Over the last year, Scooter Braun has been constantly criticized by fans of multiple HYBE artists for his active role in promoting Zionism amidst Israel’s onslaught on civilian life in the Gaza Strip of Palestine. The hashtag #HYBE_Divest_From_Zionism has consistently been used in hopes of influencing the business to cut ties with Braun.
Recently, Scooter sat down with Bloomberg Live and chatted about working with HYBE and Bang Si Hyuk. Along with his experiences with the HYBE founder, he seemed to hint the relationship continuing, adding, “We’re talking about extending that.”
