The discharge of inside paperwork from HYBE has lately been a sizzling subject. Throughout these paperwork, there have been many Okay-Pop teams not below HYBE Labels mentioned by the corporate, and lots of have been talked about in ways in which weren’t so complimentary.
Here’s a record of the teams that have been included and why.
1. RIIZE
The reviews talked about RIIZE a number of occasions, with feedback on Anton‘s expertise and Wonbin‘s seems to be.
Wonbin’s look had already raised eyebrows throughout KCON as a result of his entrance and profile pictures have been noticeably completely different. The workforce stored him in a beanie consistently, presumably as a result of whereas some components of his face are engaging, they don’t harmonize fully, so styling performs an enormous position for him. With out the beanie’s added peak, his proportions have been additionally surprisingly missing, which could make it laborious for him to totally tackle the middle position.

Former member Seunghan‘s scandal was additionally talked about and the opposite members of the group have been known as “backup.”
2. NCT DREAM & Stray Children
NCT DREAM and Stray Children have been each talked about with feedback directed at Changbin‘s physique and NCT DREAM’s presence in comparison with TXT‘s Yeonjun.
In fact, Yeonjun is nice at performing and MC-ing. Even simply standing nonetheless, he brings that means [to things]. He simply needed to be the one interviewing NCT Dream and Stray Children, and we felt sorry seeing how Yeonjun destroyed each teams together with his physique. Soobin is thought for his tall peak, and his pure and naive picture, so he didn’t look too misplaced alongside them, however the distinction between Yeonjun and Changbin after they stand subsequent to one another is an excessive amount of.

3. BLACKPINK
Whereas discussing BLACKPINK‘s gross sales efficiency, the paperwork labeled them as being “well-known for being well-known,” one thing thought of disregarding to their skills.
4. tripleS
The lady group have been talked about within the report, with it being commented that they have been extra like “the usual of an curiosity group in faculty,” somewhat than an precise group.
A gaggle from a small-to-middle-sized firm, [tripleS], launched a choreography video for his or her B-side, [“New Look”], involving 16 members. From one cut-off date, they deserted their adventurous idea [similar to that of] HYBE group, ‘the unique Kangbuk [redacted],’ and are going for the vibes that of Japanese idols close to the tip of the Showa period. This choreography video is particularly so. It’s a track they mediaplayed with ranging from after they started to tour abroad, for having a efficiency with many members. The choreography is so awkward that we puzzled should you can name it a “massive scale efficiency” so long as you have got many members, and it’s laborious to see them as something greater than akin to the usual of an curiosity group in faculty given the members’ types and expertise.

The group’s producer responded to those feedback following the discharge.
5. BABYMONSTER & SM’s Upcoming Woman Group
The paperwork insulted SM Leisure’s upcoming lady group and BABYMONSTER in a single swoop, implying that SM’s upcoming group have been much less “fairly” than BABYMONSTER. BABYMONSTER’s visuals have been additionally seemingly regarded negatively within the report.
HYBE about BABYMONSTER AND SMNGG:
“SM’s new lady group… none of them are fairly. I puzzled if their trainee infrastructure was even worse than BABYMONSTER”
i genuinely want the worst for everybody in that firm.

Many suppose that BABYMONSTER really shaded HYBE again in response.
6. ZEROBASEONE
Within the doc, one part on ZEROBASEONE makes use of a particular phrase to level out their visuals—a “synergy of ugliness,” in HYBE’s opinion.
As a complete group, they’re scheduled to seem on Superb Saturday. They’ve two episodes on Okay Star Subsequent Door, one in every of which has already been launched. When the members are grouped collectively, they create this synergy of ugliness that’s laborious to face…
— HYBE
7. NewJeans
Of the various feedback made about NewJeans, ones that stood out essentially the most have been HYBE’s plans of “throwing” the group away within the midst of selling LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT.
8. VCHA
The doc spoke about VCHA negatively in a number of points, together with saying that the group’s expertise weren’t at an idol degree, and insulting the group’s idea.
The problem isn’t about who they picked, however somewhat the truth that they’ve gathered random children and positioned them in a wholly international surroundings. Watching them carry out on stage feels considerably awkward. It’s as if this firm turned overly obsessive about the success of the group NiziU. They appear to have randomly chosen children from varied nations, making an attempt to make them look “cute” within the typical JYP approach, as if that may routinely appeal to followers. There’s a wierd disconnect on this pressured trade, virtually like they’re treating the members as mere stand-ins on a bigger platform. Truthfully, the extent of talent is like that of international college students majoring in Korean language research, who have been recruited with long-term residency in thoughts.
[…]
The music video is shockingly cliché, with a scene the place the members dream of changing into idols, however their audition scene is judged by three foreigners. J.Y Park himself seems as a solo decide, treating their journey as if it’s meant to be some heartwarming, motivational storyline, which simply feels superficial. There’s even a male actor who vaguely resembles Simon Cowell, showing in a scene in the course of the analysis. It feels overdone and considerably cringe-worthy.— HYBE Doc
9. IVE & aespa
Talking regarding the expertise that LE SSERAFIM have, the paperwork implied that aespa and IVE had unhealthy efficiency expertise that will finally be the deciding issue, regardless of their recognition.
Regardless of what number of widespread songs IVE or aespa have and the way a lot public recognition they acquire, I imagine the reactions throughout their excursions will finally come right down to their efficiency expertise, and anticipate it will quickly replicate within the outcomes.
HYBE Paperwork
This appears to be a continuation of the sudden consideration positioned on aespa by HYBE over the previous couple of months.
As extra particulars of the paperwork are launched, there’ll possible be extra teams which have had insulting phrases thrown at them.
