Do you think no one actually cares about these HYBE leaks?

There is k-pop news in my country

But usually it's aimed at very young peeps

Anyone who says they don't care is lying. Every single significant group is part of the leaks. Who are these people stanning if none of these groups interest them? I'll get bored in a couple of days too but not right now.

i'm not bothered by it, not a single one of my faves is on that list

They got like 10,000 pages left, they'll get to whoever your favs are eventually.

millions of HYBE stans don't care

Everyone and their mothers care and if they say they don't then they are liars

When people start to cope with "nobody actually cares" you know it's actually legit.

Here are some shit that has already resulted from all this :

- hybe underreporting their waste and having to pay ~$100K they "mistakenly" dodged, wich may never have been discovered because they were supposed to opperate under an exemption thanks to some good-business award

- an award that is getting looked at, with the NA demanding that the labor ministry give a second look to the case and explain itself (big deal because, again, the award comes with a few privileges wrt business/taxes and so on)

- the hybe coo / belift ceo guy straight up admitted to "sajaegi" ("selling" an album to a retailer with the promise and expectation that they would buy it back at full price, just to drive up initial sales numbers)

- hybe getting roasted over their HR, especially concerning minor idols, when Korea adopted stricter guidelines about that in 2023, wich may result in legal action

- the files wich may give ammuniion to mhj/nj/anyone else wanting to take a shot and has already gotten a boycott started from the carats (17 fandom), though we will have to see how evective it is.

So several governmental institutions are or will be on their back, their moneybags are rebelling and any future legal case against them will be able to use these leaks. That's not "it's a nothing burger, nobody cares~~".

I'm waiting for them to come for Day6

Just ask any akp troll to make a thread about them and you'll get a HYBE report

I don't care.

I know it's not the interesting answer but it's always time that will tell. If there are long term consequences then it was truly big. If it blows over then it was just a momentary enjoyment for people.

tbh, I don't care about it to follow it after the first wave of news last week.

I got other shit going on IRL so I've just gone back to using kpop as a fun escape, so listening to the music, watching some videos, goofy idol sns shit etc.

This whole debacle is more behind the scenes "politics" stuff. I can't change it, I can't impact it and it's not what is interesting me in kpop right now.

So... don't care.

Both ILLIT and Le Sserafim massively underperformed on domestic charts this comeback.

People can say what they want but you can’t pretend that this scandal isn’t somewhat affecting them. It’s everywhere in Korean media like The Qoo, Nate, Instiz, Daum, Naver etc. Literally all the top posts are about this leaked document attacking other idols. There are some JYP, SM and Triple S training staff posting about it on their IG. (They quoted parts of the doc that were bashing their groups).

When even korean news outlets are reporting on it…yeah I don’t think this is your typical scandal. I fear it’s going to get worse before it gets better especially as the general assembly continue to publish different pages of said document to the public. 20,000 pages…let that sink in.

I think people will care in the future too, bc even tho every company had their fair share of shit, none was able to be caught in 4k like this lol word for word, not just by journalists investigations.

it may not be that nobody cares

it's that nobody cares enough to do something about it

ranting and raving is one thing but putting one's neck on the line is another thing completely
