Renowned art director Park Si Young took to Instagram on July 23 to blast HYBE for its handling of the NewJeans dispute, labeling the conglomerate's actions as childish and embarrassing.
Park shared a story calling out HYBE for targeting young NewJeans members with money and lawsuits. He stated he found it disgusting how the company conducts itself after taking the formative years of these minors under the guise of training.
In his post, Park clarified he does not care about Bang Si Hyuk or Min Hee Jin. He described the situation as idiotic and pathetic, urging adults to act responsibly when making money off kids.
The comments follow Park's earlier criticism of a NewJeans comeback teaser released by ADOR. His words have stirred heated discussion among K-Pop fans.
