#FUCK hybe

[celli-ohs]

worded beautifully i couldn’t have said it better myself!!

BREAKING MY SILENCE

tw: mentions of mental health, death and grief, exploitation, body images, appearance issues, bullying.

It's a funny title, but it's the most proper (for me) to speak about what's surrounding HYBE (also, I'm only speaking from the groups I stan, ENHYPEN, BTS, and Tomorrow By Together, but this goes for all the artists of this company from the 3rd generation to the 5th generation).

As a BTS fan since 2015, when it was just BigHit Entertainment, I was genuinely proud of how the company rose from a small label to a powerhouse, all thanks to BTS and their journey. And let me tell you—it was wild! But over time, my pride turned into disappointment, and I stopped supporting HYBE altogether (only the groups). This latest controversy confirms the doubts I’ve had for years.

HYBE’s recent actions feel like a slap in the face to all of us who supported them. The leaked internal documents, part of their so-called “Weekly Music Industry Report,” didn’t just show competitive market insights—they were filled with disrespectful comments toward young idols across the industry, even toward their own groups like ENHYPEN and others under Belift Lab and HYBE's umbrella.

Speaking of Belift, we just don't like that company AT ALL, and I just want to list a few things that I remember they've done as an Eggie:

Overworking and Health Concerns: Sunghoon fainting at the JFK airport, Heeseung tiredness at the concert where he was criticized for "not giving his 100% and him apologizing when he came back to SK, Jay's knee issues that they hide for months, Jake's grandma sadly passing away and having him working on fan meetings, lives, and more, not letting him go to Australia for a while or grieve

Lack of Promotion and Publicity Missteps: We know this; no need to explain.

Plagiarism Controversy and Image Management: Belift Lab dragged ENHYPEN into the narrative when it occurred ILLIT and NewJeans, suggesting that another group was copying ENHYPEN’s uniform concept (this is actually too stupid).

Fan Engagement and Communication: Inconsistent updates and a perceived lack of appreciation for the fan base

Member-Specific Issues: Jay being Belift punching bag, Sunoo not having a brand deal, them not even taking action in rumors regarding the members, not caring about the d word threats the member will receive for their birthdays, and more that I truly forced myself to erase from my mind because it even hurt me.

Now, TXT, we, the fans, were voicing concerns about the group's management, promotional strategies, and overall treatment. Do we see how it's literally the same?

To see a company stoop to this level, making harsh, belittling remarks about artists’ appearances and choices (which, btw, the majority of them are fucking minors), feels wrong on every level. I mean, what happened to the values HYBE once claimed to hold? This is beyond disappointing—it’s a betrayal to the fans, the artists, and everything they were supposed to stand for.

HYBE’s first response? Trying to brush it off as a “compilation of public opinions,” as if that somehow made it okay, like, Bitch, we know you're money hungry; don't care about the idols that are literally your main source of income. Please give it a rest.

It felt like they weren’t even acknowledging the impact these words would have. They finally apologized, but it’s too little, too late—WAY TOO LATE. The damage is done, and no PR statement can make up for the harm caused to young artists who pour their hearts into their work. This whole situation has hit a nerve for so many of us who once stood by this company. It’s disheartening and, frankly, infuriating to see how far they’ve fallen.

For now, I’m speaking up because this isn’t the company I once admired, and I'm getting so concerned for the new groups that we know. HYBE needs to reflect deeply on what they truly stand for, and as fans, we need to hold them accountable. They owe it to the artists, and they owe it to us. PLEDIS, BELIFT, SOURCE MUSIC, ADOR and BIGHIT

If you let me, I'm going to be poetic with this last message:

To: BTS, ENHYPEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, FROMIS9, SEVENTEEN, BOYNEXTDOOR, TWS, and NEWJEANS

You deserve to be celebrated for who you are, not just for what you achieve.

You deserve an agency that cares, not one that leaves you alone when the world finds a way to push you down.

You deserve to have your voices heard, your talents recognized, and your mental well-being prioritized.

In a world that often measures worth in numbers and accolades, remember that your value transcends metrics.

You are artists, creators, and innovators, and your stories deserve to be told with compassion and respect.

You deserve the space to grow, to learn, and to be authentic without fear or pressure.

They are not just pretty faces that sell stadiums; they are young souls whose dreams burn brightly yet are gradually being smothered by the weight of expectations and industry pressures. Each smile hides a story of late nights, relentless practice, and the yearning to be understood beyond the glitter and glamour. Once vibrant with passion and energy, they now navigate a world that too often reduces their worth to mere marketability, risking the essence of who they are. These were once children who dared to dream, pouring their hearts into every note and every performance, yet find themselves wrestling with the reality that their passion is slowly being crushed beneath the relentless grind of fame.

They deserve to be cherished not just for their appearances but for the depth of their artistry and the richness of their humanity. They gave up a lot of things to be who they are, and that's how the agency repays them?

haven’t seen lots of awareness brought to this in enhablr yet but i really wish all engenes could also post about & talk about the mistreatment they’re getting from belift. the way they haven’t had not even five days of rest the past two years is so concerning. the way the members’ healths are getting worse is so terrifying. they’re all so horrendously overworked and exhausted. we all saw jay’s injury and how they STILL made him perform despite the fact that his knee was injured. and now he’s on a hiatus that probably won’t even last that long considering how greedy their company is.

jake had to sit out from two different stages in their most recent concert and couldn’t even open his eyes when he was present for the other stages. heeseung can’t even properly perform with how overworked and exhausted he is. riki even spoke out about fainting in his weverse (whether it was a mistranslation or joke or not) this is all so terrifying. it’s so concerning because every engene knows how much enha love music & how much they love performing and having concerts for their fans.

their schedules for the past two years have literally been inhumane. comeback after comeback. tour after tour. event after event. concert after concert. belift is treating the members like they’re literal robots and the only people that can actually stop this is engenes themselves the longer you demand for a rest for the boys for no more comebacks and even boycott the higher of a chance enha will have a BREAK.

so please as an engene SPEAK OUT. repost reblog on here on every platform retweet on X share posts on tumblr use hashtags do whatever you can in your power for enha because it’s so clear they don’t have anyone else but us engenes when their own company is treating them like this.

mind you. they’re planning on making enhypen have another comeback at the final quarter of this year. AGAIN.

LET ENHYPEN REST ‼️

[yeonzzzn]

I swear to FUCKING CHRIST enhypen not even TWENTY FOUR HOURS AGO finished a 401 day long tour and haven’t even stepped foot back in korea yet and already have another tour starting IN FUCKING OCTOBER?!?!

like belift be so fucking for real. these boys are NOT machines. a month is NOT enough time to let them catch up on the rest they need after how long fate / fate+ went on.

pissed off isn’t even close to the feeling that I have right now. every single one of them have said how exhausted they were after this tour has ended and have shown MULTIPLE signs on how tired they are.

this cannot keep going. they need their time off.

FUCK HYBE AND FUCK BELIFT

[wooziorgans]

hey uh. in light of my most recent post (miami bf woozi texts) i would like to just come out n say that i do not support this project between svt n dj khaled at ALL.

just a reminder that dj khaled is a Palestinian man who sold his soul to zionsits and is also potentially a suspect on p diddys list. and i want to say that the timing of this project is incredibly suspect on hybe/pledis’s part after svt “allegedly” showed solidarity w Palestine at lollapoloza (let’s be real, sos is abt palestine,,, heavily censored bcs hybe would Never let woozi or anyone else for that matter openly speak up abt Palestine).

the only people I’ve seen be excited for this potential collab is carats, and that’s because they Don’t Know abt all the shit khaleds done/is involved with.

i mean, the half naked women welcoming svt is objectively funny as fuck but it’s also so incredibly uncomfortable. going from the world of being a kpop idol to the western music industry. those are two totally different worlds. and woozi was visibly uncomfortable inside of that club but I digress.

and while we’re here, let’s talk about the absurd amount of racism directed towards svt for just existing in miami as kpop idols. “why r we drinking w kpop” literally fuck you. the western (american) music industry is rooted in white supremacy and misogyny. and it’s DISGUSTING that hybe would (knowingly) subject svt to this kind of treatment,,, especially w someone like dj khaled.

hybe is profiting off of your naivety. do not support this project.

(edit: i totally misread the lyrics to sos. it’s abt drug abuse, from what i now understand, but I interpreted it as something else. there is still the double meaning potential. check comments for a full explanation)

[taehyungsbreadcheeks]

It's been a battle that we've seen, and he's spoken about it, but every day, I'm thankful that Tae seems to have such a strong mental fortitude.

My wish for him is to have all his dreams realized, big or small! They've done so much to try and dull his shine, but we are still blinded ✨️ every time he creates, sings, dances, acts, etc.

I hope he always feels our love! ❤️

[omagadtt]

I guess you heard all shit about tae and jk. I want to support our boys.

WORLD DOESNT DESERVE THEM

Fuck hybe

What’s wrong with people?

SUPPORT TAE

SUPPORT JK

SUPPORT TAEKOOK

[poisonousjk]

When I say a lot of what you see is fake or feels forced and that the majority of what you see on camera is work this is what I’m talking about.

[iknowleeknow]

OK YALL HEAR ME OUT...HYBE NEEDS SOME SERIOUS HELP REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF THEYRE IDOLS.

Like where is the rest belift is supposed to be able to give enhypen. I hate belift smsm for whatever tf they're doing with enhypen. It's like hybe in general does not care about their idols' health.

Beomgyu had fractured his leg

Hanni (I think) had fractured her leg

And the negligence of enhypen members' health.

Not only that..hybe is also targeting skz. Calling them short..?! They're so fucking successful that's the only thing they can say against skz (but we love short kings UwU). The day of one if the skz shows..hybe said hyunjin was a bad dancer. A bad dancer.? Helloooo??? Nu-uh he aint..I'm.not against hybe ggs but they need to train they're girls' vocals( not all ggs and female idols) before they can say anything about other. grps.They have a new controversy like every 3 months.Im not against Hybe but they need to take care of their idols first before commenting on others.

I'm happy for the new ENHYPEN comeback 'No doubt'..I'm excited..but like..I'm not even over their romance untold comeback..it was barely 3 months ago..we would've been fine if enha didn't have a comeback..they need some fucking rest.

[cardboardheartss]

hybe…

I really wish I could do a reading for you all but I can’t, and I sincerely apologize.😕💔🤲🏽

[lokisasylum]

HYBE/BH getting exposed for not only encouraging hate towards PJMs for speaking up against the mistreatment Jimin has been suffering for years under them, but also ORCHESTRATING EVERY SINGLE HATE CAMPAIGN in AND out of the fandom for YEARS, but now that Jimin fans are being LOUD and vocal about it they're trying to turn the situation around and make it seem like "Jimin gets hate because of his fans".

NO, SIR.

YOU'VE been measured, YOU'VE been judged & exposed with your pants down.

We ain't going NOWHERE & if Jimin goes, we go with him.

[bamzies]

i'll never understand anyone who chooses to hate on Newjeans because of this whole situation and is siding with HYBE when they are so clearly and visibly being mistreated by this company, (many idols too!!!) including their new CEO who is such an openly bad person.

I see a lot of people (grown-ass women especially) throwing shade towards Hanni, throwing hate and slandering Newjeans for coming out about their mistreatment during their live by saying they're 'disrespecting their higher-ups'.... are you supporting the abuse of these young girls? By being so against Newjeans for speaking up and standing up for themselves you are also condoning the mistreatment of idols (your faves included).

And what's crazy is the minute Jungkook indirectly showed his support for Newjeans y'all wanted to switch up and act like you were always on their side, the minute a man had a say yall wanted to act like he was speaking up for all idols as if you weren't shitting on NewJeans for doing the exact same thing for themselves. (not to say that what Jungkook did wasn't good enough, it's good to see support shown from bigger idols but to completely switch up just because he spoke up is insane and weird) You guys have been trying to shit on these girls for SOOO long and for what?

[karinasbaby]

there’s absolutely zero explanation as to why belift would actually send enhypen to another tour when fate plus (which was ALREADY a very unnecessary tour) ended not even 24 hours.

i genuinely can’t seem to wrap my head around this entire situation because there’s no sane company that would overwork their own artists like this. not when they’re sick. not when they can’t even properly perform and give it their all. not when they themselves have spoken about how draining and tiring these past two years have been for them.

it’s so absurd. so weird and so wrong of belift to send them on a tour ignoring engenes protests. to ignore the trending tags and all the protest trucks. it’s insane because when this was related to female dancers belift didn’t waste a single second and removed them. but when it comes to their artists’ fucking HEALTHS they turn blind to everything.

enhypen’s treatment right now is so ridiculously inhumane. they’ve been on tour with consistent comebacks in between for the past two years. they’ve already had concerts in japan recently with fate & fate+ there’s genuinely NO NEED for them to have a ‘japan world tour’ after fate+. there’s no other explanation to this other than belift being money hungry.

to think that enha will be wrapped up in another tour with possible comeback schedule along with award show performances & practices is just so crazy. i can’t even imagine how cramped their schedule already is and it’s only about to become worse.

please for the love of everything if enhypen are coming anywhere near your vicinity with this tour (that will hopefully get cancelled) please don’t GO! please boycott. please let this be more reasons for you to boycott everything related to enhypen, belift and hybe.

please give enhypen a fucking break. trend this on twitter. post on twitter with the hashtags. reblog every tumblr post related to this. trend the hashtags everywhere. repost the posts asking for a break on twitter. please please please boycott i beg the boys don’t deserve this they genuinely don’t.

let enhypen rest PLEASE.

[selleprotection]

i don’t think some people are realizing the seriousness of the belift and hybe situation. if this is how they talk about their idols and those screenshots is all we’ve seen to be saying this already, im sure there’s so much worse to it and so much more unfortunately that we haven’t seen yet. this just reveals the tiniest peek into how probably majority of the idols under those companies (including sm btw) are being treated. they been after sunghoon since 2022 that’s just really sick and concerning to be very fucking honest. they haven’t heard about morals i see. we need to open our eyes and genuinely do something with this, they are sick for thinking they can get away with this

[your-local-skz-fan]

Hybes fucked up. I swear if this ruins the groups under it ill be more pissed than i am. Making fun of stray kids cause of their height and especially changbin? Like the ceo of hybe didnt try to buy stray kids off of jyp. Glad stray kids didn't accept it.

Compairing changbins height to yeonjun, his friend, if fucked up. Also the fact bangchan said that he hopes people can see them and stuff is just sad, cause now we know chan knows.

Stray kids don't deserve this. They've done nothing wrong. They are amazing people, handsome, funny and worth living for. We are so lucky to be alive at the same time as them.

So hybe, non respectfully, go fuck yourself.😀

#leavestraykidsalone

(And other groups they are hating on such as twice, blackpink and so on.)

[mapsareforbraindeads]

hey engenes. are we sending protest trucks? are we contacting belift personally? or are we just spreading hashtags and hoping it does something? i’ve heard whispers of boycotting the next comeback, but that will make them work harder because they want to do what will make engenes happiest. we need to raise funds for trucks or billboards or something. because i don’t think belift is going to let our boys rest any time soon.

[toodle-coups]

I just want to vent really quickly. I have to say that I love SVT and will forever be a carat. But it’s my love for SVT that makes me want to say this.

The SVT Right Here world tour is pissing me off. Because it’s not SEVENTEEN right here and neither is it a world tour. It isn’t even a US tour, more like a US pitstop. And I know I have no room to complain when other countries don’t have any dates, but I feel like that’s the right time to complain. Cause wtf? Their last tour had 29 shows and some performances in other parts of Asia.

And NOW 2 days before tickets go on sale you are going to announce the fact that Jeonghan and Jun both won’t be attending any of the tour dates. Like what do you mean 2 members can’t make it to the SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE world tour?!?! I just feel like there was a lack of planning to ensure that this final tour before enlistment would be OT13 and allow carats worldwide to see them all. Like we are not getting OT13 again until like 2030 or something like that.

I 1000% understand that Jeonghan needs time for himself and his family before signing 18 months of his life away. I just thought that they would’ve started the world tour in July/August so they could be done by October and give him time to relax.

I also get actor Jun wanting to continue his own journey. But he really couldn’t audition for a role where filming wouldn’t start til next year or even a lil bit later? Like he has so many years to act while the rest of SVT enlist. And even after.

These conflicts just make me feel like this tour + album release weren’t planned with intention and care. Especially Jun’s conflict because when auditioning for a role you would usually state any prior commitments (so why not mention all the concerts as a prior commitment?). And we all knew this was the year for Jeonghan’s enlistment soooo… why not plan it in advance??

I still plan on going, I’m just not as excited as I had been. Idk if I really explained my annoyance well. And I don’t want to seem ungrateful. I just would’ve hoped to have an OT13 goodbye🤷🏾‍���️ Guess I’ll just have to wait til 2030 to see them all again.

How does everyone else feel about this??
