“Like BLACKPINK’s Jennie” — BTS Urged To Leave HYBE And Open Their Own Company

Korean fans have sparekd a heated debate related to BTS‘s future under HYBE.

A trending viral post on Pann suggested the mega-popular boy group should step out and start their own company.

The post argued that at their age, BTS could benefit from taking control of their careers — as BLACKPINK’s Jennie has done, starting her own company and achieving notable success.

Do BTS always do what their company wants?

Isn’t there anyone who wants to come out on their own and start their own company? Or do they just not have the ability? They don’t even seem to like the company that much, yet they keep hiding behind it every time. They’re not exactly young anymore. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone if they became independent already, lol?

Meanwhile, Jennie, as a woman, started her own company by herself and is setting records. Jennie is seriously amazing, haha.

The post sparked a heated discussion among fans, with many pointing out potential risks and defending both BTS and HYBE.

• “This person is clearly unhinged. Your instigating is painfully obvious. Stop dragging Jennie into this and talking nonsense, and get lost.”
• “If BTS said they were leaving HYBE’s protection, do you really think HYBE would just sit back and let that happen?”
• “ARMYs and BLINKs, seriously, stop this crap.”
• “Ma’am, if you’re going to try to stir shit between BLACKPINK and others, at least do it properly. This is sloppy as hell… Reeking of desperation.”
• “Their contracts aren’t over yet.”
