Bang Si-hyuk’s Fatigue Shows After Multiple Controversies Surrounding HYBE

On May 28, during his first visit to South Korea, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, met with Bang Si-hyuk, the founder of HYBE, along with several leaders of South Korean conglomerates. This marked the first public appearance of Bang Si-hyuk since the heated conflict between Min Hee-jin and HYBE. Photos captured on his way to this significant event were released to the public.

Despite wearing formal attire consisting of a white shirt and black vest, Bang Si-hyuk appears less polished in the photos. This is due to the loose fit of his outfit, which is noticeable in close-up images. His disheveled appearance in these candid shots has also garnered attention, in contrast to his previous public appearances.

Due to this, Bang Si-hyuk’s well-being became a topic of concern among netizens. Some suggested that he should lose more weight for health purposes, while others theorized that his loose-fitting attire may be a result of stress-induced weight loss. Here are a few remarks from netizens:

From his appearance, it seems like he’s experiencing health problems. Perhaps it would be beneficial for him to lose additional weight.
Is he not feeling warm in that outfit?
Despite his clothes not fitting him properly, I believe he has already lost a significant amount of weight.

It is plausible that Bang Si-hyuk’s weight loss is a result of the stress caused by internal conflicts within the company.
