HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk is facing intense scrutiny from netizens following a new report from Ilgan Sports on October 29, which revealed his alleged involvement in distributing controversial internal documents within the company. The report has not only placed Bang at the heart of the issue but also sparked an outpouring of public criticism questioning his role and calling for his resignation.

Ilgan Sports Report Exposes Bang Si Hyuk’s Role in Document Distribution

According to the Ilgan Sports report, Bang Si Hyuk directly oversaw the release of internal documents that have recently stirred significant controversy within the industry. While it remains unclear whether he initially ordered the creation of the document, the report suggests he ensured it was distributed to a newly appointed executive, despite knowing the document contained sensitive content. HYBE CEO Lee Jae Sang has already issued an apology, taking responsibility for the documents’ leak, but the new information implicating Bang Si Hyuk has left many questioning his integrity and intentions.

  • HYBE Founder Bang Si Hyuk Reportedly Involved in Controversial Internal Document Incident

HYBE has not yet addressed Bang’s reported involvement, and the chairman has not commented publicly. This silence has led to increased frustration among fans and industry observers who feel HYBE should provide transparency regarding the incident and Bang Si Hyuk’s role.

Netizens Demand Accountability from HYBE’s Founder

The public reaction has been swift, with netizens calling for accountability and demanding that Bang Si Hyuk address the accusations directly. Korean netizens have voiced dissatisfaction over Bang’s absence from the recent National Assembly audit, a government-led investigation where he was notably absent. Many have criticized him for staying in the United States during a time when he faces serious scrutiny back home.

Here are some direct comments from TheQoo, a popular Korean online forum, reflecting the public sentiment:

“He’ll never take responsibility.”

“Ilgan Sports is doing a good job. But why isn’t Bang Si Hyuk showing up?”

“Does he think the public is stupid or something?”

“Take responsibility and step down.”

“Laughing it up in the U.S. while causing social controversy – during a government audit, no less.”

“What’s Bang still doing in the U.S.?”

“It’s definitely Bang’s responsibility.”

“Why isn’t he attending the government audit? After everything he’s done?”

“What gives him the nerve to act so shamelessly?”

The relentless comments highlight a growing distrust toward the chairman, with many feeling that his international presence amid a domestic controversy is a calculated avoidance of responsibility. HYBE’s rapid ascent in the entertainment industry has generally been celebrated by the public, but incidents like these have begun to erode the trust that fans and industry stakeholders previously placed in the company’s leadership.

Whether Bang Si Hyuk will respond or take any action remains to be seen. Public pressure continues to mount as both fans and critics await his response to the controversy surrounding him.
