A tweet on X shared this clip, praising J.Y. Park for his supposed behavior towards other idols and comparing him to HYBE founder and chairman Bang Si Hyuk in light of the recent documents being exposed. The tweet currently has over 3.6 million views.

And while some praised J.Y Park, many had strong feelings otherwise.

In addition to his views outside of K-Pop, many discussed the treatment idols under JYP faced while working alongside him, citing instances like his sending of young trainees to work with now-convicted sex offender R. Kelly.

In this case, while many find the discussions in HYBE’s internal documents to be disgusting, it does not erase the negative opinions on other label heads.
