HYBE was circulating internal documents like this, criticizing other idols...

"The members debuted at an age where they were still ugly so none of them have the typical idol-like features.. (rest omitted)"

"Plastic surgery is too severe"

"There is a tendency to be exposed in relation to their appearance or sexual appeal"

"It's a little surprising that no one is pretty"

"00 (group name) Considering that everyone was shocked by their appearance when they debuted, I wonder if the aesthetic sense of SM has changed."

"The other members are surprisingly ugly"

• I said they were disgusting, they are truly disgusting, this is the most disgusting company I've ever seen wow

• (https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/144/0000996540) "In addition, it was confirmed that the report contained defamatory content about idols affiliated with HYBE and other companies on online communities and social networking services (SNS), as well as online viral strategies and response policies for such content." 

• The wording is so low-level that it sounds like something they would do in a chatroom

• Wow, these fucking bastards are even sexually harassing people

• How is it that there is no mention of music, vocals, albums, designs, music videos, etc. in the entertainment industry trend review report? It's surprising how they only criticize appearances.

• Their level is so miserable and vile that it's shocking

• There is no business ethics in there. Is this really a company?

• Does the person who wrote that have two eyes?? ㅋㅋㅋ Is there no mirror in HYBE?? ㅋㅋㅋ

• Those HYBE staff members were the ones spreading false rumours and relentlessly tormenting members on Gallery. Please, let's get out of there. There can't be any company as horrible as this. They pull every dirty trick in the book, even bulk-buying their own albums to manipulate the charts just to hit some ridiculous targets. This company is insane.

• Is this an internal report on industry trends? It's just malicious comments;; The criticism is especially severe towards the SM idols

• The level of the Girls DC Gallery is exactly like theirs.

• This is a report...? Wow, what kind of level is this

• But still, they are idols and people in the same industry, so why write like that?

• Are you crazy? What kind of industry trend analysis is that? It's just writing malicious comments.

• It's lower quality than Twitter.

• It seems like they have an inferiority complex towards SM... Why are they like that?

• Is HYBE criticizing ZB1's looks and SM's aesthetics? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ HYBE?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, this is the funniest thing they've done this yearㅋㅋㅋ HYBE, you guys are so shamelessㅋㅋㅋ Stop being a moral victory and look at realityㅋㅋㅋ

• No, don't think about marketing by turning around and criticizing others. Instead, do some research on what concept to take this time and what the current trends are in the music and album markets.

• It's really surprising how all the hints Min Hee-jin dropped during the press conference are coming together. She was telling the truth all along

• I guess I'll just joke around with everything except ADORㅋㅋㅋ

• This is too much chart manipulation, isn't it illegal?

• This is how album inflation happens ㅜㅜㅜㅜ In the end, if you push it like that, the damage will come back to the consumers.

• This is the first time I've seen such a messy company.

• And then they were talking about exemption from military service on Billboard?

• They need to investigate all of HYBE's albums and if they won any awards at the end of the year, they need to spit them all out.

• Look at this sajaegi ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• To be blunt, shouldn’t we be suspicious of everyone except NewJeans? Whether it's digital streaming or physical album sales, all of it. But anyway, it's the reality that those affiliated with HYBE are the ones who are getting swept up.

• We need to check if this 550,000 album sales of ILLIT are also being pushed out.

• So they just buy it and throw it away?

• They will be remembered as sajaegi enterprise, the greatest fraudulent enterprise of all time.

• It's seriously a sin to be destroying the K-pop market

• Does anyone really believe in HYBE idol's album sales?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• They talk about being number one on the music charts, but then they throw the albums away in the bathroom and on the streets.

• Ah, you're saying that HYBE bought it back on their own because the albums couldn't be pushed out??? Just for the sales record? How can you say that it was sold? If they sell it and buy it back and it's recorded as sales, you can't say it's real profit. 

• Min Hee-jin, who only says the right thing when she opens her mouth

• ㅋㅋㅋIt was really strange to see popularity without any substance ㅋㅎ I wondered who was buying these albums

• How many awards did they win by making records like this? It's a real sin against K-pop.

• And they're going to win awards at every awards ceremony and act like they are popular? Wow

• They kept downplaying NewJeans' achievements, mocking their direct streaming numbers and criticizing their performance in Japan, but it turns out their success was real, which is why they freaked out even more ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

• They are the evils, thugs and scammers of the entertainment industry. I can't trust any HYBE idol's performance in the future.
