HYBE’s Bang Si Hyuk Crucified Over Scandalous Rendezvous With Risqué Livestreamer

In a message on Juice Seyeon’s AFREECA TV page, user @appleseek denied that he was the HYBE CEO.

Who cares who others meet? I’m not Bang Si Hyuk, so stop sending me private messages. Go live your own lives.

Despite the user’s denial, many weren’t convinced. Top sponsors are known to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on popular streamers, and it is widely known that streamers meet their sponsors in return.

• “Leave him alone. How bad do you think he felt when he saw the photos when all he got was a dinner? Lol.”
• “I heard that livestreamer makes millions (USD) a year. If he is her top sponsor, he must’ve spent millions on her.”
• “LOL, is that his explanation? This is hilarious. Do you think Bang Si Hyuk would admit it? LOL.”
• “F*ck LOL. This is hilarious, LOL. These reports are coming out because Bang’s level is this low.”
• “Even if it was him, do you think he’d admit it? Even if he is, he’ll say he wasn’t.”
• “The rumors seem to be true.”
• “Who would call that an explanation?”
