[+144, -8] Why is Hybe doing this... I thought they said they were "protecting" New Jeans
[+132, -5] ㅋㅋㅋ And yet look at how nice Bang Shi Hyuk is to camgirls ㅋㅋㅋ
[+90, -4] Bang Shi Hyuk and Min Hee Jin never should've met... Imagine a work environment where even Hybe employees feel so comfortable to hate on New Jeans so blatantly like this. That means that upper management is already giving them that treatment that everyone else feels okay to do it too. The entire company is messed up.
[+86, -8] I always wondered why New Jeans was behind all the other artists on the Hybe homepage when it's not even ordered by debut date
[+66, -3] Hybe-ya, I thought you said you cared about New Jeans
[+28, -4] With how much has already been exposed, the government needs to launch an investigation into Hybe. There are still minors in that group.
[+19, -5] Why would you do this to your own artist...

Article: Jang Hyung Woo journalist reveals recording "Hybe wants to downplay New Jeans' achievements"

[+246, -11] So this isn't even some after work hours conversation they had over drinks, someone from the marketing team actually called a journalist for business purposes to make this request... what kind of company is this?
[+181, -10] Imagine how badly this journalist felt for the girls that they felt the need to expose Hybe like this. What a comedy that Hybe's been whining about playing fair this whole time.
[+143, -3] This isn't some gossip mill journalist, this is an actual industry journalist who knew what they were doing by releasing this recording clip.
[+124, -8] Quite obvious how Hybe's been running their business now
[+103, -18] New Jeans find strength!!
[+41, -8] Hybe really makes you see just how dirty the industry can get. They've probably done every single illegal and malicious thing possible in the industry... acting like street alley thugs, just waiting for an alley they haven't taken over to ruin under their watchful eye. Their image is tanked.
[+38, -10] So I guess it's believable now that Hybe's been using media play for all those other accusations too? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+23, -7] Crazy how even the journalists are seeing that Hybe is playing so unfair behind the scenes that they'd rather turn down all the bribes from Hybe and put their own names on the line to expose them
[+16, -8] Aigoo, Hybe, another illegal act under your belt

[+354, -21] Hybe offered a golfing trip to the head of Seoul News on July 17th, which the head turned down for being inappropriate
[+295, -17] Even amidst all that controversy, Hybe insisted that Le Sserafim's Coachella performance was a grand success... and yet asked for New Jeans' Tokyo Dome concert to be downplayed?
[+204, -15] Considering the state of their stock prices, you'd think Hybe would be begging journalists to overplay the achievements of their own group, and yet they're asking journalists to actually say that their group is performing poorly... is this really a listed company?
[+167, -8] In the recording, the head revealed that Hybe said, "It seems like you guys don't like us. I think we need to do something to change your mind. Let's set a date and meet up. Let us make you ours (poseob)."
[+150, -9] Never in my life did I think I'd hear the word 'poseob' come out of the mouth of a Hybe marketing team. After all that talk about being there for New Jeans..
[+53, -7] Hybe, this is a breach of trust. What kind of company are you?
[+43, -10] Poor New Jeans.......
[+42, -10] Poor New Jeans.. they're still so young.. if this isn't group bullying, then what is it?
[+36, -5] Hybe's statement "They released the recording without consent from our marketing team" oh, just like how you released Min Hee Jin's personal Katalks without her consent? ㅋㅋ...

[+146, -19] Oh, why wouldn't you have any reason to downplay them? ㅋㅋ you know that the bigger New Jeans get, the bigger you'll have to payout to Min Hee Jin in put options ㅋ that's why you're hating on them every day and chasing out Min Hee Jin, no???
[+113, -10] Look at Hybe, committing another crime with their mouths again
[+89, -9] Oh, so if times weren't "sensitive", would you have gone ahead with the golf trip?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+78, -6] Hybe will be remembered in history as one of the most disgusting companies..
[+65, -7] I have heard of companies being accused of running anti campaigns against rival groups, but never have I seen a company be an anti to their own group like this
[+6, -1] We're good!!
[+1, -0] In what world does a company exist where a journalist who wrote a positive article about their group that shines them in a positive light bothers them so much that they then request the journalist to change it? You only do that to articles that put you in a negative light. Hybe, what an amazing company.
[+1, -0] Hybe, is all the media play you've been doing against New Jeans not considered downplaying them? Even stalkers wouldn't be so malicious to these girls, releasing private videos of them without consent while acting like you're "protecting" them to the public, tsk tsk
