[instiz] [EXCLUSIVE] "ADD ZICO TOO".... CHAIRMAN BANG SIHYUK ORDERS THE SHARING OF "THE IDOLS REPORT"

Email: Please add Zico-ssi to the list of recipient (from Chairman Bang Sihyuk)

Former Weverse Magazine Director Kang Myungseok’s email record revealed… He had to take responsibility

As the so-called "HYBE Idol Report," which contains harsh criticism of idol appearances, has recently been made public during a National Assembly audit, it has emerged that Bang Sihyuk, the chairman of HYBE, directly instructed company executives to share this document. This revelation comes on the 30th, following the suspension of Kang Myungseok, the former Weverse Magazine director known to have authored the document, leading to discussions about accountability for Chairman Bang.

According to email records obtained by Hankyoreh, on January 6, 2022, Chairman Bang replied regarding the "Weekly Music Industry Report III" shared by Kang, saying, "Please add Zico to the list of recipients." Included in the recipients was Kim Joo-young, the former Chief Human Resources Officer and current CEO of ADOR.

Zico, a rapper from the idol group Block B, was included as a recipient because his agency, KOZ Entertainment, which he founded in 2018, was acquired by HYBE in November 2020. Since Zico is the head of a label under HYBE, he became a recipient of the document. This report is published weekly and sent to the C-level executives of HYBE and its affiliated labels. A music industry insider familiar with HYBE noted, "It seems that the report was not shared with Zico in the early stages of the acquisition because they were concerned he might feel uncomfortable, given that he is an artist himself.
