Uh...but these aren't standard PR techniques. Not saying that HYBE is doing this but it's a very reasonable assumption. Companies drawing the public's attention from a problematic issue happens.
I doubt it. People are disregarding that that Eunseo's side filed a criminal complaint, which usually has a higher burden of proof than civil complaint and doesn't result in any financial payout for the plaintiff. Also, nothing that law firm has mentioned in their statement has been disapproved by HYBE. You can choose to trust their words more than the law firm but you can't say their words prove the law firm isn't telling the truth and vice versa. Also, HYBE didn't mention suing Eunseo. Not once afaik. Their statement in response to April rumors mentioned litigation but Eunseo was not the perpetrator in that.
We also don't know who reached out to negotiate. Law firm rep just said that they are talking, not who approached who and finally, the law firm has maintained from the start that they never wanted to go public. They only did so because HYBE chose to ignore them. So, it's highly likely if HYBE reached out, they would be open to negotiation.
But Hybe denied that there was no violence. The only thing that hybe has acknowledged is that Garam said words she shouldn't say. Then the law firm hasn't given their version of the facts yet they just accused hybe and said that Eunseo was receiving harassment online after hybe statement but never said what happened at school. Then they said they would release their evidence if hybe didn't apologize. Which is weird considering they didn't divulge or deny anything since the hybe statement.
