[+264, -15] I was shocked when I saw a video of BTS’ rookie days where a manager hit Jungkook. If that manager is still in the company, I just hope Hybe knows that any company who thinks they can treat their artists like products instead of human beings like this will never last long.

[+166, -11] Nothing about this situation is new. Hybe has always used BTS as shields to protect all the wrongdoings of their company and staff. I have never once seen them actively try and protect BTS themselves. There is no “forward growth” for Hybe when they’ve only even reached this position because of BTS. They will hit rock bottom without BTS.

[+117, -10] Hybe and their followers all say the same thing… they treat artists like products and even when the law says there was no breach of trust, “my feelings were hurt” is enough for them to brand you a traitor. This company and their followers should never be allowed to exist in the industry.

[+97, -10] Hybe loves playing word games. They claim “we didn’t terminate Min Hee Jin, Ador did” but they’re the ones who filled up all the seats in Ador with Hybe directors

[+58, -11] I randomly came across this lawyer’s video on my feed this morning and it’s 30 minutes long but full of relatable information. I’m on New Jeans’ side but the lawyer is closer to neutral but has a lot of persuasive arguments.

[+17, -0] To Bang Shi Hyuk, who suffers from face blindness, New Jeans is probably just another popular gaming item in his eyes…

[+15, -0] One thing’s clear, that Hybe has zero communication within their own company for New Jeans to have even been forced to go this far. If Hybe had sat the girls down and at least explained what their plans were for their future, do you think they would’ve taken it this far…?

[+140, -6] Even Hybe staff on Blind are hating on Jungkook, I have no idea what kind of company this is anymore

[+101, -7] Even their staff are crazy, Hybe is a disgusting company

[+93, -3] The article only copied the tamer comments from Blind, they were actually hating on Jungkook even worse than this

[+63, -0] Hybe’s stocks plummeting is 100% because of their management

[+55, -2] Justice will prevail. It’s always those standing with justice like Jungkook who suffer loneliness.

[+14, -0] As a BTS fan, it’s clear to me how Hybe must’ve been treating BTS behind our backs too

[+5, -1] Seems Hybe doesn’t consider character or fit when they hire people… it’s sad that they feel comfortable enough to hate on their own artists behind the guise of anonymity

[+2, -0] Motherless Hybe

[+1, -0] These staff are a mess ㅋㅋㅋ go do your work, fools

[+1, -0] A company like Hybe that chooses to ignore the public will 100% fail
