HYBE angered both Kpop and Blackpink like 'bees breaking the hive', 2 groups 'tearing' each other?

HYBE became the focus of controversy as well as received a lot of criticism from the public after the "Music Industry Report" was revealed during a comprehensive national audit by the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Accordingly, HYBE Group's internal documents contain many critical comments about idols inside and outside the company, fraudulent album sales, and suspected plagiarism,... and there are still many issues that have not been clarified.

On October 29, HYBE CEO Lee Jae Sang officially acknowledged the existence of this document and apologized. At the same time, it promises to contact each company to apologize to the artists mentioned in this report.

Notably, Mr. D - an official in the entertainment industry said that HYBE has not made any move to apologize to the artists named in the internal report: "They (HYBE) said that they would contact each company to apologize, but until yesterday no party has received contact. It seems that they want to avoid it because this is a difficult issue to verify."

Sharing from HYBE: "As the CEO of HYBE, I would like to apologize for HYBE's monitoring document.

This document was created through the process of gathering various public reactions and opinions on industry trends and issues. It is only shared with certain leaders for the purpose of understanding market opinion and artist fans, but the content of the document is extremely inappropriate.

In particular, we deeply regret and regret the situation of innocent artists and employees who are being misunderstood and harmed due to completely false suspicions about spreading negativity.

As the CEO of the company, I promise to thoroughly correct the mistakes of the past through deep introspection and consideration, and do my best for the healthy development of the K-pop industry by giving priority, respecting the rights and interests of all K-pop artists and fans. Thank you, HYBE CEO - Lee Jae Sang."

However, in a recently published article by CBS, many officials in the music industry expressed outrage at HYBE's noise of 'cooking' artists. Specifically, an official of the entertainment company said: "The artists know everything. We considered whether to respond because the artists internally were hurt and felt angry."

Regarding HYBE's more than 2,000-page internal report, recently a piece of information about BLACKPINK recorded in this document has caused a stir in the online community.

Specifically, HYBE's internal report mentions the YG group with the following content: " Lisa's appearance at the Crazy Horse concert in Paris has created a lot of controversy. While her goal may have been to assert her autonomy and power, the style of performance here, with its burlesque performances, has caused mixed reactions among some fans.

They thought that this image was too bold and difficult to match the original image of Lisa and BLACKPINK. In addition, the group's image was also significantly damaged because the members came to cheer for Lisa.

In addition, HYBE's report says EXO's Baekhyun learned from BTS's Jungkook. A part of the document written on July 26, 2023 mentioned Baekhyun and compared his livestream with BTS's Jungkook (belonging to HYBE). HYBE wrote: "It seems that he is worried because the team has not recovered as well as expected, and he must have been aware of his position shaking.

He even turned on a livestream at 7 a.m. to show fans doing stretches on the foam roller. He has always been known to be good at communicating with fans, but the fact that he shows such a natural image of himself is very difficult to deny that he does not refer to Jungkook."

According to the media, the new pages in HYBE's internal report continue to show that this group does not let many Kpop companies, Kpop idols, fandom, and even Kpop culture catch their eye.
