Hybe recently surprised their fans for sharing a teaser of a new visualiser of BTS 7 Moments 3D merchandise. However, the agency is now facing the ire of the netizens as they have ignored member V’s solo achievements.
In the video, it gave a glimpse of all the members and what fans could expect from the special release ahead of all the members being discharged later in the year. The eagle-eyed netizens soon flooded the comment section and slammed Hybe.
One user wrote, “Didn’t V do solo activities? V did a lot of SOLO activities too he released music, so why did you only use magazine photos for V? We demand an explanation from HYBE, why so much favoritism, is the ARMY BTS a sham?”. Another user wrote, “Time again, this gets proven how bighit/hybe badly treats taehyung & his solo work. Nothing for layover, friends, or winter ahead. Spreading fake ot7 agenda to gather his fans but not respecting his solo work BIGHIT RESPECT TAEHYUNG”. “Taecrew &all those who love #taehyung…let’s speak up louder..it’s not fair…hybe&bighit don’t appreciate taehyung’s hard work…#V is always treated differently with other members. BIGHIT RESPECT TAEHYUNG…WE LOVE YOU TAEHYUNG. LAYOVER BEST DEBUT ALBUM”, wrote the third user.
In 2024, Hybe officially reported Min Hee-jin to the police for “breach of trust” on April 24 following evidence retrieved from the audit that she is attempting to gain management of the label. In another controversy, In June 2024, South Korean prosecutors charged three employees of Hybe subsidiaries with insider trading.
On October 24, 2024, Hybe had came under scrutiny during a National Assembly audit when Representative Min Hyung-bae of the Korea Democratic Party questioned the company’s COO, Kim Tae-ho, about controversial internal practices.
