Netizens are questioning why Dispatch has never reported on dating rumors involving HYBE artists.

On online forums, discussions have centered around the media outlet’s apparent history of avoiding such reports, despite HYBE being one of the largest entertainment companies in K-pop. This discrepancy has sparked suspicions and fueled debates about Dispatch’s motives.

The scrutiny intensified after Dispatch accused Min Hee Jin of influencing NewJeans to leave ADOR, claiming they had obtained messenger records as evidence. In response, Min Hee Jin filed a lawsuit against Dispatch reporters Kim Ji Ho and Park Hye Jin, as well as former and current HYBE executives, alleging violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.

Amid these controversies, netizens have speculated that Dispatch might be siding with HYBE, accusing the company of "paying Dispatch" significant sums to maintain silence about their artists’ private lives.

Discussions have highlighted the lack of reports on V and Jennie’s rumored relationship and the absence of dating scandals involving other HYBE idols, despite lingering rumors.

A netizen uploader of the post on the forum also wrote: "Dispatch is a media outlet that became famous for reporting dating scandals. "They expose scandals involving the Big 3 agencies—SM, YG, and JYP—but never, ever report on HYBE. Even when a major agency’s female idol, who’s had two dating rumors reported by Dispatch, starts dating a HYBE male idol, no dating rumor gets reported."

Here are some of the comments:

"Jennie had two dating rumors exposed, but when she started dating V, it was strangely quiet—so funny, haha."

"Completely obvious. Even BTS members had tons of rumors, but not a single confirmed report has come out so far. Does that even make sense?"

"Fans of HYBE idols always say their idols are good at self-management, haha."

"Oh, now that I think about it, I don’t recall seeing any HYBE idol dating scandals from Dispatch, haha."

"They expose SM idols' relationships as soon as they start dating though lol."

"HYBE fans probably like it. As long as they’re with HYBE, no dating rumors will come out."

"They publish articles with precision when it’s others, but even with undeniable photos and videos, they stay silent, haha."

"For years, they stalked Jennie like crazy but didn’t publish a single article during that time—so ridiculous, haha."

"Jennie + Kai, article published.
Jennie + G-Dragon, article published.
Jennie + V, no article published, haha."

"Even with clear photos and videos surfacing, no articles get published, so it’s easier for fans to pretend nothing’s happening."

"Jennie and V’s story wasn’t exposed by Dispatch; it was leaked by regular people, haha."

"Is Dispatch funded by HYBE corporate credit cards or something??"

"Other companies get their scandals exposed while HYBE gets a free pass, lol."

"Fans of HYBE idols say the lack of dating rumors is an advantage, haha."

"Most HYBE idols are the clear beneficiaries of this, so the whole idea of wanting their bias group to go through a ‘safe breakup’ with HYBE is kind of funny."

"People denying this are shameless, haha. Stop justifying it with ridiculous excuses."

"Such a strong connection."

"They must be paying a lot under the table. It’s way too blatant with Dispatch, haha."

"Who doesn’t know this? Even the neighborhood dogs are aware, haha."

"Everyone knows they’re practically a mouthpiece now."

"How much lobbying are they even doing?"

"EXO had so many dating rumors exposed, but not HYBE, haha."

"How much golf are they playing with each other?"

"Does anyone not know about this? It’s been so obvious all along, haha."

What’s your take on the situation?
