HYBE has been accused of private investigating NewJeans fans.
On October 3, allegations that HYBE is investigating regular NewJeans fans spread on online communities under the title, "HYBE is now resorting to investigating the identities of NewJeans' fans." The poster claims to be a big fan and criticizes HYBE for allegedly manipulating the media as well as allegedly investigating fans.
In the post, the writer makes a stern warning to HYBE about their alleged unethical practices, including press manipulation and intimidation, expressing outrage over the company's supposed actions. The poster further states they believe things have escalated to the level of national concern, calling for accountability and urging HYBE to either acknowledge their mistakes and promise correction or to come forward to address the concerns. Additionally, the writer criticizes the company's alleged tactics, including obstructing investigations and spreading misinformation, and warns that unethical actions will ultimately have consequences. The message concludes by promising further communication regarding a formal complaint.
Netizens responded, "Wow, they're crazy. Are they FBI? Acting like secret police in a dictatorship," "Weird," "They're not investigating civilians? Disgusting to see our privacy rights infringed upon," "Seriously, hoping my idols will be able to leave the label unharmed," "They're doing everything that's illegal," "In this situation, no one is reporting on this. The media only writes articles criticizing fans of NewJeans," and more.
