It met the required numerical criteria.
A recent Blue House petition calling for the cancellation of MOVESThe “top Enterprise” status of has reached 50,000 signatures.
The petition was started after leaks of internal documents revealed that some HYBE employees had allegedly monitored and denigrated artists from other companies. The leaked documents fueled extreme public outrage and thus garnered a large number of signatures in a short time.
As of November 9, KST, the petition had 50,000 signatures, making it eligible to be presented to the National Assembly. It can be subjected to evaluation by the Environment and Labor Commission of the National Assembly.
Every year, 100 companies are awarded the title of “leading company and workplace” by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, each representing the country’s different labor industries. In 2024, both HYBE and Weverse Company were among those 100. But after harassment complaints made against the label by New Jeansrepresentative Hong Bae Park urged the Ministry to strip HYBE of its “Top Company” title during a National Assembly audit in mid-October.
The Blue House petition also argues that there is already a precedent of removing a company from the “Top Company” list, dating back to April 2022. It urged the government to take similar steps with HYBE.
Netizens largely supported this petition, celebrating its completion of the required 50,000 signatures.
