A TripleS producer responded to HYBE's controversial 'Music Industry Report' that was recently released and provocatively asked, "You scared?" along with a laughing emoji.
This followed the release of additional pages from HYBE's report, which allegedly included critical comments on TripleS, known for its "massive" member lineup.
In the report, HYBE referenced a group from a mid-sized agency and criticized a choreography video featuring 16 of the members (suspected to be TripleS). The report criticized the group's choreography as lacking and "barely exceeding the performance level of a university club."
The report also noted that "it abandoned the in-depth style of the original 'Gangbuk ○○○ (HYBE group)' and instead took on a shallow, late-stage Japanese idol vibe. The choreography, which had been touted as a 'massive' performance during an overseas tour, was described as amateurish—far from justifying the 'grand' label, with member styling and preparation barely exceeding the level of a university club."
BADD, the chief music producer at MODHAUS, quickly responded through an Instagram story, firing back with the question, “You scared?”—implying that HYBE might feel threatened by TripleS.
Korean netizens gathered in a popular online community where they continued to discuss this latest topic about HYBE's "Music Industry Report" and also showed support for the groups mentioned in the document.
They commented:
"Insecure much?"
"I support TripleS."
"I don't even remember which group Gangbuk ○○○ is."
"That's so low of HYBE."
"Scared? LOL."
"HYBE is a joke."

"This producer's clapback is awesome."
"It's so obvious HYBE was envious this company was able to launch a large group like TripleS."

"This is hilarious."
"HYBE is so low."
"lol."
"The writer of that report is going to write about this again too. lol."
"What is Gangbuk ○○○??"
"No one remembers Gangbuk ○○○, lol. That's why HYBE is butt hurt."
