Bang Si Hyuk's Involvement in Internal Reports

In a stunning series of developments surrounding the ongoing tensions between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, recent reports have emerged revealing the significant involvement of HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk in controversial internal documents that have caught the industry's attention.

An exclusive investigation by Ilgan Sports claims that these internal reports were deeply influenced by Bang, raising eyebrows across the K-Pop landscape.

Details from the Insider

On October 31, Sports Seoul published details about an insider known simply as 'K,' who was instrumental in the creation of the nearly 2,000-page long report.

Allegations suggest that this document, crafted under Bang Si Hyuk's direction, could have a seismic impact on the industry if leaked.

The insider claims that Bang's influence over 'K,' whom he has known since their days at JYP Entertainment in 2005, led to the creation of materials that blur the lines between objective journalism and subjective opinion.

Criticism from Min Hee Jin

However, the reports’ content has come under fire, particularly from Min Hee Jin.

During a recent interview, she confirmed her ongoing concerns over the apparent biases in the reports authored by 'K.'

In an email sent on April 16 to HYBE executives, Min expressed her strong objections, stressing that the reports presented 'biased and partial content.'

She demanded a more objective approach, emphasizing the necessity for factual integrity in the metrics used.

Company Response and Future Implications

In the wake of the uproar, HYBE's current CEO, Lee Jae Sang, issued an apology on behalf of the company, acknowledging the oversight regarding the documents and the issues they presented.

He stated that they have now 'halted the creation of future documents' in response to the backlash, highlighting the growing scrutiny HYBE faces amid this unfolding saga.

As this situation continues to develop, the K-Pop industry watches closely, aware that the ramifications might extend even further than anticipated.
