Netizens Criticize HYBE’s Reputation for Not Issuing an Apology

HYBE’s Reputation Under Fire Again Amidst Controversy

The recent discussions on the popular Korean forum, “theqoo”, have once more spotlighted criticisms directed at HYBE for its ongoing issues and handling of sensitive internal documents. Despite multiple court decisions favoring the agency, a significant number of netizens continue to express their dissatisfaction, accusing the company of not tackling the underlying problems or extending apologies to those affected.

Hybe Reputation Still Slammed by Netizens

Critical Reactions to Ongoing Issues

One contentious post, titled “Why HYBE’s reputation is still in the gutter, ” highlighted troubling findings from internal documents that revealed disparaging remarks about other artists. The lack of an apology from HYBE has only exacerbated public outrage.

Netizens Respond to the Controversy

In response to the ongoing discourse, fans and critics alike have flocked to the forum, with many arguing that supporters of HYBE have attempted to downplay the issue by referencing recent legal outcomes, particularly a ruling concerning NewJeans. Below is a selection of public comments reflecting this sentiment:

I can’t stand this company.
HYBE, HYBE stans, and Bang Si-hyuk are obviously still messed up and they won’t improve in the future.
The court ruling in favor of HYBE does not erase their previous misdeeds, especially since they haven’t apologized for them. Fans need to stop using this as a platform to spout nonsense.
There are still many victims suffering, so this is not the time to elevate HYBE’s reputation.
Putting the NewJeans issue aside, I find it alarming that HYBE maintained these documents in the first place. Why do they even collect such questionable information?
People need to stop seizing this chance to praise HYBE.
Min Hee-jin, NewJeans, and HYBE should be removed from the industry; they need to face the consequences and apologize to their victims.
Seeing individuals defend a company engaged in victim-blaming infuriates me.
Hasn’t this company committed negative viral marketing against NewJeans? What did the court conclude on that matter?

Demand for Accountability and Genuine Apologies

While the court has ruled in favor of ADOR (part of HYBE) regarding an injunction against NewJeans, public dissatisfaction remains prevalent. There is a growing call for accountability, transparency, and most crucially, a heartfelt apology from the agency towards the artists affected by various controversies.
