K-Netizens Stirred As NewJeans’ Parent Accuses Chairman Bang Of Snubbing Member Greetings
Earlier today, a parent of one of the NewJeans members asserted that HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk failed to acknowledge the greetings of the members.
In a conversation with Ilgan Sports, a parent of one of the NewJeans members discussed the ongoing disagreement from the parents’ viewpoint.
During the discussion, the parent revealed, “HYBE’s Chairman Bang Si-hyuk didn’t even greet our kids, which seems to be a similar experience for other kids after their debut,” and “One child was even in an elevator with him, and he didn’t acknowledge the greeting.”
As per the parent, Bang Si Hyuk allegedly ignored the NewJeans members despite their attempts to greet him by speaking to him and making eye contact. When the issue was brought up again, an HYBE official responded by suggesting that “Chairman Bang might have face blindness.”
The parent disagreed, arguing that even if Bang Si Hyuk couldn’t recognize the members, he should have still heard their greetings and responded, as it’s common courtesy to greet someone back.
K-netizens gathered on a popular online platform to discuss this new claim of Bang Si Hyuk ignoring NewJeans’ members. Many criticized his alleged behavior as immature and expressed worries for the members involved.
Korean internet users shared their thoughts by commenting:
“Wow lol, young children get hurt even if they greet their teacher and their teacher ignores them. But he did it multiple times and on different occasions. They must have been so sad and hurt that they even told their parents.”
“Si Hyuk. So childish.”
“So crazy. lol. Si Hyuk you really are lower than I’d imagined. How were you able to grow your business being so petty like that lol. The most basic courtesy is to receive someone’s greeting. Just give NewJeans to Min Hee Jin.”
“You shouldn’t be like when you’re the adult.”
“The girls are so young. What is he doing?”
“When HYBE gets rid of Min Hee Jin, NewJeans will become like GFriend in no time.”
“This is so unfortunate.”
“I’m so disappointed with Bang Si Hyuk.”
“Don’t torture NewJeans anymore and let them free.”
“There are only bad stories about Bang Si Hyuk.”
“This is very similar to the FIFTY FIFTY incident.”
