LE SSERAFIM’s agency, Source Music, is turning heads with yet another postponement in its legal face-off against former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. Initially set for March 14, 2025, the second hearing is now pushed to May 30, 2025, due to a scheduling request. Fans suspect the shift aims to cover the drama so it doesn’t overshadow LE SSERAFIM’s comeback.

This controversial lawsuit, first heard on January 10, 2025, centers on Source Music’s claim that Min Hee Jin spread bogus details about LE SSERAFIM’s debut. They’re demanding a hefty 500 million KRW in damages for alleged falsehoods made during the former CEO’s emergency press conference on April 25, 2025, where she revealed confidential information about Source Music and LE SEERAFIM.
After LE SSERAFIM made their debut, Min Hee Jin said that HYBE’s CEO Park Ji Won asked her to stop promoting NewJeans*https://t.co/b1dmBgRbzo

Despite the courtroom drama, LE SSERAFIM dropped their fifth mini-album, HOT, on March 14, 2025, avoiding the overlap with this legal showdown. Now, all eyes are on May 30, 2025, when the second hearing is set to unveil more intriguing information about Source Music and Min Hee Jin.
