HYBE managers searching girls bras/underwear at &TEAM fansign

what in the world

wtf

Smh..

Wow. I'm trying to imagine going to a fan sign for my faves and a manager grabbing my crotch and asking me to cough.

That shit is wild.

Uhmmmmmmmm

If this story is true then it's really really weird since there are 2 techs exist in this modern world for that:

If anyone was wondering when the downfall of Hybe would begin, you're looking at it.

🤡🤡😂😂😎 HYBE security os is legendary. Bruh they guard their idols like the president. You need an extensive search just to see them. Just be glad they don't do police level prison searches which means strip search and cavity search. They might add these later for people wanting to see BTS

These two aren't full proof which is why police and security at high security areas still search and pat you down. Sux ass but this is what you sign up for to get in. Don't like it don't go it's like going to a airport and they flag you for extra screening. Don't like it don't ever fly on a plane. Doubtful this stuff will make hybe fall. As a bodyguard irl I can see instances where this Ludacris level of security checks can be justified and HYBE with all the money and lawyers they have could likely justify it and nobody will dona thing about it. Just like you can't do anything about TSA searching you

What’s happening someone give a tldr

Hybe thinks kpop fans are crazy people.

Well, police and security aren't just searching for hidden camera right? Idk about other place but here at my place they do that pat to search smuggled drugs.

The thing is, if hybe want, they could just provide their security the correct tools for the targeted items. (Not only metal detector, but they could add another like rf detector or anything else).

It's like, unless all the staffs are mutants that are Magneto's descendants, their hand could not detect metal right? And they relied only on hand and eyes, which are easier to be fooled than a scanner.

Not if you are doing full body searches like they are. Sux but again HYBE is a company at the end of the day they want $$$$$$ scanners and metal detectors are thousands of dollars, your hands and a few hours of training costs a few hundred dollars at most. Or if hiring an outside security firm its free . Still get the same results Just costs less

Nope, there are some ways. But yeah them being not wanting to spent some money to buy tools is just petty

I can't imagine putting myself through such indignity for a fan sign.

That's wild 💀

In most countries physical contact searches and invasive searches are not legal unless done by specially licensed security staff that also need to clearly state such searches are in effect

If it involves minors, the rules are even stricter

Like the POLICE in Australia got in trouble a few years back for doing over the top searches on minors at music festivals... The Police...

Quote from bartkun

wtf do they expect young girls to carry some weapons on them?

Being crazy doesn't wait a certain age? It could happen to young human.

Also they said that it because they are searching for recording device

Quote from bartkun

are they afraid then that boys will say something weird?

Welp, idk the reasoning

When I went to Blackpink in Sydney a few weeks ago we had to go through metal detector gates, a wand wave down, a bag search (and bags had to be stupidly small) and there were no bottles from outside allowed at all.

But one thing security did NOT do is touch anyone physically (except for a handful of medical issue things I saw.

Quote from bartkun

do they expect young girls to carry some weapons on them?

You'd be surprised what can happen. If you were around during first and second gen you wouldn't even ask this question. During those periods it was not uncommon to see fans carrying knives and other weapons to concerts. There's been more than one fight and weapons pulled at concerts. Fans had actual fan wars not this online shit talk stuff. People today are lucky fans calmed down because back then it was not uncommon to see fan brawls, and even attacks on idols, being slapped or have hard objects like s rock thrown at them including the time one was poisoned. HYBE is going abit overboard with it but i can understand them not wanting anyone to even think about repeating the past.

Hell if Jungkook was my son I'd feel obligated to have anyone be strip searched before being allowed near him😂

That's incredibly fucked. One of my K- Luné gdm friends said that she knows someone who got searched.

The K-Luné I know of online said it was a hired security company.

(that's shitty though that one k-net comment said they hoped &TEAM flopped. How the fuck is this their fault? lol)

If it will be confirmed to be true - absolutely disgusting and heads should roll.

But I remember how few years back fansites tried to spread similar rumor before BTS Muster because they didn't want to let them in with their big ass cameras and it was being proven to be false.

disgusting

Quote from ABoredStan

HYBE made an apology stating that the searches were basically an inconvenience to fans and justified their reasoning because fans have hid stuff on them that were prohibited and that ALL searches were done in a private room by FEMALE security staff PERIOD!. But iterated in the future they would procure no contact methods to improve fan experience and reduce inconvenience

fanmeetings are not worth losing your dignity over.

were they done by women or men?

You can't buy everything it seems

Quote from lialve

were they done by women or men?

HYBE stated that it was conducted by FEMALES ONLY!!!! and in a private room separate from other people

Quote from Daisy_Queen

During the twice concert, they absolutely did not want us recording soundcheck for some reason but not one did anyone get physically touched

Heh they made this HUGE deal about no one recording soundcheck. As we were lining up, they told us over and over, no recording or cameras for soundcheck. Anyone with cameras out during soundcheck will be kicked out...

Yeah...

well...

Where'd that come from? HYBE stated that it was their own security staff and female only staff that conducted these searches and did so in a private setting away from others
