You know what, I also once fell for the “at least Hybe is the better company than the big3” propaganda

I sometimes get that feeling with JYPE because they gave GOT7 their name back and the ex jypers seem relatively content but then I remember VCHA. No company is perfect.

It comes to us all 🤷‍♂️ We expext the best, then brcome disappointed when shit hits the fan 😮‍💨 TBH, I expected the company to be FOR music, not FOR the money. Turns out that image was because of MHJ, not Bongo 🙄

I think they were genuinely mostly ok when they were just Big Hit tbh.

I think they were genuinely mostly ok when they were just Big Hit tbh.

I think Bongo became punch drunkaa BTS became more sucfessful.

Bongo has moved with two different strategies since HYBE was founded, each failing in their goals:

1. Buy up the competition; untimately failed to buy SM.

2. Debut a group to eventually bag a Grammy; failed twice now

Now it's a question what the third strategy is...

Actually since they were Big Hit they were evil. They built army like a terrible fandom, entitled thinking their faves were hated by the big3, hated by big3 groups, as if BTS had nothing to eat, were all poor and won with the power of love for music and their fans, this was the red flag nobody was seeing and with this sick mentality when Big Hit became Hybe they just had/has the worst company stans ever that will ignore how trash and evil HYBE is bc they were alienated to believe they overcame the evil world and won....

All big companies are trash, they have no shame of using other people lives, work and passion and they use it without ethic.

Just because they know how to clean up the outside doesn’t mean they aren’t dirty on the inside.

It’s always those who claim to be “saintly” who are the most evil.

Hybe offers only one perk for idols - no trainee debt. Everything else, like working idols like pack mules, is pretty much the same as JYP and YG and the smaller labels. I feel nothing but pain for mah Izone girls at Hybe and Starshit who get like 3 days off for the whole year.

I think SM is clearly a tier higher in the toxic evil label category though, they literally invented and pioneered every abuse inflicted on idols since idol culture began in the 90s.

It's surprising that there are still people that defend Hybe with their lives.

I get liking Hybe groups, but the ones that defend the company?

It wasn't wrong tho.

There's no aspect from HYBE that's worse than Big 3's.

But there are some aspects HYBE's better.

Just don’t stan companies?

Company this, company that. People will do anything but just enjoy the music like a normal person.

I guess it's because of BTS and the narrative that went along with it that their CEO was more human, more enlightened, just 'one of the guys' not distant from his idol groups etc, and stans love to believe and spread that narrative.

But companies, especially big companies, need (and like) to make a profit, the bigger, the better, and after a while upper management will be making decisions that may be detrimental to the idol groups and other employees but that they think will be beneficial for the company.
