After hearing Adore CEO Min Hee-jin’s press conference, Hive launched a direct rebuttal.

Regarding the claim that the financial compensation is small, “CEO Min said his annual salary is 2 billion won,” and “Specifically, the incentive for performance in 2023 is 2 billion won , and the annual salary and long-term incentives set separately. “This is by far the highest salary position among members of Hive headquarters and Korean subsidiaries,” he countered.

Hive, who provided huge stock compensation in addition to an annual salary, explained, “The value of the stock is so great that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine.”

However, CEO Min claimed that the company led the conversation to a breakdown by again suggesting an amount that could not be accepted.

The company emphasized that the ‘slave contract’ that CEO Min mentioned during the press conference was also not true.

As for the idea that shamans are just friends, he countered by saying, “External figures who interfere closely in the overall management cannot be considered just friends.”

Hive explains that during the conversation, various information, such as the number of undisclosed executive stock options, the names of potential investors, and the ratio of each investor’s shareholding were exchanged, and that decisions on management matters were made based on the shaman suggestions.

This type of conversation partner cannot be considered as just an acquaintance.

Hive said, “The company has been accepting and compromising with CEO Min’s constant demands for several years, but this time, we learned that these demands are a so-called ‘construction’ process to seizing control rights,” adding, “Regardless of the time, multi-label value “I had no choice but to go on an inspection to protect it,” explained the background.
