On June 22, HYBE chairman Bang Si Hyuk updated his Instagram with pictures of himself meeting with multiple notable artists at the recent Weverse Con Festival. He captioned the post, “Unforgettable moments with artists of WeverseCon Festival. #honored Thank you!” before tagging the artists pictured.

The post quickly gained traction among netizens, especially due to Bang Si Hyuk’s current controversial status during the HYBE-ADOR conflict. Netizens have been discussing his attention-grabbing Instagram post since it was created:

“He’s still taking pictures with everyone except NewJeans”

“Why has he suddenly crawled out of the woodwork to start posting on social media again?”

“Didn’t his agency say he had trouble with facial recognition? It must be difficult to take pictures with this many people”

“NewJeans has successfully debuted in Japan and is doing well, but he doesn’t post any pictures of them”

“Oh, so he can recognize all of these singers but not NewJeans? That’s interesting”

“Why isn’t he even looking at the camera?”

“He even took pictures with virtual idols but not with NewJeans…”

“Who likes taking pictures this much?"
