I think Hybe is sabotaging Kpop groups!

This is a 'conspiracy' theory that hasn't left my mind during this whole year!

So many chartings, specially on spotify and melon all throughout the year made NO SENSE AT ALL. 2025 might be the strangest year of all time...

SO MANY TOP or RISING groups and artist barely or didn't even ENTER top 100 and top 200...

It started with:

Jisoo: spotify and melon

Lisa: she was so obviously sabotaged on spotify

then continued with MOST of Jennie's solos: she sold ALOT of albums btw, but her songs were literally absent from the charts!)

then KIOF: not melon entry

then Idle: hello? NOT even a top 100 entry !?

then aespa : on spotify specially, like it was A DISASTER, and now their solos on melon as well (specially karina)

then Meovv: both melon and spotify

and now ADP: (on spotify), mind you their teaser alone had 4m views on the k charts twit, like it MADE NOISE, even JK promoted them

I mean this is just ALOT?! Like these artists are literally THE INDUSTRY right now, well for the most part... they're top soloists, top groups, top rising acts, ALL failing to even ENTER CHARTS??? HELLO? Like I'm talking about giants in the industry and strong rising acts.

It is very difficult to make sense of that really, why would they struggle to even ENTER charts all at onces and all in the SAME year.

It's like I definitly discern a very strange pattern .

Yes not everyone can top charts, or do it every time they drop, but many of the acts I cited were literally BURIED on the charts. And all in the SAME YEAR. It's like the intent behind this potential sabotage was not even to make ways for the groups of their own company to dominate the charts, but literally to BURY this groups. Even HUMILIATE them.

On top of hate trains and other smear compaings... whose main target were BP and aespa of course!

The latest oddity was Meovv not even entering melon hot 100, when their latest song was in the top 20! Specially when their newest song is objectively their best tt to date. It just doesn't make sense. It was also a crucial moment in the group's developement and of course this happens...

Same with the Karina drop which went kinda viral on tiktok just from fancams alone but didn't even enter the top 100...

Like this is RIDICULOUS and just very SUSPICIOUS...

And well well well:

- Who made NEGATIVE profits this year, while making hundread millions of wons??? Yeah, HYBE!

- Who was in possession of a big PR company? Hybe!

- Who had an 18k reports on the whole industry exposed to the National Assembly?? Therefor exposed for being OBSESSED with literally everyone, big acts and total nugus... Hybe again!!

They are the perfect cultprit, cause only they have the motives, the financial ability and would also be the primary beneficiary of the crime! Moroever alot of the victimes are their direct and biggest rivals throughout all generations...

At this point, if my theory is true, Kpop will never thrive again, specially in the west, unless Bango and his minions are disposed off! His hold on spotify through his money and connections with Scooter might be the biggest threat kpop EVER encountered! Specially for a future expansion or potential revival .

Also nobody noticed but it was Bang moving the cameras in that GMA performance

well he paid for the smear compain 1000%

Quote from Varenka

"HYBE spent millions to decrease streaming numbers of others."

Looks like they'll go out of business on their own if these are their moves.

Well looking at their constant NEGATIVE benetifs they're indeed heading there

BTS won't save their *ss forever

oh the yg 'push' definitly failed, but don't worry, he might do better next year with all the money he racked with bp's concerts

but they sudden big spotify decrease is indeed sus as well ...

edit: oh sh*t wrong quote! Tru-Multistan

Sabotaging Apt into a worldwide megahit and Grammy nom

Sabotaging Jennie into charting all year on Spotify

Sabotaging Jump into being the fastest girlgroup song to ever hit 300m

I wish Bango would sabotage Twice like this

Obviously he doesn't have the power to sabotage bruno, and APT was like a surprise drop honeslty... it really came out of nowhere...

For like jennie, it is actually a miracle that jennie did so well this year. Her western connections must have helped her cause i don't know how should would make it otherwise... And she probably paid some money to Melon to counter attack her sabotage.

Even BP doing so well was kinda a shock, not just doing well in this enviorronement but doing SO WELL.

Despite that, they had major full albums drop to face right in the week of their release, surprise drops too...and from MAJOR big names in the western industry. Due to that, they didn't charted as high as they could on the bbhot 100. And they also went through various glitches and in my opinion sabotage attempts on spotify.

Obviously, they killed it on apple and other platforms, so i guess it would look really strange if they didn't chart on spotify at all. And their us company must have given them a good amount of support as well.

Like only DIGIMONS or HUGE established acts seems to be able to escape total sabotage, on either front, west or east. Like BP and Jennie did obviously great on the west front. But all Jennie's songs struggled to enter top 100 except Like Jennie. Like she charted better on spotify LOL.

Or ADP and aespa who were TOO big and TOO hot to be erased from the charts all toghether.

On the other side, it's MUCH harder on the rising artists, like Meovv, Kiof etc... And even ADP on spotify.

That's why I'm saying, this situation is the most concerning for the FUTURE of kpop. Cause it seems all possibility of western or US expansio specially seems to be BARRED by Hybe and their scooter connections...

It's a complex situations, yet still full of very suspicious if not blatant patterns.

Tatty, Tatty, Tatty... I feel you need a lie down. Most of your ramblings make no sense. If it were solely about their GGs, I'd understand. However, your arguments are like shooting at a barrel of fish, as you're all over the place.

Come back to us once you've cooled off, okay 👍

oh you're only starting to get to know me buddy

you waren't even there at the heart of the hybe/ador conflict

or when i used to make aespa 24 mv's analysis threads

Quote from Jasque-O-Part2

Tbh it was a weird year, with KPDH, Blackpink, ADP, Woodz and later Nmixx dominating the charts for a long time.

And some of those songs will stay there for god knows till when.

well this element of SURPRISE seems to be very important to be able to make it this year, cause it might be that the BIG or SENSITIVE names were tightly and carefully targetted all along...

APT, KPDH, ADP all SURPISE drops or breakouts ...

and BP were just too big to be burried like that, but even their oustanding success was kind of a surprise. cause like they were gone for years you know... and people were getting tired of their sound.

Quote from KarimaJ

Jype definitely had a fall out with melon over chart manipulation so the accusations aren't unfounded. Who's funding it is up in the air.

the one who instigated the 18K report and burnt a huge amount of his company's money looks like the best suspect in my opinion...

moroever the kakao founder probably also made some deals with that man in order to get the most favorable outcome in his own case...

in the end, he hired k&c laywers, and bango DIDN'T testify against him. -> that might be a sign of collusion...

Quote from jeyikal307

Bango sabotaging Aespa on a platform that Aespa's parent company owns is crazy work

there was this little thing that happened, bango didn't testify against the founder, for various reasons...

plus i also have another theory that sm executive made a deal with hybe (for the use of their streaming farms) for their new gg h2h in exchange of weakening aespa. which does benefit sm in the long term as they are probably aiming at making their new gg BIG.

aespa are gonna renew pretty soon too, so like they don't need them to be TOO big either...

sm themselves are also sabotaging aespa this year .

Quote from jeyikal307

Bang after donning a Mission Impossible-style facial disguise in order to get SM to pick Rich Man as a title track

he is the one who ordered sm to cut the bridge out !

...

and anyway, he definitly sabotaged them of spotify

they were doing so much better on apple which is an harder chart to enter
