Hybe doesn’t care about the fans or its artists. They care about money. That’s it.

[@Rakaylamcchristian3]

so true

[@Hyu_yi]

Tbh that’s how most companies work…

[@Hxnnification]

Agreed

[@Katycat232]

including paying for their promotion, they got thousands of producers to work on the music and hire idols to create groups in mass to make money and mainstream concepts. Nothing is unique as it used to be back when it was Big Hit with only BTS and TXT. Now, all their groups all becoming mainstream with no originality (or a marketed biased originality just to sell albums to teens).

The problem is that the fans will still pay for crazy tickets and still support it and the artists will remain quiet about it. They went from social justice and respect to lets make money at any means necessary. And what Hybe is doing with the girl groups is sad, those poor girls need more training but are being thrown to the wolves unprepared.

[@faithochem2202]

You guys keep getting it wrong. It is not solely Hybe's fault or responsibility. The respective companies and agencies of these idols are to be held responsible for the vocal training and other basic factors regarding the welfare of these idols as they are the ones in charge of such things. For the millionth time ,HYBE IS NOT JUST A COMPANY , it is a music label that has certain music agencies/companies as subsidiaries under it and these companies include Big hit entertainment ( mamamoo , txt , bts ) , ADOR (new jeans) , Pledis ( not sure but I think le sserafim ) , Source music , BELIFT LAB and so on. I know HYBE has been getting involved in a lot of shady stuff lately which they definitely should be held accountable for but still do your research before commenting so that you don't end up blaming them for things that they shouldn't be blamed for. I know that HYBE still has a little part to play in the welfare of these idols since they are kind of the higher ups, but still just to an extent and not fully. It's just like blaming KAKAO for everything that Star ship does to their idols.

HYBE artists don't come to Europe anymore, and the reason is that they can't up the price for concert tickets by demand as they do in the US. It's illegal here in Europe. So when HYBE sees that they can't make money, they don't send their artists here. Sure, Seventeen is coming for a couple of festivals, but it's not a tour. One of the festivals was even sold out before Seventeen was announced as a performing artist. It's a show to try to make the fans happy, giving us little breadcrumbs to try to please people. TXT is also coming, but again, it's a festival. HYBE hasn't announced dates for Enhypen's upcoming tour in Europe, and I don't think they will either.

[@yoshimylittlechab]

that's why most of their artists dont come to Europe usually.. they're obsessed with us and dollar

this was the reason i started the boycott in 2022, it's like we buy and buy and they dont care about us in europe, i stopped buying cuz why should i support an artist i cant even have the opportunity to see?? then with the gaza situation im continuing to boycott for multiple reasons

Recently I checked out TXT´s official merch website out of curiosity. When I saw they were selling signed versions of their newest mini-album I was considering buying it if the shipping wasn´t too expensive. Lo and behold, only people with an US address could buy it. Can´t have shit in Portugal ;_; .I checked their non-signed albums and several of them also said US only, for whatever reason. Although not Hybe related, I have a crazy story about SM too. On the same day I checked out SM´s official website out of curiosity. NCT Dream´s newest album would have cost me 105 euros! With 68 being for shipping and 19 for taxes. The same album would cost me just 22 euros if I bought it from Fnac, an electronics and book retail store in my country.

Now it feels Like they rushed BTS solo activities and milking off of them as they’re in the military 🥹. An example is of Jhope ep, felt like the songs were unfinished, 1- a little over 2 minutes with 3 remixes of his other works on the rp. That felt really money hungry and lazy. Then, in his documentary, he said he had to pretend he enjoys music yet if you been fan for awhile, his joy used to be music. I never see how anyone talks about how they milked BTS to the bone with their pre-recorded solo activities and how, recently, it feels every rushed, lazy, and money hungry yet the group has no say right now with their work bc of the military.

You know, that brings something interesting to the table, it was said Gfriend was disbanded because there was someone in the board angry with Sowon because the picture with a maniquee with a relative unknown uniform of a Nazi soldier. The rumour said it was they were adamant in making them paid for being "ignorant" and refused to make amends with them, for a picture that was around a minute uploaded, of a relative unknown even in the west uniform from someone that have no reason to have any deep knowledge of that part of the history. The rumor said they demanded have them disbanded or will make the whole company to paid. We know how all that end.

​@@belaytriksyou are just teaching here and fabricating things....I don't like scooter Braun but he literally wasn't part of hybe when GFriend quit...plus it's clear GFriend themselves didn't want to stay as a group since even now they chose to go separate ways, so why are you still obsessing over it and lying about it?

This is the part that these kpop companies are trying to target. Is the fans heart and desire to see the idol. They aren't afraid of boycott etc because they know it won't happen. No fans will say No. That's the kind of impression they have when they embark on such activities. To put it simple. Feelings and emotion like the love for the artist is more stronger than logic.

When I was a fan of BTS back 2015-2018 I always thought that they would have better treatment and everything. Until prices started to get worse and I wasn’t able to purchase anything because for me, as a student it was hella expensive. Nowadays, with TXT, as a current moa, I do try to buy their albums since Blue Hour and i’ve seen how they have increased too and probably one day soon I will have to stop buying them sadly. L-army and L-moa have been waiting for BTS and TXT to come to Mexico specifically and they haven’t hear us yet, I don’t hate them for that but since HYBE was created I started to hate on them since they dissolved Gfriend. Because let’s be honest, everyone is forgetting what they did to them. I can’t trust Bang P.D anymore, I can’t trust any of the management behind the company and because BTS is in the army now, they’re putting pressure into TXT. Because, people even nowadays keep labeling them as BTS lil brothers. And I know a lot of you will say “but they’re having breaks!” and no, they need a whole vacation, you’re asking for health and you’re putting pressure on their shoulders. This company tuned out to be as sh!tty as any company in the kpop industry.

You guys keep getting it wrong. It is not solely Hybe's fault or responsibility. The respective companies and agencies of these idols are to be held responsible for the training and other basic factors regarding the welfare of these idols as they are the ones in charge of such things. For the millionth time ,HYBE IS NOT JUST A COMPANY , it is a music label that has certain music agencies/companies as subsidiaries under it and these companies include Big hit entertainment ( mamamoo , txt , bts ) , ADOR (new jeans) , Pledis ( not sure but I think le sserafim ) , Source music , BELIFT LAB and so on. I know HYBE has been getting involved in a lot of shady stuff lately which they definitely should be held accountable for but still do your research before commenting so that you don't end up blaming them for things that they shouldn't be blamed for. I know that HYBE still has a little part to play in the welfare of these idols since they are kind of the higher ups, but still just to an extent and not fully. It's just like blaming KAKAO for everything that Star ship does to their idols.

Big3 was willing to buy rising groups and destroy them to give their groups zero competition. It was also Big3 who destroyed the ex-members of the group so that they could never appear on public television again. They are also the ones who were willing to oppress foreign members of the group and profit from it and deceive them. Still say Big3 was that good? SM destroyed one of the groups because they were rivals to EXO and they wanted to do the same to BTS but Bang PD just never sold them. It was SM and YG who paid less salary for their foreign idols (SM even abused them). Let's not forget that foreign idols had no right to support their own country (the situation with Tzuyu and the flag). When the big3 dictates the rules, it's good, fair and okay, but when Hybe does it, it's bad? Big3 has hurt many more idols and groups. Maybe we as fans are not happy with what Hybe is doing, but did any of the idols agree with the fans? Do they feel bad? I don't think so. Choose who you listen to instead of complaining. If most fans don't have good taste, what should we do? Let everyone listen to what they want. Also it's stupid that Big3 can't be themselves, they just follow Hybe like fools. Hybe isn't the first to do 'payola' JYPE, YG AND SM have been doing it for years. After all, JYPE has been using tons of ads to gain views on YT for many years. YG made commercials and pushed blackpink in every one's playlist on Spotify (literally doing what's Hybe is doing right now for his gg) and SM manipulating Korean charts thanks to Kakao. Oh and of course Big3 that had 20+ versions of album just for fans to buy them for photocards (They did it to such an extent that a government organization took care of them because they were cheating). But that's fine, right? We should pretend nothing like that ever happened? Only Hybe is doing wrong things? After all, Bighit was created from nothing. They were the nugu company you write about. After all, SM tried to destroy them, but you forgot about that of course and talk about big3 letting nugu companies to exist 😂 In that matter I can sent thanks only to JYPE since Bighit was born from them 😂

There is a big difference between kpop then, now and western pop. While Western pop mainly focuses on music especially the vocal part which today is full of nothing but explicit lyrics that are either dissing or abusing or sexualizing. The concept of kpop emphasized mainly the choreography or dancing part along with the visual representation of idols beside vocalising. But what was even more intriguing was that at least the lyrics were like 70 - 80% korean in nature and 30 - 20% English. Listen to groups like BIGBANG, BTS, BLACKPINK before the PINK VENOM era, SEVENTEEN, RED VELVET and Girls Generation. But now Kpop artists are too much English and abandoning Korean wc by the way is beautiful. ps. I am not Korean. Have you listened to the New Jeans songs. OMG, their Costuming these days. Performing extreme moves and trying to imitate what they are not. HONESTLY, there's too much for me to summarize but from the Era of BLACKPINK to BTS, one could tell by listening to a song that this was not Western pop unlike today where most later 4th Gen groups are becoming overly westwashed.

When Hybe didn't have any GG in their building yet, the only GG songs that were played were Gidle songs. They never had anything against them. At least not at the time when Bang PD managed everything. I would say that he would personally derive a lot of satisfaction from working with her. Bighit never had anything against female producers (unlike cube) And they had Adora (NOT THE COMPANY ADOR) for example who left them to pursue soloist career (you can search up for her).

FLAME RISES tour was only for Japan, Korea, Indonesia, China, and Thailand. They’re a popular group so wth is that about?…. I don’t like how the image of LSF changed either. From the positive message of empowerment in “ANTIFRAGILE” to “UNFORGIVEN”, a distasteful religious concept, to “Perfect Night”…. “I don’t care what’s wrong or right”. The lyrics almost sound unethical. What is going on? And why is LSF Easy MV in a church?? Why the cultish vibes in their performances? And why is Yunjin walking around the city in her panties and coat for their comeback video? She can do whatever she wants, but it came as a bit of a shocker. I don’t want to see precious Eunchae become a different kind of person. Shes still a minor. Im also wondering why everyone is so quiet about LSF’s collab with Peaches. It’s a Playboy hybrid company in South Korea with an emphasis on “car culture”. Please understand Peaches has exclusively collaborated with Playboy. So that’s what Peaches is about. What is LSF with their minors doing promoting that company??? Nobody talking about that….. HYBE allowing New Jeans to sing “cookie” is also concerning, for those who understand Korean and what that song actually means. To date, Hyein is still only 16. She was 14 when they released that song. That’s just crazy tbh. I love that song, but honestly I think we can collectively agree that a 14 year old shouldn’t be directed to sing explicit songs (and again for those who don’t know the true meaning, it is a song with mature innuendos, presented as something cute, innocent and unassuming)…. Conclusively, I love HYBE artists and the music coming from them (for the most part) but I sincerely hope the label will see the light, and put their artists first. I hope HYBE will terminate their contract with UMG and with Braun. That alliance is not in the favor of HYBE, or its artists. That is for sure. And getting involved in crypto is just crazy. The fact that RM complained about it says so much. This company is way too money hungry. While K-netizens are usually off-the-mark, and can be harsh toward artists, they are totally on point with this one. This is unacceptable and it may lead to HYBES downfall if not fixed. Stans are not playing around. Numbers don’t lie and HYBE is literally not selling rn w/ j-hopes new album. “A word to the wise should be sufficient”… I hope HYBE will listen.

When one is greedy and tries to monopolise the industry, it unbalances the whole market. When they take over small companies and disband groups with no rhyme or reason, they deserve the hate train that is wrecking them up.

Their groups are very successful, but when it come to live encore stages, oh my goodness, it is such a freaking mess. And one thing that makes me shun that company is that they love to debut children.

[@JZL-hp5iz]

Someone has been a fan of K-pop for a long time. I’m not surprised this is happening. After the rise of BTS and BLACKPINK I noticed that all of a sudden that we started seeing a lot new fans, but also a lot of people becoming fans of the companies and I feel like that was always an issue that happened way back in the day during second General beginning of third General, where people were fans of the companies, and then the companies started showing their asses and treating the fans because there were so many fans that were literally trying to defend these companies on a daily basis. I mean, I’ve sat there and watch fans with other fans and other phantoms accompany, sexualizing, children or excepting questionable advertisements because as far as they were concerned, these companies could do no wrong because they created their favorite groups and I feel like that’s something we started seeing happening again, and when that happens in my humble opinion, it starts to show the real Image the people behind the company because they think they’re untouchable. Big hit has always had flaws and flaws that could’ve easily been avoided as someone who became a fan of glam and then BTS once they debuted after the complete fool in Fuckery that was glam. it would not have been hard for the company to realize that they had hired obsessive to become a K-pop idol. People have looked back and seen that there was so much evidence because homegirl did not hide the fact that she was a real big fan of this actor, and yet somehow, the company completely overlooked this so then when she did go ahead with her other friend and blackmail that man got caught and then ultimately was a downfall for her group because the company couldn’t even find it in themselves to just rebrand to continue with the other three members that did nothing wrong. They just terminated the contract for all four girls and threw them all to the side. BTS i’ve been a fan of the debuted. I am actually the same age as one of the members. I grew up in terms of my teenage years and young adult years with this group yet there has always been issues with certain members and how they were treated in this group, regardless of how amazing the company has done in advertising the boys. People have been blindsided or acting as if they have been to the treatment, even though we’ve had outside sources talking about it. There’s no reason why several different magazine companies have sat there and talked about how it had taken them months to convince this company to allow them to have V covers companies talking about wanting an ambassador to consistently trying to push the other members when they’re like no this is a very specific person we want to work with what the fuck is wrong with you. The fact that two different company sat there and talked about how crazy it was there. One company talked about it took the entire year to convince this company to finally allow them to work with. V less than three weeks to sign a contract with us and JK What are you doing in your group and for what and this has been an ongoing issue that many of the fans have pointed out, but people would always sit their point at those fans and tell them that they were crazy even when there was concrete evidence of this consistently happening, the company trying to downplay her and members because they’re not the ones that they want to make global superstars, which is weird as hell because even though they’re trying so hard that person still stuck out enough that they’re gaming that popularity on their own. TXT that’s all I have to say I don’t even think I need to go into it when it becomes to this group the way that the company has gone about. It hasn’t always been the best with a lot of things it genuinely feels like they kind of forget that they exist sometimes and I’m not saying oh they don’t overwork them enough or anything like that I mean like genuinely if I didn’t follow accounts and fan pages I wouldn’t know when the hell these dues were having comebacks and I follow their official account. it’s just that they don’t really advertise as much on those most of the things from this group. I’ve been a fan of secondhand accounts thats crazy end of the contract Got7 levels of the company, kinda not caring and saying a lot of that and I remember during the end of the contract the last like two years, they’re barely advertise shit. It was all the fans basically at that point. Enhypen and airports that is a whole saga that shouldn’t even be a saga. It shouldn’t even be happening yet. It has happened more than once. Yet it has gotten so bad to the point where at one point they actually had the fans camping out in the garage of the hotel they were staying in. talk about this corporation takes over several smaller companies or end up having huge claims in these companies they do help out. They definitely given more money to them so that they’re better equipped for doing certain things like as someone someone who’s been a fan of 17 since their debut the budget has improved hell of a lot. Buuuut where is the extra security? Like this group has ended up Skyrock Ing in popularity the other group literally debuted with a shit ton of popularity and yet it feels like every time I hear about them. It’s normally some incident happening in an airport. It’s normally the fault of the company for pitting it out there publicly as a public schedule thing that they’re leaving very specific airports are very specific times and then not having the correct amount of security or security protocol in place so that the fans can’t get too close and no one gets hurt or bombarded with a bunch of random ass people in their faces with their phones. Bang PD is trying a little too too hard for that white man validation and I don’t understand it. I don’t get it. Why are you trying to take the key out of K-pop but more importantly why does it seem like he’s trying to panda to white people group both of your original group were talking about the group literally based off of black culture so why are you trying to pander to the white music people who could give two shits about anyone outside of white people because let’s be real that’s normally how it goes and that’s how it’s been working. talking about wanting to take over the west More. There has been several articles interviews whatever the fuck you wanna call them those little magazine digital things on the Weversue etc., where they consistently keep leaving out the very people that basically shaped K-pop in the first place. They really sat there and they’re just kind of like yeah white fans and white people and blah blah blah blah blah blah and it’s like why does it feel like you keep leaving out the minorities you keep leaving out the Asian Americans, who are helping carry your back you keep leaving out the Black people who have been ride or die since the beginning. You keep leaving out the Latin/has been people which is crazy dealing that Latin America is one of the biggest places for K-pop and they have one of the biggest fan bases in general. But you will never forget to sit there and mention or pander to their paler counterpart. That’s not even touching on the fact that he keeps sitting here now and consistently making the worst money moves. He can possibly do by working with primarily problematic companies and primarily problematic people in the west because of the stars that they made before and it’s like did you not see the wild Crazy shit that all the stars went through at some point. Whether they have music and everything stolen from this man, literally had one of the worst meltdowns in a while since Britney Spears parties having their mansion rated pissing in mop buckets. It was quite the time, people are now just seeing that that person that he worked with was problematic from the very beginning, but it wasn’t until after they broke up a family that it’s like holy shit that advertisement those people were working. That’s crazy. That’s not even getting into the fact that scooter also had an opportunity to work with K-pop back in the day and he fucked that up CL he was in charge of her and she was supposed to be in America for whatever reason him and the company along with her Korean company too. Don’t think I’m saying YG had nothing to do with this, but he was the one who who is in charge at the end of the day on whether or not her music were coming out and they wouldn’t let her come out with them. She had to leak two of her music videos because they would not allow her to come out and she didn’t understand why either. She eventually talked about how they just kept telling her. It’s not the right time. It’s not the right time they kept pushing her back, pushing her back and she didn’t understand it but then they would have her do music videos for like Justin Bieber, and people like that who were also under the same American record company that she assigned to at the time and it’s like, so you have no problem with using her to expose your artist even more to the K-pop fans and the Korean music, industry, market, etc. but you couldn’t actually come out with music with her and promote her but we’re supposed to expect this man outside of all the controversy to somehow do better than that with an even bigger company with talent that’s huge in general, but also one of the biggest boy band in the world and we’re supposed to expect that yeah noooo

Wow, your racism REALLY started to show through right there in the middle. Just so you know... the WEST IS NOT WHITE PEOPLE. The WEST is everything WEST of Korea. Also, AMERICA IS NOT WHITE PEOPLE. Not to mention, POP MUSIC in AMERICA is JUAT AS dominated by Latin and African American artists as it is Caucasian. Moreover, Caucasian perople.... Are mostly European and Middle Eastern... THAT is WHY you cant call America "white people" because WHITE Is not what it means to be AMERICAN. Americans are from EVERYWHERE because American is NOT an ethnicity. So.... American DOESN'T mean white, and west DOESN'T mean American. West means Canada, North America, South America, and UK... Basically everything that isn't EurAsia or directly North or South of them... you know, WEST! However I'm sure none of that will matter to you because you were raised to HATE anyone who doesn't have the same color skin as you or who isn't directly catering to those who do, whilst rationalizing the separation of everyone else from "you and yours" to the point of true idiocracy. For crying out loud, the fact that kpoo IS the mixture of Korean culture with African American culture is QUITE LITERALLY what started THE WESTERNIZATION! AFRICAN AMERICAN IS FROM THE WEST! (And fyi, its not the backbone of kpop, because black culture did not START rap, they just modernized it and popularized it. And then Kpop utilized their updated version of it. Rap atarted in Korea, thats why they wanted it ad such a notable feature of their music to begin with. Over 1000 years ago the traveling storytellers Korea would utilize RAPPING to tell their stories whilst the DANCED. This is actually what kpop descends from. They just haopened to take kindly to the adaptation of rap that black culture in the WEST had constructed. BASICALLY EVERYTHING that African AMERICANS think they created has existed for thousands of years somewhere else in the world. That's just a fact. The same goes for ALL AMERICANS. WE AREN'T THE SHIT, WE ARENT SPECIAL, AND WE DON'T GET TO SEGREGATE OURSELVES FROM EACHOTHER BY WAY OF DENOUNCING THAT ANY OF US ARE NOT THAT THEY SPEAK OF WHEN THEY SAY WEST. Caucasian Americans (yes, thats what they ACTUALLY are, fyi) African Americans, Asian Americans.... ALL AMERICANS are included in "the West" and THAT is who they are catering to! And just so you know, those minorities you speak of, are not so much the minority anymore. In fact, the are the MAJORITY in many parts of the USA. Also, YOU ARE VERY RASIST!! STOP SEGREGATING "YOUR PEOPLE" FROM "THOSE PEOPLE" AS THAT IS THE DAMN DEFINITION OF RACISM! 😤 People, are people. If you want to be treated well, treat others well. No matter what bloody color they happen to be. Melanin is simply a pigment that is produced by the skin, and it's being triggered is based on the history that's stored within the DNA of the parents as to the environment that the baby is most likely to be born into. The presence of melanin is due to the evolutionary needs of people living on or close to the equator. As the suns rays are muxh stronger, the blood within the body requires more protection from harmful UV radiation and heat. Sun closer = temp higher = skin darker. Sun father= temp lower= skin lighter. THAT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE... SO EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP TRYING TO FORCE A NARRATIVE THAT THERE IS ANYTHING BEYOND IT. TO DO SO, TO SEPERATE PEOPLE FROM ONE ANOTHER IN ANY WAY BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN... IS EXTREMELY RASIST!
