“Their Image Is Ruined!” Label Under Fire Over Handling Of BOYNEXTDOOR’s Controversy
In a tweet, the fan called out HYBE and called its security “Thugs.” The post has since gone viral and has been viewed over 300K times in less than an hour of its posting.
하이브는 경호팀이 아니라 깡패를 고용하나요?
다른 하이브 아티스트 출국날에 경호팀이 제 옷 잡고 집어던져서 병원갔더니 골절이라고 해서 깁스했습니다.
이미 연예인이고 경호팀이고 다 떠났는데 고객센터가 있는것도 아니고 문의할 창구가 없어 그냥 혼자 똥밟았다 생각하고 https://t.co/bE7Nv1WIS9 pic.twitter.com/1VX6JAE0sU

Does HYBE hire gangsters instead of security guards? On the day a HYBE artist was departing on an airplane, the group’s security grabbed my shirt and threw me, so I went to the hospital, and they said I had a fracture. I’m now in a cast.

The fans included in her original tweet a photo of herself in a cast as well as a hospital diagnosis as proof.

The fan then revealed that nobody from HYBE’s team checked to see if she was alright and had actually tried to stay silent so that BOYNEXTDOOR wasn’t affected by the incident.
아티스트에게 누가될까 싶어 별다른 말 없이 끙끙 앓고 지냈습니다.
열흘정도 지난 후에 건너건너 어떻게 경호팀에 연락이 닿게돼서 말했더니 그걸 왜 이제서야 말하냐고 그 당시에 말했으면 조치를 했을거라고 되려 우기더라고요…?

The celebrity and security team had already left, and there was nowhere to get help, so I just stayed quiet so that I wouldn’t negatively affect the group. Then, after 10 days or so, a member of the security team contacted me, and when I told him, he got upset at me for not telling him sooner and claimed if I did, they would have done something…?

The fan then revealed that the security guard made it seem like the whole incident was her fault.
제가 눈에 엑스레이가 달린것도 아니고 당시에 근육통인지 골절인지 어떻게 진단하나요..?
그리고 아티스트 보호를 위해서 어쩔수 없이 한거라 고의성은 없으니 자기들 잘못은 아니란식으로 말하던데 하이브 의전팀은 늘 아티스트 보호를 명목으로 팬들을 이렇게 패고 집어던지고 뼈를 부러트리나요?

It’s not like I have X-rays on my eyes or anything. How am I supposed to know that I suffered a fracture? And the security guard made it seem like this was my fault and claimed their actions were necessary to protect the artist, so I want to ask HYBE — Does HYBE’s security team always use protecting the artist as an excuse to beat up, throw, and break fans’ bones?

Netizens reacted to the news with shock and horror. Fans unilaterally condemned HYBE and demanded change.
Security? LOL, that’s what you call security? HYBE is so amazing. Screw the security team, the label needs to apologize. This is the first time that I am watching the video. He literally just chucks her. Wow. Please sue. They are gangsters. Why call themselves anything else? Fans have been complaining about their security for a while. Let’s all stand against them together. Crazy b@stards. Crazy. I bet there are so many men who choose to be security guards because they enjoy beating up weaker people.
What are your thoughts?
