”驚くほど不細工”HYBE、アイドル外見品評内部文書でまな板の上に
”Shockingly ugly” HYBE under siege due to internal documents criticizing idols' appearances
While Kim Tae-ho, CEO of BELIFT LAB and CEO of HYBE, attended a parliamentary audit, internal HYBE documents were revealed that candidly described how idols' appearances were evaluated, causing a stir.
On the 24th, Kim Tae-ho appeared as a witness at the National Assembly Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee's comprehensive parliamentary audit. On that day, Min Hyun-bae, a member of the Democratic Party, asked Kim Tae-ho if HYBE was an artist.
He asked whether the government was doing a good job of protecting human rights. During this process, Rep. Min Hyun-bae revealed internal documents from HYBE's "Weekly Music Industry Report." The report in question was about HYBE and
The report was available to all the label employees who attended, and contained serious criticism of the appearance of underage artists.
Comments included, "They don't have the facial features of Lena," "They've had terrible plastic surgery," "This tends to show up in relation to appearance and sex appeal," "They're all surprisingly ugly," and "They're all surprisingly ugly."
In response, Rep. Min Hyun-bae said, "The information is too explicit. It includes criticism of their appearance. HYBE's 'Sustainable Management Report' states that they respect the human rights of their employees, but they are not protecting human rights.
CEO Kim Tae-ho responded, "We are involved in the K-pop industry. We have seen multiple reactions to the artists belonging to HYBE and to the general public. The document in question is
I don't remember. I remember it was a report prepared by our company." Rep. Min Hyun-bae responded, "There are negative expressions, such as evaluations of appearance. The problem is that these expressions are aimed at minors.
It violates the guidelines for protecting rights in the pop culture industry," but Kim Tae-ho responded, "I don't think so."
After the National Assembly audit, the public was shocked to see the document. It contained explicit language directed at underage artists and other entertainment.
The article even contained criticism of Entertainment's artists, which was disappointing. The public, seeing this, immediately criticized HYBE, putting them on the chopping block.
