In a dramatic courtroom clash, former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin faces allegations that she engineered the infamous NewJeans-ILLIT plagiarism controversy, with Belift Lab's two billion won lawsuit heading toward a November 13th ruling that could reshape her legacy in K-pop. Meanwhile, IU makes a triumphant comeback with 'From This Star,' instantly claiming number one on Melon's Hot One Hundred, dominating Bugs and Genie charts, and breaking into iTunes charts across sixteen countries as fans anticipate her sixth full album.
