Album pushing, similar to sajaegi, is when a distributor purchases album releases in bulk to boost first week sales numbers which then the agency compensates through fan signings and events. 

[+210, -21] Hybe offered to push New Jeans' second EP 'Get Up' by 100,000 copies to beat Aespa's first week numbers, but Ador declined it saying it went against their business philosophy.

[+132, -10] In the end, New Jeans ranked second in first week sales for the year of 2023, and first in overall sales

[+123, -9] Wow, what's this about Le Sserafim's plagiarism? They paid them off?

[+110, -8] Hybe is truly ruining the music industry, let's please run our businesses with more ethics than this ㅠㅠㅠ

[+87, -28] Min Hee Jin and her group are truly waging an unfathomable battle against a large corporation... ㅜ

[+22, -3] So does that mean all of Hybe's groups partake in this aside from New Jeans..

[+16, -7] Min Hee Jin, total win!

[+13, -3] There is so much going on from album pushing to Hybe trying to cancel New Jeans' luxury ambassador contract to favoring Le Sserafim promos

[+9, -1] I doubt it's just album pushing that Hybe does ㅋㅋㅋ go investigate all of Hybe's rookie idols and how they perform on the Melon, everyone knows there's sajaegi involved

[+7, -2] Does Bang have something against Aespa or something? Why is he constantly checking on them...

[+6, -3] I bet if Ador accepted the album pushing offer, then Hybe still would've used that as an excuse to terminate her.

[+343] Hybe's already crossed a river they cannot come back from...

[+380] Everything that comes out of his mouth is not something that he has any business saying right now

[+500] His narcissism is insane...

[+208] Look at him talking about following the rules when he's copied everything...

[+617] He's so painfully childish... it's truly shocking;;;

[+220] He's accusing her of ruining K-Pop, does copying her ideas for his own groups count in that too?

[+709] None of this is anything you should haev the audacity of saying

[+216] Min Hee Jin's "evil" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ he's trying so hard to make her out to be the devil when his own groups both Le Sserafim and ILLIT have their own skeletons in the closet

[+561] Everything he's accusing Min Hee Jin of, being evil, ruining the K-Pop system, sounds more like a self-introducion... His own evil has ruined Le Sserafim, and now even ILLIT has been branded as a knock-off group. He lives his life exactly the way his face looks. Stop eating. Your brain is so rotten in dopamine that you don't even know what's going on anymore.

[+272] The truly evil are always projecting their own evil onto others and accusing them of it

[+440] The best Bang Shi Hyuk could come up with was "she's evil" ㅋㅋㅋ so did you make Replica Jeans out of the goodness of your haert then?

[+374] The only one ruining any system here is you ㅋㅋ with all your album pushing and plagiarism

[+193] Bang-ssi, you started all of this. This all should've been handled internally, but you're such a failure at your job that look at what you've caused.

[+252] Hybe gets pettier and pettier the longer you let them talk. Are they seriously calling this an argument in court right now?

[+375] Bang's argument is basically accusing everyone of things that he himself has committed

[+232] There's obviously something wrong with his brain to try and ruin someone that he personally scouted like this

[+95] Why is he talking about himself??

[+157] Is Ador's refusal to participate in your album pushing considered 'evil' to you?

[+1,400] Let's release Katalks between Shi Hyuk and Ji Won too

[+504] The only thing Hybe had to show in court were some Katalk conversations where they alleged she talked ill of the girls... They really have no evidence. If you're suing her for breach of trust, you need to provide the evidence.

[+536] So what're the facts that Hybe presented?

[+449] It's quite obvious by now that there was no coup ever staged by Min Hee Jin. Hybe's so pathetic.

[+603] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Still no word on the plagiarism or cult rumors, still media playing like the Hybe that they are

[+111] Bang Shi Hyuk's pathetic... he really thinks all his lies are going to work on anyone. 

[+880] Feels like Hybe cares more about turning public sentiment against New Jeans and Min Hee Jin than they care about proving that there was a coup or a breach of trust.

[+72] Hybe's so dirty

[+169] Okay, we need to begin by terminating Bang Shi Hyuk

[+574] Bang Shi Hyuk's cellphone should be submitted to forensics too ㅋㅋ

[+244] Quite clear that Hybe does not give one sh*t about New Jeans now, heard loud and clear

[+169] I mean, Hybe's accusing Min Hee Jin of using New Jeans to make money... but when New Jeans brings in that money, does it not ultimately line Hybe's pockets??

[+35] It was their first 1:1 in court today and the only piece of evidence that Hybe had to put out were "Katalk" conversations ㅋㅋㅋ to try and accuse her of running her business ideas by a shaman ㅋㅋㅋ so the judge had to reprimand them like, "Please stop bringing the shaman into this and only make legal arguments" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ is this really the work of a big law firm? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+141] Bang Shi Hyuk, show us your Katalks! Let's see what we can find ㅋㅋ

[+22] Why is Hybe's argument that Ador trying to make more money is such a bad thing? They need to shut up until they bring out some real evidence that there were any acts of a breach of trust here.

[+19] Hybe's argument is so funny. The majority of the money New Jeans makes goes straight to them.

[+112] Shi Hyuk's so desperate that he's resorting to combing through personal conversations ㅋㅋ let's release your Katalks too ㅋㅋ I'm curious to see what disgusting conversations you're having in private ㅋㅋ

[+42] Hybe never speaks on any of their sajaegi or cult rumors, always and only about attacking Min Hee Jin

[+297, -160] Lee Jin Ho has lied about so many things that it's hard for me to believe this coming from him

[+271, -116] She said all this to New Jeans? Either reveal the entire context of the conversations or don't reveal it at all. Feels like these were all maliciously scrapped together.

[+197, -41] Lee Jin Ho's the one who claimed that Girlfriend wanted to disband but it turned out to not be the case. He's been wrong on many occasions.

[+120, -71] I'm sure everyone can find dirt about anyone if you really looked for it, but there's already enough proof that Min Hee Jin has treated New Jeans very well than not

[+983] I have never seen this level of tattling since elementary school

[+413] Hybe is so, so petty... I never knew they were such a petty company

[+136] So reveal who leaked these supposed texts ㅋ 

[+148] This is all so childish ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+6] So this is all that one of the biggest law firms in our country could come up with? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ...;;;;

[+77] Hybe's playing so nasty

[+49] So petty ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hybe just doesn't have what it takes to be considered in the big leagues...

[+111] Puhahahaha the media play is insane

[+43] Yeah, I don't believe even a word of this....

[+4] If you're going to make the claim that she talked sh*t about New Jeans, you need to release who the source of this is ㅋㅋㅋㅋ who is this "acquaintance" that shared these texts?

[+6] Is Hybe's PR team in elementary school?

[+7] Wow, Hybe has resorted to tattling now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+20] Sorry dogjusshis, but you're going to need more than this to come on 1:1~~~~~~

[+2] New Jeans' success is all thanks to Min Hee Jin, case closed

[+8] Hybe really has nothing ㅋㅋ

[+5] Hybe's so low class ㅡㅡ

[+2] So basically, another claim that they have no evidence to back up with

[+6] Feels like we're watching Hybe's one last thrash because they've got nothing left
