ATEEZ's Hongjoong targets Bang Si Hyuk & HYBE... management office says ”no position”

Suspicions have surfaced that ATEEZ member Hongjoong has targeted HYBE and Chairman Bang Si Hyuk with his lyrics.
On the 15th, Hongjoong released a new digital single "SMB" with rapper Odetari, but the lyrics
This drew attention because the content was reminiscent of Bang Si Hyuk and HYBE. Hongjoong responded with comments such as, "It's fun to have nothing," "Act your age," and "Who do you think you are?"
The lyrics include "hitman," "If you have time to observe people, beware of surprise attacks," "Du-du-du, bang," and "They're taking your real name and insulting you."
The words "hitman" and "bang" in the title were reminiscent of Bang Si Hyuk's nickname "hitman bang," attracting attention.
HYBE was arrested in October last year after internal documents that blatantly criticized the looks of idols were uncovered during a parliamentary audit by the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee.
CEO Lee Jae Sang said, "I was shocked by the fact that it contained provocative expressions aimed at K-pop artists, added the creator's personal opinions and evaluations, and
"In particular, it was completely untrue and suspicions of reverse virality were added, and an innocent actor was accused of abusing the company," he said.
"We are very sorry and feel sorry for the misunderstanding and harm that the artists and members have suffered," the statement said.
We sincerely apologize to all of the artists in HYBE Music Group, who have been the target of criticism.
"I acknowledge the leadership's lack of awareness of the issue of the documents being shared, and as CEO, I have immediately stopped creating the monitoring documents. I hope that this issue will not occur again.
