Another jaw-dropping news has come from the magical Korean entertainment industry. Fang Shiyue, the boss of Hybe, a large Korean entertainment company, and his leading boy group BTS and popular girl group Lesserafim are rumored to be involved in a cult! There are even rumors that Min Hee Jin broke up with Hybe because she did not want to be associated with the cult. After the news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion on the Korean Internet. In response, hybe Entertainment quickly issued a statement stating that it would take legal measures against these false facts.
In addition, on the same day, in addition to being involved in the cult controversy, BTS was also involved in the controversy. It is reported that the accusation was launched from the verdict of a 2017 case in which BTS was extorted. According to news reports at the time, Prisoner A was a mobilizer of Bts’s rights and interests marketing activities, so he used this to extort money from Bts. In the content of the verdict published now, it is clearly written that “extorts money in the name of hoarding marketing” ”, This is contrary to BTS’s explanation of in 2017 that “Mr. A’s statement is one-sided and the expedient is typical Internet viral marketing”.
After the news broke, some Korean netizens posted that they discovered that hybe’s disbanded girl group gfriend and new generation girl group le sserafim seemed to be involved. According to the netizen, believers in "dahn world" worship the goddess of the universe "mago", which is the same name as the last single released by hybe's girl group gfrend before its disbandment, and the concept of the single is "walpurgis night" and the album The names are all related to religious activities.
Some netizens even believe that gfriend’s disbandment in May and le sserafim’s decision to debut on May 2 are related to a cult conspiracy, because “walpurgis night” (Walpurgis Night or St. Walpurgis Eve) falls in April In the religious celebrations from the evening of the 30th to May 1st, there will be projects such as burning witches to drive away evil, so some people think that gfriend ended with the concept of "witch", but le sserafim debuted one day after the Valpus Night event, It's no coincidence.

In addition, some netizens pointed out that Min Xizhen, the owner of Ador, the agency to which New Jesna belongs, had an internal conflict with the parent company Hybe because he did not want to get involved in a cult organization. What’s interesting is that it was Min Xizhen who suffered religious attacks in the last round, so this also caused a large number of netizens to complain that what was originally a business war has gradually turned into a supernatural and religious war, and even called on Korean editors to learn from it. one time.
In the face of criticism on the Internet, BTS stated that the water-filled judgment, misappropriation of concepts, cults and other doubts have no factual basis, and will take legal measures against any infringement of artists' rights. After the statement came out, a large number of Korean netizens left messages and ridiculed: "Well, go sue the judge who wrote the judgment", "Go sue the Ministry of Justice", "Can company judges also sue", "No wonder everyone says hybe poisoned Korean pop."
