HYBE's internal documents controversy has quickly become a hot topic among netizens. The recent leak of internal reports revealed derogatory statements about multiple idol groups, including one notable comment about HYBE's intention to 'dispose of NewJeans.' 

At first, the documents, titled 'Music Industry Weekly Trend Reports,' were claimed to be a collection of online comments for HYBE to review, not a reflection of the company's official position. As the CEO of BeLift Lab explained: "This is not HYBE's official stance or judgment, but rather a collection of online monitoring."

However, it has now been revealed that at least part of the defamatory internal documents were in fact written by HYBE employees. Netizens are now connecting this information with the well-known theory that HYBE's strategy has been to get rid of NewJeans all along. 

Netizens commented:

"HYBE is trash, they betrayed NewJeans"

"HYBE needs to be destroyed"

"Why are they saying that they're going to 'dispose of' NewJeans when they didn't even create them in the first place? They're not just going to throw them away, they're going to systematically ruin them. They're really annoying"

"If it goes to court, NewJeans will probably win 100%, but it's just a fight against time... I want NewJeans to escape safely"

"Is this why they copied NewJeans and made ILLIT? As the situation progresses, the only one I feel sympathy for is NewJeans.."

"HYBE are such idiots. They're idiots to think that idols like NewJeans can just be created or thrown away like that"

"It's funny, Bang Si-hyuk ruined both LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT as soon as he touched them"

"HYBE needs to stop trying to crush NewJeans with their nonsense and just release them from the company. This punk agency that just wants to ruin their own singers..."

"HYBE is crazy, they don't see their idols as people, only tools"

"Wouldn't this be enough for NewJeans to win the lawsuit? Isn't this blatant breach of trust?"

"NewJeans is the best of the best, what is HYBE even thinking? Saying they're going to dispose of them is just foolish"

"I'm not even a fan of NewJeans but I feel like crying. Why does HYBE do such trashy things??? NewJeans is really young and they're working hard so how can HYBE step on them so viciously and act so impatiently? Is HYBE even human? An animal would act better than this"

"It says that they are going to dispose of NewJeans and replace them with LE SSERAFIM. Oh my..."
