Korean Netizens Blast HYBE For Latest Statement In Sexual Harassment Controversy

Netizens criticized HYBE and the security guards. Many alleged that the security guards’ behavior was out of bounds.

• “They are seriously doing too much. We don’t even know who they are. I knew they were out of their minds when they were asking fans to have good etiquette toward their artists.”
• “If you’re going to act like that, then just use a private plane, LOL. They flopped in Japan and aren’t even top-tier in Korea, so why the fuss? LOL. People wouldn’t notice them if they walked by.”
• “They are the ones causing a disturbance by yelling in a public place as if they were gangsters.”
• “Why are they screaming at people standing still? They are the ones using an umbrella, so what do they mean to get out of the way? LOL. They really hate their fans.”
• “Seriously, who are they?”
• “Did HYBE purchase the airport?”
• “Security really had umbrellas out indoors, LOL.”
• “But seriously, who are they?”
• “HYBE still hasn’t gotten their act together?”
• “They are acting like fools. I don’t know who they are, but the only thought that comes to my mind is they are doing too much.”
