Statement from HYBE I.M showing the transaction.

The transaction was listed as funds for a gaming business. It is open knowledge that HYBE has been trying to delve into the gaming sector. Fans are upset that HYBE has been taking money from music subsidiaries earned by the artists to pour into their gaming businesses. Bunnies called them out for this.

I’m revealing the true nature of HYBE. Although I had already expected this…

If you look at the HYBE I.M announcement from September 30 titled Change of Product and Service Transactions with Subsidiary Companies of the Same Person, etc, they received ₩4.00 billion KRW (about $2.98 million USD) from ADOR in the third quarter for game businesses. The amount accounts for 13.47% of sales in the previous fiscal year. Last year, on the contrary, ADOR only received ₩78.0 million KRW (about $58,100 USD) from HYBE I.M.

The unilateral dismissal of the CEO was August 27.

ADOR’s board of directors’ meeting concluded on September 27.

Based on the service transaction records, it sems like ADOR’s management has been taken over and will continue to pour money into a gaming business no one even wanted. They want to take all the money that is supposed to be paid out to the kids.

BTW, HYBE I.M capital total is ₩700 million KRW (about $521,000 USD) and they have a debt total of ₩65.0 billion KRW (about $48.4 million USD).
