HYBE is facing a bunch of issues related to its artists right now. However, despite all the controversy, when it comes to Chairman Bang Si Hyuk, HYBE is incredibly quick on its feet. After viral footage of Bang Si Hyuk walking with the sexiest AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon in Beverly Hills, HYBE immediately takes down the post. And yet, Korean netizens believed the action proved a shady movement from the company. Dive deeper into the story below.
HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk Seen in Beverly Hills with the Sexiest AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon
The great BTS father and Chairman of HYBE, Bang Si Hyuk, is reportedly seen walking around Beverly Hills with the sexiest AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon.
On August 8, a post went viral on the Korean online community TheQoo, sharing a photo of HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk. In the photo, Bang Si Hyuk was seen walking around Beverly Hills with two gorgeous women, one of whom was the sexiest AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon.
Juice Seyeon is a Korean influencer famous for being a Broadcast Jockey (BJ) on AfreecaTV platform. She is known for her sexiest livestream, which not only shows off her beauty but is also provocative.
Aside from AfreecaTV, Seyeon is also a famous influencer on YouTube and Instagram. She mostly posted her daily vlog, beauty tips, and photos of her gorgeous visuals.
Recently, Juice Seyeon also gained more popularity after appearing as one of the contestants in “The Influencer.”
Along with the above image, another photo also circulated on Bang Si Hyuk taking photos of Juice Seyeon in Beverly Hills. This also gained more attention after Juice Seyeon posted a photo wearing the same outfit on her Instagram.
HYBE Taking Immediate Action for Chairman Bang Si Hyuk Photo Despite More Urgent Controversy – Shady Movement?
Seeing how the great Chairman of HYBE is once again seen close to gorgeous young women, the photos quickly went viral on Korean forums, sparking hundreds of comments.
But suddenly, these posts have been mysteriously disappearing. Netizens are stunned at how fast news about Chairman Bang gets taken down. And that is especially shocking when HYBE is currently facing more urgent disputes and controversy, including BTS Suga’s latest DUI scandal.
According to the notice, HYBE took down the post due to an “invasion of privacy.”
“We would like to inform you that the publication has been removed to comply with Article 44-2 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.

Reason: Violation of Chairman Bang Si Hyuk’s privacy
Requested by: HYBE
Removal date: August 8, 2024, at 5:22 PM”
Shady and Ironic?
However, Korean netizens found HYBE’s move to be shady and ironic. After all, the footage was taken from a video on the YouTube channel “I am WalKing.” It showcases the daily situation happening in the Beverly Hills, LA.
Bang Si Hyuk just so happened to appear in the Beverly Hills video with the two gorgeous women, one of whom was AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon.
Hence, removing the post due to “invasion of privacy” only means that something is going on behind this scene. Not only that, but Korean netizens also found it ironic that HYBE would take action for such a claim for Chairman Bang Si Hyuk after revealing a bunch of private KakaoTalk messages of ADOR CEO Min Heejin to the public.
While Bang Si Hyuk footage only showed the brief situation of Beverly Hills, HYBE intentionally published Min Heejin’s private message. And Korean netizens believed it was more suitable for a privacy invasion.
- “You exposed Min Hee Jin’s KakaoTalk messages all over the place, but this photo gets taken down for privacy?”
- “Forget about this forum…”
- “What privacy invasion? They posted Min Hee Jin’s messages everywhere!”
- “Wow, there are tons of articles about Suga, but this one gets removed.”
- “Taking it down just shows these photos were meant to be private.”
- “A HYBE artist gets caught drunk driving, and now the chairman is hanging out with BJs…”
- “Min Hee Jin’s KakaoTalk messages were an invasion of privacy too. Why did they expose that? And Suga has thousands of comments online, but they’re not doing anything about those.”
- “Oh, so it is private. Got it.”
- “This is so funny.”
- “Wow, the drunk driving articles stay up, but this one gets taken down.”
BIGHIT Releases Official Statement on Beverly Hills Footage with AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon
Finally, due to the massive controversy, HYBE label BIGHIT Music then released an official statement on Chairman Bang Si Hyuk photos with AfreecaTV BJ Juice Seyeon.
“Chairman Bang met with one of the sisters at a gathering of acquaintances and offered advice on how to deal with an entertainment impersonator.
Later, when the two of them came to LA together, they asked about tourist spots and restaurants, so we made reservations and guided them.”
