HYBE Corporation’s founder and chairman, Bang Sihyuk, uploaded a photo on his Instagram account on June 13, 2024, showing himself with BTS member Jin. The photo was taken at an event where Jin was celebrating his discharge from military service with fans. This was a heartwarming gesture from Bang Sihyuk, as he is the head of the agency that manages BTS.

Online Reactions: Mixed Sentiments

While some fans were delighted to see the interaction between Jin and Bang Sihyuk, others expressed negative reactions. Some netizens questioned why Bang Sihyuk would take a photo with Jin when he rarely takes photos with other idols under his agency. This sparked speculation that the negative reactions were stemming from the ongoing conflict between Bang Sihyuk and MIN Heejin, the former CEO of ADOR, a subsidiary of HYBE.

MIN Heejin’s fans, who are still upset with Bang Si-hyuk over the ADOR conflict, used this opportunity to express their disapproval. They argued that Bang Sihyuk was taking advantage of Jin’s popularity to promote himself. On the other hand, HYBE supporters defended Bang Sihyuk’s actions, pointing out that he is the head of the agency and has the right to congratulate his artist.
