Min Hee Jin files for appeal

Recently, Min Hee Jin was found guilty by the court of law for workplace harassment. For her sentence, the Seoul Western District Court Judge Jung Cheol Min ruled that she pay a hefty fine. The former CEO, as per Tenasia reports, has now filed for an appeal with the court against their ruling.Her fine was established by the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office for verbally abusing an employee of her company.

The case was filed after the anonymous employee claimed that her actions caused them emotional and mental stress. A statement from the ruling day read, “Some of Min Hee Jin’s remarks caused physical and mental distress and worsened the working environment for Employee A.”

Public reaction to the appeal

As the news of the appeal came forward, netizens have been coming forward to express their disdain over the matter. Many people commented that she should simply leave the issue and pay the fine rightfully. Another person commented, “If you lost even with seven lawyers, then you lost-lost. Shouldn’t you start by apologizing to the victim? “A third person’s comment about the matter read, “NewJeans or Min Hee Jin… They’re both the same, ignoring the court’s ruling.”

Min Hee Jin’s legal battle with her former company has been going on for more than a year after she was removed from her position as the CEO of the subsidiary.
