No More HYBE in 2025? South Korean Critics POINT OUT Bang Si Hyuk's Biggest Mistake 

Company's stan are the worst type of kpop fan.

HYBEs greed will be their downfall.😔

Tbh im so confused with the people who stan companies instead of actual groups💀

Im gonna be honest, hybe deserves to be gone (not the ggs and bgs)

I don't care what happens to hybe. I just need the groups to survive. If any of them disband because of these people, I'll cry my heart out for them.

free seventeen. i dont want newbies to associate them with hybe

gfriend after finding out abt their disbandment was bc of a group of girls more concerned with their abs than their vocals: 💀💀

International fans watched all that kdrama just to defend the big bad conglomerate anyway 🤡🤡🤡

let’s be honest the ones that are in risk are the artist not the companies. I’m worried for the ggs and bgs and what it means for them in the future.

GFRIEND 100% DISBANDED BECAUSE OF HYBE. I remember saying this at the time when gfriend disbanded. My blindsighted friends who are obsessed with bts denied this.

before MHJ was fired there's talk of Newjeans world tour but now hybe is talking of Newjeans going on hiatus for at least 1yr 6mths? is hybe giving Newjeans the fromis_9 treatment? fcuk hybe!!!😡😡😡

LMAO. you have no idea how satisfied I am right now. I remember Army kept praising BigHit. "oh.. we have only 1 artist to focus on. they get treated so much better than those companies who can't manage so many groups." Fast forward to today HYBE has become exactly what those stans were shading. When you expand and become so big there is bound to have problems all around. And Bang PD is consumed by greed and power. I knew it was only a matter of time before they get exposed for all the shadiness they do and hide.

Let go of Pledis please. Seventeen would have thrive more on its own!

the "international fans" supporting Hybe is literally a bunch of delulu armys

Hybe deserves it. Several groups ( seventeen,fromis_9,gfriend,and new jeans) were treated wrong.

Everyone who is on HYBE's side can only say "well she didn't give up the laptop yet". Like.... no offense but I wouldn't want to give up a laptop with MY ideas for past, present, and future groups to a greedy man who has already stolen my and other peoples' ideas to build themselves up. I get the legality of the issue, but I understand her side too. HYBE doesn't have to give her anything, but she has to give them everything.

Hybe knows how some armies stan the agency itself just for bts, thats the reason why they made that claim that MHJ said 'hybe copied her to make bts'. The fact that ppl are believing this nonsense and attack MHJ further makes me speachless. Edit: some ppl in the comment section are still saying that MHJ uses shamans to 'destroy' other groups. BYE-💀

I have the theory that Hybe wanted to destroy SM, they took her out of SM that way they could see it bleed out. They did not care about her at all, they just had the goal of demolishing SM

I mean I don't mind! All the labels under it are totally capable of being on their own! I am a Seventeen Stan so I am gonna be really happy!!!

Bang shi hyuk lost my respect that he had as BTS’s producer. It was pretty mush apparent that he and Hybe was trying to separate NewJeans from Min Hee Jin. He has no other intention but to Kill Newjeans. Whenever there is an issue, they always bring up BTS and a hide behind their name tag. Stop using BTS, BTS was built by the members hard work and us Armies, not you!

RM and Coups better make their own companies together and it's ironic how this went from a joke to being a real thing that everyone wants....

In Instagram..... mostly ARMY are defending this man and accusing MHJ for everything....... So blinded. Bang shi hyuk is no more the Bang shi hyuk we know

Its is true that MHJ does not "own" NewJeans concept but purposely debuting another girl group so close to them with virtually no difference, is clearly BSH trying to take down and undermine a woman/impactful and powerful ceo and creator. SHAME

KPOP is better before Bighit turning into HYBE that keep rushing to debut a new group each year with idol that can't even sing live.

What’s happening to her is so sad. This just goes to show that capitalism and greed is what’s ruining the industry. This poor woman is being intimated by a huge company. I hope that she’s doing okay and I’m happy she has support. This international fan here is on her side.

Glad she shows public hybe real side We are with min heejin

Everyday I thank God that KQ stood their ground and told HYBE to f off cuz this is crazy.

just signing with scooter braun knowing his past is soooo weird

What Bang Hippo did: 1. hires the best creative in the field 2. meticulously studies her process 3. steals her ideas and creates a dupe 4. succeeds 5. *smear campaign* 6. fires creative for no valid reason so they have full control of both groups Now NJ are set for a “long holiday” confirmed by there parents?? Let’s support our girls this comeback as I fear this might be last or along time we won’t see them again. All because of HYBE is satisfied with their NJ clone and they have infinite amount of resources to make it happen.

Idol business is lucrative and Bang PD milked it in every possible way. Kpop is not Kpopping anymore. I missed the days where it was all about the music and dance and singing. Now it's all about visuals and ranking and hate train.. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 Time to graduate from Kpop.

I'm a carat and a seventeen stan. I would be really happy if this is true. Let HYBE and Bang Shiyuk be ruined. It's a fact that the intention for building this HYBE Label was bad at the first place.

HYBE totally deserves this but not their artists!

I missed the old days when it was just BIGHIT entertainment and especially there old Bighit intro but money Greed and power has changed HYBE like it dose to most companies I just wish that one day we have the old BIGHIT back

If there was a way Ador could branch themselves from HYBE, that would be awesome. Newjeans deserve better.

I am an international fan and I have always supported Min Hee-Jin.

It's so sad that the actual issue of illit and NJ is getting avoided by bringing up the BTS issue.

I really feel bad for the Newjeans and illit they are just minors ...❤❤❤

Bang Si Hyun suddenly reminds me of Kim Jong Un.

Thank god., I just want all this to get sorted and Newjeans to come back strongly

I remember when Hybe started to acquiring entertainment labels and Hybe stans started to become defensive when anyone mentioned how Hybe was creating a monopoly in the industry....

I really feel bad for the groups honestly...I just hope they won't go down

Yooooooooooooooo, never thought I'd see such a turn that hybe is actually being brought down and Min Hee Jin isn't lying ☠️

This is what happens when companies forget their foundational values and become greedy. The groups, unfortunately, are gonna suffer for the conglomerate being insufferable and greedy.

Hybe is so greedy

Idc if hybe gone but please don’t disappear enhypen and txt 😭

Bye bye abusive and controlling hybe. It was nice till it lasted🙂. - Fans 😂

What I don't get is how does the Korean government allow a company to become almost a monopoly? How is it fair competition? Then again the government is controlled by these monopolies such as Samsung...

Min Hee Jin FIGHTING!!💪💪💪

What do you know about doing an audit, have you ever being audited, let me tell you, they get really personal also what that employer said does not make sense an auditor would not tell you not to go to the police, you people are dying to see the downfall of a company that you claim to like the artists they have on their roster. Who goes into business not to make money, who put money into a venture and do not expect returns, when you work, do you do it for free, so what is this hypocrisy about can you you live your daily lives without funds, this woman calls a press conference and the questions asked she has not answered, go watch it again and tell the truth. Everybody wants to be a journalist but you bloggers need to leave your agendas outside of your analysis

please don't use bts members or any other idols as a click bite. It has nothing to do with any of them.

I’ve been telling many that being greedy and trying to reach high really fast won’t be good. Cause when you are at the top where you want to be, what the heck will you do? Everything is “stable” and starts falling apart

Kookielit give us a break...your channel is so paid... Clicking off!👋

Bang Shi Hyuk Needs To Step Down!

Tbh hybe deserves to be gone

Whether Min Hee Jin is a criminal or not, I actually feel SO bad for her. She is now known to be as a joke in Korea and the feeling of being faced by a billion dollar conglomerate like HYBE must be beyond scary. I would just shit in my pants and not even try to defend myself if I were her. What she is doing takes up A LOT of guts. Also, I'm not 100% sure if the HYBE PR Team is responsible for the bad press around Min Hee Jin, but if they are shame on them.

Neither side is innocent in this. A millionaire fighting with a billionaire 🙄Also what is her end game she can’t stay as CEO after all this. I mean if they don’t fire her now they will just wait until things are quieter and than fire her. She just manages Ador, HYBE is the majority owner.

Toxic army is spoiling internet

Honestly, I always thought that Nu'est would have not disbanded if they did not shift under hype. I mean....they finally got really popular again .

Monopolizing the kpop industry by Hybe - is not a good idea.

KOOKIELIT tries to blame international fans so much that they forget some people support MHJ, some are on the fence and some just wait for the end results.

I'm so surprised from the comments section. I know hybe is extremely bad but mhj is not a saint too. That woman is shady asf . And these people who are supporting her today were the same ones who used to call her a pedo earlier. Today some of her disgusting chats came out ( it was the evidence which was going to be shown in the court but mhj's lawyer had objected ). Maturity is when you release that you should not take any sides because both the parties are horrible and shady.

I'm over with this issue. I just wish GFRIEND would reunite and comeback. F*** Lesseraphim and F*** Hybe

RIP gfriend. every single one of y'all deserved better.

Hybe literally destroy kpop

I feel bad for the artist but Im also happy that hybe as a company is having a bad time. This is Karma for what hybe and source music did to Gfriend.

he seems shady.

Remember when Tae said Bang Si Hyuk used to ignore his existence during initial days?? Seems like dude has a pattern of making people who he doesn't support feel outcasts.

All the ggs and bgs should be away from this , they are artist on thire own not because of company , I was company Stan but things they have done has made me realise this , and I’m wishing and hoping best for Min hee Jin , new jeans and all ggs and bgs . And Bts armys , as much I understand but we have to support what is truth. And don’t react untill the truth.

Creating Hybe was the worst mistake ever I miss Bighit, the old intro to songs 😢

Min Hee Jin hwaiting.

if people defend hybe, big hit and bang si hyuk saying its an attack against BTS, are you guys minimizing BTS' efforts? That they are made by their staff and not their own talents and hard work? More like, isn't it BTS that made hybe, big hit?

7:59 apparently your team is incapable of reading the statistics used in your own video, as if you would take a closer look at the data shown at 6:37 you could have seen that Source Music (Le Sserafim) are also profitable (looking at Enhypen's numbers, I believe that BeLift, who are not shown here, also operate on a profit). Also good job discrediting fromis_9 from Pledis' profits (that mainly stems from SVT, ik). If you would now look at the data shown in 6:45 you could see that most subsidiaries shown here are not labels, but software and management agencies that have no or expanding products in their portfolio atm. The only labels that operated on a loss were KOZ and Hybe Labels Japan as they debuted their groups in 2023, and funnily enough ADOR also operated on a loss in 2022 when they debuted NewJeans. I know you guys are trying to push your agenda of HYBE as the devil and MHJ as the messiah for whatever reason, but maybe try to reach that conclusion on something more based in reality ;)

We want Bang PD and Scooter Brown out of Hybe

It all started with lesserafim and ended up here💀

International fans are wary of Miss Min because we all know how a Korean drama ends.

I am not a hybe stan, but get your facts checked before blabbing here, ILLIT's investment amount is not 150B Won. Belift's full share ownership costed that amount. You say people stan agency instead of the artist, while you stan MHJ instead of NwJns yourself. Don't pick sides before the court verdict comes out.

Team min heejin🥷

GFriend didn't know they were disbanding? Oh, damn... never knew that

Hybe literally dug their own grave. This agency is straight up shit. I hope the best for the Artists. I want them to be okay.

I hate hybe! I hate their greediness, and surely, I hate toxic armies who blindly defend that greedy label.

Blind Hybe stans are very much hated by everyone.

Stop saying “international fans” that’s probably international army..me as international fans im on mhj side..

Who is not a korean kpop fan but sports min hee jin ❤❤

ngl idc about the drama i am just scared cuz my most of my ults r in hybe..

I just hope she has concrete evidence for all the stuff she’s saying cus otherwise she is digging a grave for her own career. All the emotional stuff and tears.. i get it but it doesn’t matter. Yes she’s up against this big bad wolf all on her own but it’s not like she’s completely innocent too. So if she wants to prove and change something she needs evidence. Otherwise they’re just going to rip her to shreds.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine is that this video is extremely biased. Niether side is innocent in this whole thing.

it's true, HYBE was too greedy

As a former ARMY, a male fan of BTS, I ever admired Bang Si Hyunk as a head creator of BTS. But, on these recent years, I don't get that delightful and crystal clear vibe from him anymore. He just became money and power hungry evil. So scary.

Not many are worshipping HYBE but yall sound like a bunch of emotional teenagers that dont know how business works. Kpop has always been a business. Artists need a label. The label supplies the producers, stylist, concept, trainees, choreo, touring and on and on. You cannot get a group or artist off te ground without a team of people working. Its incredibly dumb to think a group can just dussolve their contracts and up and leave. Like dafaq? 😮 Where is fifty fifty? 😂 thats right...sitting at home with their parents😮😮😂😂 new jeans will end up like them if they arent careful!!

Ive been telling everyone since day one that this happened that MHJ is being framed by HYBE....but some people really simp for a big company machine 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm glad you made a video on this, because I've been seeing so many ignorant comments from newbies not understanding that Big Hit became HYBE. Like to them HYBE just suddenly appeared with Big Hit under it. Such delulu children. Edit: Looking at that earnings report, expect BOYNEXTDOOR to disband by next year. KOZ is Zico's sublabel with them. (They might even cut the label entirely.) HYBE America is promoting them hard, too. You can't walk into Target without their and ILLIT's MVs being advertised.

Thank you. All these so called international K-pop fans (esp indo) talk as if they know Korea lol

As an International fan, I can officially say that I'm on Min He Jin's side

LET GO OF PLEDIS AND LET ALONE SEVENTEEN WORK AND EARN FOR THEMSELVES. THEY DON'T NEED ANYONE FROM HYBE. BANG SHIYUK JUST WANT TO EARN MONEY FROM SEVENTEEN. THAT'S ALL.

let's all be honest, a big part of korea still sees women as inferior to men, it might've been one of the factors to the feud idk

Look, Hybe is very shady, but this is not an unbiased view of the situation. This completely ignores the facts of MHJ's contract. She had an extremely generous contract, so much so that people are throwing around the theory of her being in a relationship with Bang as a way of explaining it. She was given way more percentage of control than other Hybe execs, allowed to buy millions in company shares that she could cash in on in two years (and if she couldn't find a buyer that Hybe would agree to, they would buy the shares back at full market value), and she had the gall to ask for more-more ownership over Adore and full control over hiring and firing artists without say from Hybe and the board of directors (which she was denied)-which many think was the first step in her plan to extract NJ from Hybe. This video is falling for her manipulations right along with the Korean public and trying to make her into some sort of feminist hero?! Its really insulting and is just completely ignoring the facts of the case. If she is guilty of what she is being accused of she is going to JAIL! Because its fraud. Her press conference was a big cry fest but she presented no evidence or defence that she was innocent. She just cried a few crocodile tears and suddenly she is an underdog and not the multi millionare with a scary amount of power in a big company. A company that she was planning to illegally devalue so she could get what she wanted.

No one is trying to destroy MHJ and I take umbridge with efforts to paint her as some kind of (female) corporate hero against the “big bad” HYBE. Whistleblower? Victim? Give over! She is no femininst hero / role model - I see no evidence of her uplifting women or women’s issues. What I did see was a grown woman use a press conference to do everything BUT answer the pertinent questions of the day such as “why did you not hand over your laptop to auditors when requested?” Instead, she used the opportunity to heavily criticise two rookie (female) groups - LeSserafim and Illit - as well as make shady comments about the aesthetics of one of her group’s members. I am no corporate apologist but from what I can see / understand what HYBE appears to be doing is trying to hold her to account per her contractual obligations, obligations she willingly entered into, is bound by and handsomely paid for. If she broke her contract then she deserves to be punished and if she broke the law then she is liable and equally deserves punishment. Why is HYBE wrong for pursuing that when they bankrolled this woman to the tune of billions of Won and ensured her trainees did not incur trainee debt but were instead paid a seven figure sum in their first year? I do not see why HYBE or any corporate entity for that matter should roll over because someone decides the rules should no longer apply to them. Reading these comments I really question the mentality and maturity of people nowadays. My goodness!

I once said it "hybe's downfall will be greed, and it's speed to enter the western market." Anyway, as long as its downfall doesn't affect the idols. 😅😅😅 Also, reading the article that Bang PD never responded to New Jeans greetings but that weird response from his PR "Bang might be having face blindness " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Wish you a successful WIN, Min Hee Jin 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is a mess, and hybe looks like a bully. This is definitely bringing negative attention to their company. I hope despite them having more money they don’t destroy her and new jeans, and this is from someone who is not even a fan of theirs.

this is wild. its hybe's fault, just because newjeans wasnt on their management and were so popular, their greed and pride acted up
