The February 2026 Dispatch Report
On February 26, 2026, Dispatch published a lengthy report detailing Min Hee Jin’s alleged plans regarding NewJeans and ADOR. The article included what appeared to be a Messenger conversation between Min Hee Jin and Danielle’s mother.
The published chat log reportedly showed the two discussing strategies to build a narrative that “NewJeans and ADOR cannot work together”. The conversation included references to ComplexCon and discussions about psychological pressure.
The Police Investigation
Following the publication, a netizen filed a police complaint against Dispatch. The complaint alleged that Dispatch violated the Personal Information Protection Act by making private chats public.
According to the police report shared online, investigators determined that:
- The messages were not real conversations between Danielle’s mother and Min Hee Jin
- The content was reconstructed based on interview materials and reporting notes, presented as if it were an actual chat log
The police report stated that the material was “a reconstruction of conversational content made from unnamed tips and reporting notes”.
The “No Indictment” Decision
Despite confirming the fabricated nature of the chat log, police did not forward the case to prosecutors. This means no criminal charges were pursued against Dispatch for the incident.
The decision not to indict appears to be based on the finding that the reconstructed chat did not constitute a violation of personal information protection laws, as it was not considered actual private correspondence.
Why It Matters
Impact on Public Opinion
The February 2026 Dispatch report came at a critical time, following Danielle’s removal from NewJeans. The published chat log significantly shaped public perception of the situation, portraying Danielle’s mother and Min Hee Jin as actively working together against ADOR.
The police report now suggests that this narrative was built on fabricated evidence.
Questions About Dispatch’s Credibility
Dispatch is one of Korea’s most prominent entertainment news outlets, known for its exclusive reports and celebrity dating reveals. This incident raises serious questions about the outlet’s editorial standards and fact-checking processes.
A social media user commented: “They made such a huge fuss, acting like they’d obtained actual Telegram chat logs and spamming every online community with that transparent ‘aristocratic grandfather’ narrative, only to get reported for privacy violations and then turn around and admit, ‘Actually, we were lying…'”
Fan Reactions
Fans have expressed outrage over the alleged fabrication, with many calling for legal action against Dispatch. Some have also pointed fingers at HYBE, suggesting the company may have been involved in the misleading report.
One fan wrote: “I hope they both sue the sorry-arsed dispatch for defamation and spreading fabricated information”.
What’s Next?
Potential Legal Action
While the police did not forward the case to prosecutors, Danielle, her mother, or Min Hee Jin could potentially pursue civil defamation lawsuits against Dispatch. No such legal action has been officially announced at this time.
Impact on Danielle’s Reputation
For Danielle, who was removed from NewJeans amid the controversy, the police report represents a significant development. If the chat log was indeed fabricated, it calls into question the narrative that contributed to her departure from the group.
