Do you think HYBE was responsible for Karina’s predebut scandal that got her a lot of hate?

Just before debuting Karina was involved in a scandal where she supposedly called Kai from Exo, Jimin from BTS and some other popular male idols ugly she also criticised SM saying she was never going to debut and she should have moved to HYBE

SM came out saying this was all false and they would be pressing charges to anyone talking bad about Karina etc 1 or 2 months later aespa debuted

Some people she went to school with also came forward saying she never had that type of character and was always very friendly and polite

Now with the recent news HYBE has access to SM trainees and knows a lot more than expected about them/ SM also with HYBE obsession with aespa known publicly and them being responsible for starting or encouraging a lot of aespa / SM hate trains is it far fetch to theorise Hybe was responsible for this? I mean it doesn’t sound that surprising

It got her/ aespa a lot of hate in debut eras with Army’s/ HYBE stans

Sometimes I think you guys think too far. At this point, you might as well say they were behind 9/11

until it comes our next week they did start this rumor in the other 18k pages in the audit that they said is bad they won’t revel it

They’ve literally talked about SM new gg knowing the exact amount of members and how they look who’s to say they wouldn’t have done the same thing to them if HYBE wasn’t exposed

Quote from Tatiana1820

honestly, it wouldn't suprise me at all. one might think with all this accusations maybe we are overdoing it but honestly, it's hybe who is obessessed with the whole industry . to the point of tracking yaoi fanfic ships or smth . they are totally insane.

it's more than raisonsable to think what you wrote and it sounds very realistic and logical as well. it completely falls into hybe's pattern of behaviour towards their rivals and specially towards SM.

aespa if anything have been hybe greatest victimes right after newjeans. newjeans case is worse because hybe is literally threatening of destrying their carrier as a parent compagny, but aespa also had its share and that beforer they even debuted probably.

It had to come from a source inside the industry because they mentioned her stage name Karina that’s fishy I’m sorry! And now it’s coming out HYBE was leading the hate train for them at other times

I think HYBE has been playing chess a lot longer than people realise

Quote from Aeicy

they very well could be

How I wish they reveal the other 18K pages of this audit expose them for all wrong they’ve done!

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

I don't think so, I think the public was just pissed that SM abandoned RV at the time of the Irene scandal.

And at that time, they overexposed Karina compared to the rest of the members.

This started before aespa’s official debut the only exposure Karina had was that dance in Taemin’s Want performance the public didn’t even know who she was then just predebut fans

Also my correction they weren’t called HYBE yet I think just Bighit at the time with Source maybe others too not sure

Quote from Blossomin88

Maybe, just maybe, because there was no Hybe yet in 2020?

I just corrected it and it’s not a fact it’s just my theory I’ve thought on for a little while now

Quote from Owned_by_Irene

I think No because HYBE didn’t have a gg yet. But as Aespa peaked some of the hate and tabloids by Dispatch might be due to HYBE’s insistence

True! But counterargument HYBE didn’t have a gg when aespa performed at Coachella and they led that hate train but LFM did debut a month or 2 after
