Min Hee Jin appeared before the press once again on February 25 in Seoul, addressing the outcome of her first-trial lawsuit against HYBE.
But beyond the legal updates, it was her outfit that quickly became a hot topic after Korean media linked it to BTS‘s V.
The former ADOR CEO wore a black blazer layered over a white Celine T-shirt. The fashion choice immediately caught attention because the BTS star has been a global ambassador for the luxury brand for years.
V is widely considered the face of Celine.
He is often seen wearing the simple white Celine-branded Tee.
The timing raised eyebrows. During the first trial, private messages exchanged between Min Hee Jin and V were submitted as court evidence. According to reports, V had commented that even he thought certain plagiarism claims seemed “similar.”

After the messages became public, V clarified on social media that the conversation was private and that he had no intention of taking sides. He also expressed discomfort that it was used without his consent.
