” “It was a very strange conversation. It’s no longer the way we used to talk,” he added.
