HYBE speaks out against the accusations against Bang Si Hyuk regarding the difference in treatment with the girl group NewJeans
This Wednesday, the 15th, another update on the case between HYBE became known to the public. Recently, the Ilgan Sports portal published an exclusive report detailing an email sent to HYBE by the parents of NewJeans members, where they claimed that the agency was ignoring its responsibilities regarding the subsidiary record label ADOR.
In particular, the email stated that Bang Si Hyuk, founder of HYBE, purposely ignored the girl group when they greeted him, which generated a lot of criticism. Check out part of the report below:
Even if you don’t recognize NewJeans members, it’s just a matter of basic politeness to accept someone’s greeting when they say hello to you first. It is so hard?
As parents, we were embarrassed, and had nothing to say about this children’s situation after hearing that it was not just one or two times that they were deliberately avoided (…) They are just elementary and middle school students.
South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported that a HYBE employee responded to the parents’ accusations, saying that Bang SI Hyuk could have “face blindness”. But when the outlet reached out to HYBE for a response, the company said it would not respond. When asked specifically about the president’s ignoring of NewJeans members, the company again gave a vague response, saying, “It’s difficult to answer.”
