It turns out that Sojang, the infamous YouTuber who attacked K-pop idols with harmful content, has been backed by HYBE following an audit.
Recently, the National Assembly summoned HYBE leaders for a state audit. Here, they reportedly recovered 18,000-page internal documents containing terrible comments and insights from K-Netz and its employees, attacking artists from other labels.
In a newly revealed report page, a shocking revelation infuriated K-pop enthusiasts, as it was claimed that HYBE used Sojang as one of its sources to gather data on “rival” labels
idols.
In the past, the YouTube channel “Taldeok Camp”, managed by Sojang, became notorious for attacking various K-pop idols with offensive and harmful content, including IVE Jang Wonyoung, Kang Daniel, EXO Suho, aespa Karina and others.
During his time, he announced that there was a major company that had joined his VIP/premium membership, suggesting it could be HYBE or the “Big 3” SM, JYP and YG.
With the internal report, fans and netizens confirmed that it was HYBE, as they were closely monitoring the channel for additional sources that they could use for viral marketing strategies.

Learning about this, HYBE artists, especially ARMY, are disgusted considering that BTS V was one of Sojang’s victims. Fans say it now makes sense why the idol sued the YouTuber himself, while the label remained silent about it.
Here are the reactions of K-pop fans:
so a certain company has supported Sojang all these years.. 💀💀
now it all makes so much sense… why all the companies in the industry didn’t sue Sojang until Wonyoung had to spend his own money and hired his own personal lawyer to work with the US law firm… https: //t.co/ju8kOBUvmJ pic.twitter.com/LnQRTw11mi— annyeongz akgae (@annyeongzboss) October 28, 2024

Taehyung, one of the idols Sojang targeted the most, criticized them in 2021 and had to sue himself years later because hybe refused to budge for him even though that’s their job. atp I strongly believe that Hybe uses attacker information from our reporting emails against Taehyung https://t.co/BlQ6c2seAI pic.twitter.com/jyQlR1eG8C
