Status Of HYBE Founder Bang Si Hyuk’s Mansion During LA Fire Sparks Heated Discussion

Recently, a devastating wildfire that started on January 7, KST, ravaged multiple neighborhoods in Los Angeles, including some very affluent areas with celebrity residences. The famous Bel Air mansion of HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk is also located close to the area affected by the fire.

According to reports, Bang’s multi-million dollar home in LA was so close to the fire that it came under evacuation orders. The American billionaire musician couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who also own a Bel Air home, reportedly evacuated as the fire approached. 

While many celebrities have lost their homes to the wildfires, Bang’s luxury home reportedly escaped the damage very narrowly. The news has, however, gained large-scale mockery from netizens who have grown bitter toward the HYBE chairman over the course of HYBE’s multiple controversies in the last year. Some, however, intervened, remarking that the incident was much bigger than people’s dislike of Bang.

• “What a waste.”
• “Regretful.”
• “No matter how much you hate Bang Si Hyuk, mocking a human disaster is disgusting.”
• — “I agree… No matter how wrong someone may have been, mocking them over their life is crossing the line.”

• “I hope all the other residents are safe.”
• “Wow, this…”
• “That’s regretful.”
• “So close.”
