Choi Jung Won Personally Speaks Up Regarding Recent Allegations Involving Girlfriend
Choi Jung Won, a former member of the duo UN, has personally addressed stalking allegations. On August 19, Seoul’s Jungbu Police Station said Choi Jung Won was booked on August 16 on suspicion of violating the Stalking Crime Punishment Act. Police then requested an emergency restraining order from the court, which was approved. On August 20, Choi Jung Won posted a lengthy statement on his social media account. Read the full statement below: Hello, this is Choi Jung Won. The report released yesterday was about a personal conflict between my girlfriend and me, and it was essentially a minor quarrel that escalated into a misunderstanding. In the heat of the moment, there was room for misinterpretation, and as a result, the situation was reported in a way that did not reflect the facts. I deeply regret that. The phrase “my girlfriend’s revelation,” which appeared in some reports, also comes from misunderstanding and does not match the facts. The claim that I threatened her with a weapon or that I engaged in stalking is completely false. Both my girlfriend and I firmly deny those allegations. I plan to take strong action against such false information. I sincerely apologize again that my personal life caused misunderstanding and that it led to troubling news. From now on, I will act with greater caution and with responsibility. I am sorry.
ADOR Appoints New CEO
HYBE subsidiary ADOR has appointed a new CEO. On August 20, the label revealed that Vice President Lee Do Kyung has been appointed as its new CEO. Explaining the decision, ADOR stated, “This move is intended to further strengthen the label’s operations as a company dedicated to planning and managing artists’ activities, including albums and concerts.” Previously, in August of last year, ADOR appointed HR specialist Kim Joo Young as CEO in order to separate production and management and stabilize its organizational structure through appropriate personnel restructuring. With those goals now accomplished, the board has chosen to shift toward a system that can more swiftly support artist activities and business growth—entrusting the role to a leader with hands-on expertise in label management. The newly appointed CEO, Lee Do Kyung, joined HYBE (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) in 2019, where she helped shape the company’s vision and business strategy while spearheading new ventures. In 2022, she served as Vice President of HYBE Music Group’s IPX Business Division, which focuses on expanding artist IP–based businesses, playing a key role in advancing solutions that leverage artist IP. Her track record also includes overseeing HYBE Music Group’s entire merchandise, pop-up store, and light stick businesses, as well as leading THE CITY project—a large-scale collaboration that applied artist IP across entire cities where concerts were held, offering fans immersive experiences beyond the stage.
