Below is the full text of Adore's additional statement.

We would like to prevent further controversy by revealing the exact facts regarding Hive's statement attempting to cover up the unfortunate incident of the late-night audit of a female employee that occurred yesterday.

This issue stemmed from Hybe's lack of understanding of the work and treatment of stylists. Core talents in creative fields such as design, choreography, and styling tend to earn more when they work as freelancers outside the company than when they work for the company, depending on their capabilities. Therefore, a flexible compensation system is needed in the actual label business to maintain these capabilities.

Adore also believes that talents who have achieved results should be appropriately compensated, and has been providing high incentives commensurate with performance to not only this stylist but also highly capable talents.

The cost that Hive is raising an issue with is not recorded as company revenue, but is a cost that advertisers incur when using outsourced stylists, and the advertiser pays this to the stylist who performed the work.

Regarding the receipt of these expenses, the CEO/Vice CEO/Stylist discussed it and decided that it would be better for the internal stylist to do the work in terms of efficiency and quality, and that the advertiser would pay them fairly for it. This was sufficiently explained in the materials submitted to HR.

We deeply regret that Hive is trying to cover up yesterday's unfortunate incident by disguising the payment it received as an illegal amount.

In addition, we would like to clarify that the situation last night was that Hive was making it seem like only the woman went to the house, but the man and the woman were together all the way to the house, and the man was guarding the house, and the woman even came into the house and asked for her cell phone and other things.

We hope that Hive will stop using Adore as an excuse to disclose private conversations for their own purposes and to not protect the human rights of employees of its affiliates.

Adore has clearly stated its intention to withdraw through a notice of withdrawal of consent to provision and use of information as of May 9. Please be aware that if false facts or personal KakaoTalk conversations are continuously distributed to the press, Hive plans to take active civil and criminal action against the relevant parties.
