Hybe is not going to fall...or at least, not fast, their groups are too successful for that. If they don't make internal changes and ignore the public sentiment... When BTS disbands (or similar) they will slowly fade, to a much smaller position, like YG.
What is important here is that, with all these, maybe NJ can be free of them and be able to continue the group without a mass boycott or penalty fees.
Display MoreDid HYBE start doing such disgusting unethical practices only since recently, or have they been doing it since the days of Bighit and did not get exposed?
I don't think they got corrupt overnight.
Perhaps ExoLTaglist would know better, whether Bighit was suspected of shenanigans earlier in 2015- period.
No that LSM or YG are any angels, but still chubby BSH might have gotten away with no suspicion.
I'm a kpop dinosaur, so I remember.
They did the tagging their group to popular idols since the beggining (V looks like baekhyun, I remember that a lot and I wasn't an exo-l) and associating the group with Bigbang to the point they were tagged on all their youtube videos. Also l, remember articles and fans always associating them with BAP who were really popular then...Things like that...It was pretty aggresive but not uncommon in the industry.
The random hate and negative marketing tactics have existed everywhere for sure... I suspected Hybe/big hit of some things since 2018 now but back then,I always though it was crazy armys, to be fair.
