That’s quite the representative lineup… A lot of them are from the game industry, so it’s no wonder they don’t know anything about the entertainment industry
This is the reason why HYBE continues to make irresponsible decisions and causing trouble. When will they finally realize their mistakes?
HYBE needs to stop tarnishing K-pop
Ah, it’s no wonder why the corporation is extremely greedy and yet utterly incompetent then
This is the reason why they struggle to comprehend the idol industry.
