HYBE who dug themselves their own grave when they released a response to Hanni's anecdote in the live yesterday

 [theqoo - hot] The decisive incident that caused the members of NewJeans to lose trust in HYBE was the 'personnel controversy' with the manager of HYBE's girl group 'ILLIT'

date: 12/09/2024

The decisive incident that caused the NewJeans members to lose trust in HYBE was the 'greeting controversy' with the manager of HYBE's girl group 'ILLIT '. The incident dates back to around three months ago in June. At the time, it was right after former CEO Min won her legal battle against HYBE. On the evening of the 11th, NewJeans member Hanni revealed in detail the situation at the time through a YouTube live broadcast, saying, "A singer's manager under HYBE told the members to ignore (her)." It appears that she was referring to the situation with ILLIT's manager.

Concerned about bullying within the company, NewJeans' parents informed ADOR and HYBE's executives of the issue at the time and requested discussions for a smooth resolution. However, the conflict was never resolved as the two sides had different interpretations of the 'greeting controversy'. HYBE's position was that after reviewing 7-8 minutes of CCTV footage capturing the situation, they found scenes of Hanni and the ILLIT members greeting each other, and no problematic remarks by the manager were detected.

The issue raised by NewJeans' parents was not made public within the company at the time due to insufficient evidence. However, the music industry believes that it is quite possible that a subtle 'emotional fight' could have unfolded between HYBE and former CEO Min, considering their past activities.

• Did they really fail to prepare properly this time? The level of this is just pathetic. You guys scream and talk about raising 'artists', but don't you just kick girls around and use them as scapegoats? From the beginning, it wasn't even clarified whether it was a girl or boy group in the first place. And what about CCTV security? You’re leaking this information while ignoring security protocols. What’s the reason for putting in so much effort to bring down the top girl group from your own label, especially when they’re minors? Is it really just because you don’t like them and they make you feel bad? Is that really enough to treat the top girl group in the company this way?

• Is HYBE just using their own singers as shields? It's ridiculous that they put up the name of ILLIT there

• They always use unnecessary words to put up their artist as shields and have fans fight instead of themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ HYBE's actions are always the same

• NewJeans members also intentionally didn't reveal it so that no one would get criticized, but HYBE immediately pulled out ILLIT as a shield.

• I expected this to be the group manager, and it really was...

• ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If there was audio on the CCTV, then that’s an even bigger problem. Claiming that the CCTV footage doesn’t have the manager’s voice and therefore saying it’s not true is ridiculous. It actually confirms that Hanni’s recollection of the situation is accurate.

• HYBE is going too far, using their affiliated singers as shields..

• The manager told them to ignore her, so tell us the manager's name

• The most annoying thing is that they said to Hanni that there was no evidence and that it was too long ago, then they watched the CCTV among themselves? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're also so f*king stupid to use ILLIT as a shield, they're revealing the whole truth

• If you read that, it seems like it was a story from when CEO Min was still there, but they said that they told the new CEO, not just once or twice.

• It's really ugly to see them use these children as shields.

• The girls told the new CEO so why are they talking about June?

• HYBE really has no intention of protecting artists. They throw this as a shield for these young idols to be cursed at, and then hide behind them??

• Why are they revealing something that the person in question didn't even say??? This company is so frustrating. They really don't think about their idols at all.

• It's always like this, they just leave it at that and lead it into a fandom fight... In the end, the essence will be blurred and only malicious comments will overflow. It's just too much.

• It's the manager's fault. Why did he instigate bullying and conflict within the company like that? Why are grown adults doing that?

• Because it's CCTV, of course there's no sound... What are they talking about?

• Wow.. NewJeans didn't reveal the name of the idol group because they were afraid of causing trouble, but their agency straight up revealed it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• It seems like the executives from these gaming companies see young girl idols not as people but as game characters. Is it really right for middle-aged adults to use these kids as bait in public opinion battles? NewJeans and ILLIT are both groups of teenagers in their late teens; they deserve some protection and respect. I’m genuinely not a fan of anyone and was just someone who was tired of Min Hee-jin and HYBE's issues, but seeing HYBE’s response has been so appalling that I sincerely hope the company crashes and burns.

• It really makes me sick to my stomach that those ugly old men are trying to create public opinion by picking fights by only mentioning young girls and leaving out their own names. It's not just rude, it's an insult and an attack to only mention group names and unnecessary things when Hanni has already said everything during her live broadcast.

• Wow, this is amazing. These guys really care more about their company's image than their artists...

• It's fucking crazy to see those crazy old men throwing young girls around.

• How is the statement confirmed on CCTV? CCTV that records sound is illegal ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's true that it can't be confirmed, but that doesn't mean that the manager didn't tell them not to greet her. It's so weird, HYBE's media manipulation is f*king weird
