“I am honestly shocked…”
MOVES founder Bang Si Hyukcomments on ENIPENE in a new article he sparked anger.
Lately, The New Yorker posted an article on Bang Si Hyuk.
Bang Si-hyuk, the man behind BTS, is the founder of HYBE Corporation: part record label, part talent agency, part tech platform, part entertainment conglomerate. Bang is determined to extend the company’s influence across the international pop scene. https://t.co/VLZ3W36nhT

In the article, the founder talked about HYBE and the groups, but a paragraph about ENHYPEN sparked great anger.
Bang Si Hyuk talked about the members when they were trainees, presumably referring to their time there I-Earth. In describing the members, he said, “There’s something really dark and sexy about them.”
Netizens shared their anger that the comments seemed very inappropriate to describe the members of ENHYPEN before their debut, especially since they were all minors with the youngest Ni-Ki I’m only 13 years old
come and see what I read in this new article (the one for which katseye and bang pd were photographed together)… bang pd defines the sexy enhypen members as interns… they were all minors as interns, the youngest had 13 years old pic.twitter.com/tn780oNZYB

I’m honestly shocked at how an entire article about another group ended up dismissing Engenes’ real concerns about Enha’s health, bang pd by saying that Enha were “dark and sexy” when they were underage and insulting Enhypen’s impact for God’s sake only knows what, wtf
