Kim Tae-ho, CEO of Hive CCO and Billifrap, appeared as a witness at the parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the 24th. At the meeting, Kim denied allegations of Eilet's plagiarism of Newzins and Hive's alleged pushback of the album.
However, in the process, an internal report on the appearance of other artists, including minor members of SM Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as SM Entertainment), was released, drawing great criticism. In this report, the members made their debut at the age of being ugly. The plastic surgery was too much', Many low-quality expressions were included, such as 'the tendency to be revealed in relation to appearance or sex application is remarkable' and 'the sense of beauty of SM itself seems to have changed'.
Min Hyung-bae of the Democratic Party of Korea and Yoo In-chon, Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, also pointed out that "The expression is severe."
Then, during the parliamentary inspection, Hive wrote an excerpt of the online response as it was to share industry trends and issues with a small number of internal people for reference, which is not Hive's position. The report includes positive reviews from fans and things to listen to as a company. We will hold the forces who leaked it to the outside to make it look like Hive made material criticizing the artist by combining only some provocative content.
In addition, Jeon Jae-soo, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, `It is inappropriate for the company to make an official position during the parliamentary inspection. This is a great criticism of the National Assembly."
Eventually, CEO Kim humbly accepted and apologized for the criticism that the statement was inappropriate while he was in the National Assembly.It was urgently raised (to prevent it) from spreading quickly online, such as the exposure of content that was not covered by the National Assembly and mosaic content. I didn't mean to belittle the National Assembly. It's our fault. Once again, I apologize deeply.'
Then "I wanted to correct what was distorted and distributed online that did not fit the actual situation. Still, I don't think this position should go out. I have no intention of finding an insider," he added.
