K-netizens accuse YouTube reporter Lee Jin Ho of being friends with the vice president of Big Hit Music

AKP STAFF

Recently, K-netizens have turned their attention to YouTuber Lee Jin Ho, leveling accusations regarding his alleged friendship with the vice president of Big Hit Music.

This allegation was fueled by his latest report exposing Min Hee Jin's alleged derogatory KakaoTalk messages about NewJeans. On May 17, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho brought to light private conversations allegedly held between the ADOR CEO and the co-CEO concerning NewJeans, in which derogatory language was purportedly used to describe the girl group.


This latest revelation sparked various discussions in various online communities where Korean netizens shared their thoughts and criticisms toward Min Hee Jin. Many were shocked by the language allegedly used by Min Hee Jin, but many also defended Min Hee Jin criticizing that HYBE should've prevented these messages from going public.

After the report emerged, a netizen made an intriguing observation: YouTube reporter Lee Jin Ho is apparently friends with the vice president of Big Hit Music. This discovery raised questions about whether Lee Jin Ho deliberately portrayed Min Hee Jin negatively in his reporting.

Lee Jin Ho stated that he is acquaintances with the vice president of Big Hit Music.

The netizen also criticized the decision to make public the Kakaotalk messages exchanged between Min Hee Jin and the co-CEO, arguing that they should have remained private. They accused Lee Jin Ho of intentionally exposing these messages.

Korean netizens commented:

"I see it clearly, these dumb Ahjusshis are crossing the line just to isolate and ostracize Min Hee Jin."

"What does this have to do with her alleged hostile takeover?"

"Wasn't she saying all these things about Bang?"

"This is playing dirty."

"I really don't think Min Hee Jin was saying those things about NewJeans. She's definitely talking about HYBE people."

"Bang Si Hyuk needs to stop."

"This is just making me speechless."
"He's a cyber wrecker."

"Playing dirty I see."

"What does this have to do with the hostile take over? Also they think HYBE executives don't talk worse than that if we expose their messengers?"

What difference does his connection to Hybe make if the texts are real?

He has 500K followers in youtube, I dont think he will risk it by faking these texts.

Also, whats with the article, I fail to understand the purpose?
