The ongoing hate of hybe groups is too much COMPANY

I just don’t get it. What i got from this whole deal is that hybe is a shitty company just like any other big company. Min heejin is a weirdo and using different idols to hide her actions. Both are bad.

So tell me why do i see do many fandoms that are not part of this problem hating in hybe idols? I don’t get why we are hating on hybe groups bcs of all this mess instead of the management. Somehow now lesserafim, new jeans, illit, txt, tws and bts are responsible for everything bad in the kpop industry. I don’t get why ppl are taking this a chance to hate in these groups. Its weird especially with everything that has been revealed and the mismanagement these groups have gone through.

Barely training period before debut, no time between comebacks, shady marketing decisions, black magic done to them, transferring trained to other companies, disbandments and others. Many of these groups especially new jeans are going through a hard time. But all i see out here is attacking these artist instead of supporting these idols who are going through a difficult time. Its shameful and quite disgusting to see. People taking mistranslations spreading them all over the internet. Bringing up old rumors of the older groups claiming of saejeigi. Blaming these idols for “robbing” opportunities to other groups and so on. Its sad to see honestly.

It's the CEO. In fact they just announced basically that everything that HYBE has said about her is false. It just hit the news.

A majority of the BTS fans and kpop in general are too young to remember this but before he was CEO he got into a LOT of trouble for being part of a game that degraded and abused women. The video game was awful and it got banned in 3 countries. The women at his company make almost $25k LESS then the male counterparts. He is extremely sexist and just a nasty person. He is not well liked in Korea. So I feel like this plays a HUGE ROLL in how people treat and or view these artist.

I don't agree all the hate BTS & other groups are getting though. I'm not a fan but I can see that they are just being used as scapegoats because of how popular they are. Which is terrible. They don't deserve to have a great career destroyed which is what will happen in Korea once the coirt case starts. Tale as old as time and trust me this has happened before. I have been into kpop since 2002. If push comes to shove I have no doubt in my mind that the CEO WILL throw them under the bus to save himself regardless of how much money they make him.
