HYBE Internal Documents are NOT Reverse Viral Marketing

In an attempt to save the company’s plummeting reputation against the leak controversy of the infamous internal documents, HYBE recently conducted an interview, stating its denials against the reverse viral marketing accusations.

On November 12, a Korean media outlet, No Cut News of CBS, released an exclusive interview with the BTS parent label, HYBE. The interview was reportedly a part of the media outlet’s effort to follow up on the previous statement from Weverse Magazine that the notorious HYBE internal documents were compiled by a single person, former editor-in-chief Kang Myung Seok.

Therefore, CBS’s No Cut News contacted HYBE for an official statement regarding Weverse Magazine’s statement, asking for its official position and what kind of actions the company would take against the internal documents and its leaked content controversy.

Through this report, HYBE claimed its denials again that the internal documents are parts of the company’s reverse viral marketing strategy.

Further Explanation from HYBE

In the brief interview, HYBE declared to be in the same position as the previous statement from Weverse Magazine.

According to HYBE, Kang Myung Seok did everything by himself. He compiled HYBE internal documents as a separate project, independent from his duties as Weverse Magazine’s editor-in-chief. Everyone involved in the HYBE internal documents project was an individual unrelated to Weverse Magazine.

“The monitoring document was a separate task managed by the former editor-in-chief independently from Weverse Magazine production.

The personnel requested to handle the monitoring duties were members distinct from the Weverse Magazine production team, which is consistent with what we explained in the previous statement.”

Along with the denials against the internal documents, HYBE is also denying involvement with Kang Myung Seok and the reverse viral marketing allegation. HYBE stated that the company had suspended Kang Myung Seok and did not assign him to any task.

The writer of both HYBE internal documents and BTS 10th anniversary book is now on standby with no assigned duty. Not only that, but HYBE is also planning to take action against Kang Myung Seok.

“The former editor-in-chief is currently on suspension and not assigned to any tasks. We are reviewing the situation internally and will take appropriate action after this review.”

HYBE Claimed to Have Apologized Personally to Agencies’ CEOs

Finally, HYBE also claimed to have personally apologized to all the CEOs of the agencies whose artists’ names appeared in the internal documents.

“HYBE CEO Lee Jae-sang has been personally apologizing to the CEOs of each agency representing the artists mentioned in the document, either by phone or through an official letter in his name.”

Denials Against the Reverse Viral Marketing Accusations and Taking Legal Action

What’s more important, HYBE once again claimed denials against the reverse viral marketing accusations. It refers to the fact that the internal documents were compiled and used to create a strategy to increase HYBE reputation based on what’s viral about the artists.

HYBE is also planning to take action against those who have accused the company of doing so.

“Our company’s position remains that the claim of reverse viral marketing is untrue. We are currently reviewing the necessary actions regarding this false allegation.”

But despite all the denials, the Korean public continues to criticize HYBE. Instead of owning the mistake and repairing the company’s reputation, HYBE is allegedly conducting another witch-hunt to burn the whistleblower who revealed the company’s real face.
