The leak of an internal report from HYBE on aespa has sparked widespread backlash, as the report criticizes aespa’s performances and capabilities. Specifically, HYBE’s report points to the group’s Coachella performance, claiming it lacked stage synchronization. Many are now questioning whether the report reflects HYBE’s objective analysis or a biased critique.
HYBE Internal Report Leak and Its Focus on aespa
HYBE’s internal report leak has ignited considerable controversy, especially for its mentions of the popular girl group aespa. This isn’t the first time HYBE’s stance on aespa has surfaced; in April, HYBE’s Chairman Bang Sihyuk was revealed to have asked whether aespa could be “crushed” in a private message. The current leaked report, while redacting aespa’s name, contains enough contextual clues that many suspect the comments refer to them.
Criticism of Aespa’s Coachella Performance
According to the leaked report, HYBE criticized aespa’s performance at the 2022 Coachella festival. While fans of aespa have long believed the group is talented but under-supported by their agency, HYBE’s report argues that aespa’s supposed competence failed to shine through at Coachella. The report suggests that aespa fans, unable to defend the performance, shifted focus to criticizing the agency instead.
Harsh Evaluations of aespa in HYBE Report
In one of the report’s harsher evaluations, HYBE discusses aespa’s stage performances during their ‘Girls’ promotions. The report claims aespa’s choreography was flawed, with no moment in their performances appearing synchronized. Despite chart-topping hits and public recognition, HYBE’s analysis insists that aespa lacks the stage presence required for successful overseas tours, predicting that this deficiency will soon become apparent. This level of critique has sparked accusations that HYBE’s report is more akin to disparagement than objective assessment.
Public Backlash Over HYBE’s aespa Criticism
The exposure of HYBE’s internal comments on the online community theqoo was met with widespread ridicule. Many netizens argue that aespa is currently at the peak of their career, dominating in music sales, vocals, dance, visual appeal, and public favor. In light of this, the negative predictions about aespa’s future have been mocked as baseless. Some even speculate that malicious comments against aespa, including severe criticism during Karina’s dating rumors, could stem from HYBE’s influence.
The Response of HYBE to the aespa Report Controversy
In response to the backlash, HYBE stated that the internal report merely aggregated online opinions and did not reflect their official stance. However, the typical purpose of such reports is to analyze rival groups’ strengths and weaknesses constructively. Critics argue that HYBE’s report goes beyond this, focusing primarily on criticizing a competing group. HYBE’s official statement on the matter also included a pledge to investigate those responsible for the report’s leak, revealing a lack of self-reflection on the content and implications of the report itself.
