The real story behind the sensational headline "Min Hee-jin tried to take NewJeans and leave" has been revealed. The true nature of what has been known as the "tampering allegations" was not a betrayal by NewJeans or CEO Min Hee-jin, but rather an elaborate "stock manipulation scam" orchestrated by market manipulation forces. 'The Gate' analyzed over ten instances of false disclosures and patterns characteristic of pump-and-dump schemes, and compiled a fact-check format account of how former CEO Min became not the "architect" but the "prey."

The Essence of the Case: The essence of this situation is not Min Hee-jin's tampering or betrayal, but rather a 'retaliatory self-made drama' staged by manipulation forces who attempted to commit fraud by exploiting the name 'NewJeans' to make money through stock price manipulation, and then lashed out after failing.
The Reality of the Conspiracy: The manipulation forces deceived the member's family to arrange a meeting with former CEO Min, then made false disclosures portraying this brief meeting as if it were a 'confirmed investment' to artificially inflate the stock price and steal money from retail investors.
Background of the Allegations: When former CEO Min drew a clear line saying "I have nothing to do with them" and the stock price plummeted, it is strongly suspected that the scammers fabricated and reported a 'fake tampering scenario' to evade their criminal responsibility and seek revenge.
