" The problematic part of the non-disclosure agreement is the 'non-compete' clause. HYBE has imposed the following conditions on multiple former employees:
- Employees are prohibited from working for or collaborating with employees of similar or competing companies for one year after leaving the company
- Employees are prohibited from establishing or operating similar or competing companies for one year after leaving the company.
This means that if someone leaves HYBE, they cannot work in the entertainment industry or similar fields. The signing of this agreement was conducted by Kim Joo-young, the current CEO of ADOR and CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer). "
Industry insiders have said, 'We’ve never seen such clauses applied to non-executive employees.'
Infringement on freedom of career choice (according to a lawyer), the fact that it was included despite knowing it has no legal effect suggests that it was strongly influenced by the management's intentions (according to a lawyer) — a form of pressure to prevent resignation.
2. Former employees were asked to sign an agreement waiving the right to sue regarding anything that happened during their time at HYBE (of course, it has no legal effect, but it's an absurd clause to begin with, like they were trying to hire slaves?)
"Additionally, HYBE is known to have obtained a 'waiver of lawsuit agreement' from some former employees. The condition is that former employees cannot file any lawsuits against HYBE regarding issues that occurred during their time at the company.
In cases where a former employee is already in the process of suing the company or has a dispute, such agreements are usually made as part of a settlement. However, HYBE also had these agreements signed by former employees who had no particular disputes with the company."
3. The retention period for former employees' non-disclosure agreements are "permanent"
It's illegal and has no legal effect, but it seems like they view employees as if they've mortgaged them for life, like slaves. It's an absurd and ignorant clause.
"Furthermore, HYBE set the retention period for the non-disclosure agreement of former employees to be 'permanent.' This also violates the Personal Information Protection Act. According to the Labor Standards Act and the Personal Information Protection Act, documents related to employment, dismissal, or resignation must be retained for three years from the date of dismissal or resignation, and then must be destroyed within five days thereafter."
And they got designated as a 'top company'...?
