Following the release of HYBE’s internal report, which contained negative comments about several groups including aespa and NMIXX, SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan has taken a public stance against the company.
Seungkwan’s Statement and Haewon’s Letter
In a recent post, Seungkwan expressed his disapproval of the report and uploaded a photo of a letter he received from NMIXX’s Haewon. The letter, written by Haewon, likely addressed the negative comments made about NMIXX in the report.
Public Reaction and Controversy
Seungkwan’s actions have sparked widespread discussion and debate among fans. While some applaud his courage in speaking out against HYBE, others have criticized him for “dragging in innocent girl group members” into the controversy.
HYBE’s Response
HYBE has yet to issue an official statement regarding the controversy surrounding the internal report and Seungkwan’s response.
The Impact on K-Pop
This incident highlights the complex dynamics within the K-Pop industry, particularly the power imbalances between agencies and artists. It also raises questions about the ethics of internal reports and the impact of negative comments on artists’ mental health.
