On Friday, September 19, the South Korean news outlet revealed that HYBE and its subsidiary, BELIFT LAB, received approval from the U.S. court to uncover the details of an anonymous X user who had allegedly spread over 3,000 pieces of false information and created defamatory posts since March 2025.These posts raised accusations against HYBE and BELIFT LAB about covering up workplace harassment, deleting pieces of evidence, and more. More importantly, the posts also often referenced the former CEO of ADOR, Min Hee-jin. Given that Min Hee-jin and the company are currently under a legal dispute due to the disagreement over the CEO's put option, which is worth around 26 billion won.For the ongoing lawsuit, the company required the details of the anonymous X user to use it as a subpoena in court. Since X is a US-based company, Korean courts couldn't be involved in revealing the X user's identity. Hence, HYBE and BELIF LAB used the legal tool, 28 USC §1782, a process that allows foreign lawsuits to gain evidence from US companies, to obtain the information.Following this, X must provide at least the minimum identifying details of the anonymous user within 30 days. X also needs to notify the affected users within 10 days. However, the users and X can challenge the request within 21 days from now. On the other hand, sensitive details of the user are not necessary to be included in the request.All you need to know about the ongoing legal dispute between HYBE and Min Hee-jinMin Hee-jin and HYBE Labels are currently on trial for the disagreement between the ADOR CEO's put option and the termination of the shareholders' agreement between the two parties.
