HYBE's Employees Raises Suspicions of ADOR's Alleged Use of Online PR Companies to Manipulate Public Opinion

 

On the HYBE employee board on Blind, an online community where only employees can post using their company email, posts related to these suspicions have been published.

One employee expressed concern, stating, "I heard they're now using online PR companies to manipulate public opinion. Suddenly, all sorts of company posts, especially those regarding remarks that CEO Min Heejin has previously made, are popping up. Are they manipulating public opinion? They say the online PR company specializes in public opinion manipulation. Is this really happening to us? Unless you're in the same industry, it's easy to believe everything. It's unfair."

In response, other employees commented, "Over the weekend, there were so many biased posts undermining HYBE on Blind that it was absurd. Thanks to them, the manipulation of public opinion seems to be successful, but it's terrible."

Another employee mentioned, "During the company audit, there was a conversation log from April about 'preparing for May's public opinion battle,' and it seems like they're now executing what was already prepared. They also claim that the law firm Sejong, which CEO Min Heejin is currently associated with, is skilled in public opinion warfare."

 On the contrary, there is a counter-argument suggesting that HYBE initiated the public opinion battle before CEO Min Heejin's press conference. It is known that these suspicions are also included in the ongoing audit by HYBE.

theqoo

-Is it possible that those employees think HYBE is working on manipulating public opinion because that's what they're always ordered to do?

-I didn't know I was an employee of an online PR company, wow

-Do those employees have time to post on communities like this now?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Yeah, HYBE posted hundreds of articles criticizing Min Hee-jin for three days straight, so shut up.

-These employees seem to don't do any work at all and spend their whole day scrolling online communities instead

-Hmm... Even if it was Min Hee-jin who did it... who started it first? 

-What are you talking about? Stop wasting your time and get to work.

-Seems like they think everyone does it just because they do it themselves.

-Because they do it themselves, they probably think others do too. Stop going on online communities and do some work.

-When the public opinion favors them, it's justified. But when it favors someone else, it's manipulation done by the company?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm curious about how those public opinion manipulation works, but if Min Heejin can do it, then any company can. 

-Hey, if you're going to pay, I'd love to leave a commentㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Am I doing unpaid labor?

Seventeen Woozi reveals the reason why 'Super' was titled 'Sun Wukong'

 

"Why is the title 'Sun Wukong' you might ask. In 2022, the members' passion and determination were admirable, but the situation among the members wasn't great. The vibe wasn't good. My friend felt the same way, and although I didn't talk about it outside, I also went through a lot of tough times, so it wasn't easy. I really wanted to overcome that. With so many bad things happening, I couldn't even be tactful. Because only bad things kept happening. I wanted to go back to where we were, thinking, 'If I don't get greedy, can't we just go back to the way things were?' But even as we prepared for the next album without being able to be tactful, I wanted to overcome everything. I wanted to be an hero so badly. You know how there are heroes who just rise up no matter what trials or crises they face. From my perspective, that was Sun Wukong. I hope we have the strength to rise again. Many people, even my closest friends, don't know the behind-the-scenes of this song, but I just wanted to overcome this like heroes. That's why I named it Sun Wukong. I had no choice but to be rebellious against the world. It was about wanting to be a hero who breaks through while lamenting the world. That's why I made Sun Wukong." 

They couldn't even finish singing Circles 


And now they can sing this song with a smile on their faces...

theqoo

-I'm really glad it turned out well ㅠㅠ

-Wow... was everyone having a tough time in '22?ㅠ

-How would it feel to win an award with a song made during the toughest time for oneself and one's team...ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Winning an award with a song like that must feel like a movie.

-For those who aren't Seventeen fans: They don't explain what the difficult times were in detail, just calmly mentioning that everyone had a hard time due to overlapping difficulties in '22.

-Seriously touching...

-I thought it was just a cool song, but it was a wish to become a hero during the weakest moment....

-How would it feel to receive an award with such a song ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I love Woozi and Seventeen so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-They're not the type to show their hardships, so when they do it really hits hard... This is the first time I've seen Seventeen crying so much... Everyone must have been in a lot of painㅠㅠ It's fortunate that they've overcome it.

-I don't know exactly what happened, but ultimately, the fact that the members overcame it together makes me tear up ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-It's really admirable to receive an award with that song. It's like seeing the light in the darkest moments !!!!!!!!!!!!

-Yeah, I'll be a Carat for life.

-Honestly, I didn't quite understand the context of Super - God of Music, but today I realized that Woozi was just incorporating Seventeen itself into the songs.....

-So that's why Woozi cried like that ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I'm relieved that it turned out well.

-I'm really thankful that Jihoon has recovered enough to share with us like this

-This seems to be the strength of self-produced idols. The song is the group, and the group is the song, and everything about the group is contained in the songs.

Min Heejin: Make sure to check how HYBE is promoting New Jeans this time

 She said that on 2:50


Despite achieving popularity with current views at 13.4 M...

HYBE usually posts a promotional Shorts on the day the music video is released. However, even though New Jeans' 'Bubble Gum' MV has surpassed 13M views, they haven't posted any Youtube Shorts about it. 

theqoo

-Min Heejin shouldn't leave...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ New Jeans might really sink like a stone under HYBE...

-This is just too much.

-Seriously, why are they doing this?ㅠㅠ

-It's so obvious how they've been treating Min Heejin and New Jeans. I'm worried that they'll just abandon New Jeans if Min Heejin leaves...

-I went to watch the music video to show my support this time, and I saw comments saying that New Jeans had hardly any shorts uploaded on HYBE's Youtube until now. Is that true? Even on Weverse Shop, New Jeans isn't featured prominently.

-Even with this much attention, they're not even pretending to care. I'm really worried about what will happen if there's no CEO to defend them.

-Just let them go, both New Jeans and Min Heejin.

-This shows how pathetic and petty inferiority and jealousy can be...

-I was curious, so I scrolled down to see how many New Jeans videos there were in their Youtube Shorts, and apart from two global audition videos featuring Minji, there were none... and those were actually Shorts for audition Shorts, not New Jeans' 

-It's so sad, really... All I can say is that I support themㅠㅠ

-Men can't distinguish between personal and professional matters when it comes to jealousy... it's gross.

-This is really too much...

-Don't they know how to distinguish between personal and professional matters? It's really too much.

-I'm really worried about how New Jeans will be treated if Min Heejin leaves, it's really concerning.

-I checked their Youtube Shorts just in case, but there's only one for ETA teaser? Is this for real??

Han Sohee is like a corpse without her habit of 'blaming others' ... It would all end with just one certificate of acceptance

 

Actress Han Sohee seems to be a troublemaker regardless of circumstances. 

Back in March, when she broke up with Ryu Junyeol, she blamed others, seeming to point fingers at Ryu Junyeol for his indifferent attitude and Hyeri's "Isn't it fun?" comment. Now, she's blaming "Na Youngseok PD's editing" while raising suspicions about her academic background. Han Sohee seems oblivious to the fact that she's creating trouble for herself, both then and now. If it's not a lie, she could easily dispel all doubts by publicly disclosing her French university acceptance letter or DELF certificate. So why is she engaging in past disputes?

Furthermore, her agency 9ATO Entertainment, which claimed responsibility for managing Han Sohee, adds fuel to the fire. The agency stated to DongA.com, "It's true that she was accepted to a university. However, we cannot disclose specific details as it pertains to her personal life." If it's private, then we hope she refrains from discussing it on broadcasts.

Watching the video, it's Han Sohee herself who mentioned her acceptance to a French university and the specific amount involved. So what part was edited to make her claim it was "misrepresented"? It's a suspicion that could be resolved by simply providing documentary evidence, yet she's dragged Na Youngseok PD into the uproar.

theqoo

-Seriously, everything will be sorted out if she posted proof of her acceptance. But instead, she chose to blame the editing and now she ended up getting a lot of hate for no reason.

-If it's privacy that can't be disclosed, then she shouldn't talk about it on broadcasts. 

-It's really tiresome.

-I  have a question, not to defend her, but can you receive a certificate of acceptance? I've been accepted to an overseas school before but didn't go, but can I request that certificate of acceptance? Even if it's been a while? (I'm asking because I want it... I didn't save it back then...)

-There's no way there isn't any documentation to prove it

-She suddenly became an icon of disgrace

-When did Theqoo become a place for ridiculing and mocking each other?? Whether she got accepted or not, what's the point? Are people having fun driving someone to a corner like this?? I feel like everyone here has gone mad lately.

-Well said. When you make a mistake, just apologize. Why blame others and add lies upon lies? If you feel unjust, bring the certificate of acceptance. If you can't, please stop talking anymore.

-But people who have a habit of blaming others like that don't even realize that it's blaming others... they just feel unfairly treated all the time.

-Just say, "I misremembered the amount due to the passage of time, and I'm sorry for causing confusion due to incorrect information." Then everything would be over. 

-I'm not particularly interested in whether she got accepted or not, I even think she might have actually been accepted, but her handling of it seems really poor...

-Nobody even asked about it but she started talking weirdly on her own, which raised doubts among international students, so why is she blaming editing now? I don't get it.

When Asked About BTS' "Sajaegi" Verdict, HYBE Responses, "We Already Clarified Our Position in 2017"

 

"We have expressed our position on this matter in 2017."

On the afternoon of the 29th, Pen & Mike asked HYBE about various suspicions recently raised against HYBE and BTS. HYBE stated, "Aren't these allegations currently spreading online communities or some quarters?" They further stated, "Regarding that, we are observing the issues that are arising, and we have already issued a legal notice of denial yesterday."

Earlier that day, Sports Kyunghyang reported, "[Exclusive] Was BTS' Sajaegi a fact?... The court explicitly states 'Sajaegi'." Due to this report, suspicions surrounding HYBE are further spreading. When asked about this in relation to the above by the publication, HYBE responded, "We already expressed our position in 2017." At that time, HYBE actively denied the suspicions through a statement.

Meanwhile, the publication also asked another HYBE official about this matter, and the response was also, "It is all covered in our position in 2017."

theqoo

-They're shameless.

-They scammed the whole world.

-They should explain properly, what's this?

-Seems like the verdict is correct.

-The verdict must be correct.

-They couldn't even deny it properly.

-They're just trying to brush it off with word games.

-I knew it would be like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅆhere will never be a new statement.

-Either explain each point or do something, damn it.

-I mean, they should just confidently and clearly state their position. Why are they beating around the bush?

-Seems like they have nothing else to say.

-If they're innocent, they should actively clarify instead of constantly avoiding it and not even giving proper answers.

-It's already in the past, what can we do?

-Why aren't they saying anything? Their response is very vague.

-I really can't believe this situation... Wow..

-They'll never admit itㅋㅋㅋ

-Seeing from how they can't clarify, they must be really guilty
