Recently, V (BTS) fans trended “HYBE apologize to V” and “HYBE respects Taehyung” on X (formerly Twitter) after documents surfaced suggesting that HYBE considered exploiting V’s dating rumors with Jennie, potentially to shift focus from the private lives of other BTS members. .
The document also revealed that HYBE was monitoring Sojang, a YouTuber known for defamatory content. Prosecutors recently recommended a four-year prison sentence for Sojang, following a lawsuit by V and Jungkook seeking 90 million won in damages.
HYBE is also accused of inadequate support for V’s debut solo album.
Additionally, fans also recalled the time Bang Si-hyuk failed to recognize V.
Previously, BTS’s V appeared in SBS’s Chuseok pilot program “BTS Variety Chronicles,” which aired on September 10, 2019, with President Bang Si-hyuk. At the time, V expressed his disappointment that President Bang Si-hyuk had failed to remember his name for a year.
V recalled: “It was after the monthly evaluation. I was going to the convenience store with RM when I ran into PD Bang Si-hyuk. I greeted him and PD Bang Si-hyuk asked me, “Who are you after Nam-joon (RM)?”“
At the same time, V appealed to President Bang Si-hyuk to remember his name: “My name is Tae-hyung. It went on like this for a year.“
Netizens’ comments:
- [+55, 0] It’s actually been two years. The members of Bangtan talked about it on the radio.
- [+47, 0] It seems that V was the first “victim” of his facial recognition problem. This is ridiculous.
- [+33, 0] So its facial recognition only fails with beautiful ones?
- [+23, 0] The inferiority complex seems ingrained. Just look at how they promote less attractive types – you can see the pattern. Both Bangtan and LE SSERAFIM… They are incredibly greedy, they want everything, but no matter how hard they push, they can’t achieve good looks or star quality, so they end up resenting those who do.
- [+13, 0] But he recognized Sakura instantly ㅠㅠ
On the morning of May 13, a media outlet reported on ADOR’s email to HYBE summarizing NewJeans parents’ suggestions to the company.
According to the email, NewJeans parents said that President Bang Si-hyuk did not even respond to greetings from NewJeans members when they met him at the company.
Parents expressed their dismay:Every time NewJeans meets President Bang Si-hyuk in the company, we don’t understand why President Bang pretends not to know the members and ignores their greetings. We heard many stories, such as one member who was embarrassed in the elevator because he was ignored, feeling that Mr. Bang was pretending not to see him or intentionally avoiding him. As parents, we are shocked by this situation and feel speechless. Members are middle and high school age only.“
