HYBE employees caught making negative comments about label's girl groups

AKP STAFF

HYBE employees have been caught making negative comments about the label's own girl groups.

Comments made by HYBE employees on the online community Blind, which requires verification of users' employment through work e-mails, have become a trending topic online. In the thread, the original poster and HYBE employee questions whetherADOR CEO Min Hee Jin is really behind the success of NewJeans and what NewJeans would be like without her. Other employees responded with their own comments, referring to HYBE subsidiary girl group LE SSERAFIM and other girl groups under the HYBE umbrella.

The conversation went as follows:

"zn2uie: I want to see NewJeans without Min Hee Jin to see if Min Hee Jin is really irreplaceable. As someone who works here, I'm so curious.

BetweenSeoulandthecountryside: Oh, hyung. I like your spirit. I'm curious to see what will happen to NewJeans without Min Hee Jin too.

ncjiermtn: If you look at all the girl groups who've debuted until now, isn't the answer obvious? LE SSERAFIM's skill controversy, plagiarism controversy... Can that still be called producing? Can they even develop further? If it's possible, why doesn't it apply to existing groups? I'm saying this because I'm really curious.

zn2uie: Regardless of the label's position, the girl groups you mentioned do need practice. We need to improve scheduling and other systems, so they have the energy and stamina to practice. However, HYBE's mains are not girl groups technically. Basically, I think this is a testing period. That's why I want to see NewJeans without Min Hee Jin so much."


What are your thoughts on the viral conversation?

For people that don't know, BLIND app is for company employees to talk amongst each other anonymously. Each user is verified by their company @ email, so you know everyone had been an employee at some time.

The important thing to note is, BLIND is filled with people talking shit about their own company lol... its all the people who are unhappy at HYBE. You don't download an anonymous app to say nice things about your company. It also includes people who have left the company or have been fired. You're not going to find many nice things on that app by default.
