HYBE Controversy

La polémique autour du « rapport sur les idoles » de HYBE s'intensifie avec l'implication de son président, Bang Si Hyuk.

The "Idol Report" case, revealing unfiltered comments about the appearance of K-pop idols, sparked major controversy after it was disclosed during a National Assembly audit session. Revealed on October 30 KST, it came to light that HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk had ordered the document to be distributed to top executives, raising further questions about accountability as Kang Myung Seok, former head of Weverse Magazine and author of the document, had been removed from his position the day before.

Des enregistrements d'e-mails obtenus par The Hankyoreh ont montré qu'en janvier 2022, Bang avait ordonné que le « Rapport Hebdomadaire sur l'Industrie Musicale III » soit partagé avec le rappeur ZICO, PDG de KOZ Entertainment, un label acquis par HYBE en 2020. Le rapport, distribué chaque semaine, était auparavant envoyé uniquement aux cadres supérieurs, indiquant que ZICO pourrait initialement avoir été exclu pour éviter le malaise.

Newly released emails from June 2023 revealed that Bang was managing the report’s recipients, with requests to add specific company executives. This direct involvement in document distribution suggests a level of oversight, making responsibility likely to become a public discussion point. HYBE has already removed Kang from his position, and CEO Lee Jae Sang issued an apology, acknowledging the inappropriate language used and the problematic content of the report.

HYBE s'est abstenu de tout commentaire supplémentaire au-delà de la déclaration de Lee, malgré l'augmentation du scrute sur le contenu du document, qui incluait des remarques négatives sur l'apparence des idoles et des commentaires inappropriés sur les idoles mineures.
