HYBE is part of religious cult? Agency reacts to rumours
In the days following ADOR CEO's Min Hee-jin's press conference, rumors about HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk and the label's involvement in an organization believed to be a cult have taking the internet by storm. The organization in question, Dahn World, was founded by Lee Seung-heon. While Lee Seung-heun dubs himself as an 'author and educator who helps people use the full potential of the brain,' the founder of Dahn World is often referred to as a cult leader and a classic 'charismatic con man.'
HYBE is part of religious cult?
So, how is HYBE related to Lee Seung-heon? Well, Lee Seung-heon is the founder and president of Global Cyber University, the same university six BTS members attended and promoted in the past. However, it is important to note that a number of K-Pop idols have graduated from GCU as the university has a simple admission process and virtual degree completion.Aside from BTS, fans found 'evidence' that links TXT, GFRIEND, NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM to the religious cult. As per reports, Dahn World promotes the idea that man and God are one, and followers worship Mago the goddess of the universe. Mago was the final title track of HYBE's now disbanded girl group GFRIEND, which was released under a 'modern witch' concept. Many believe that GFRIEND ending with a witch concept and LE SSERAFIM debuting a day after Walpurgis Night (April 30 to May 1) with a name referring to Old Testament angels is no coincidence. LE SSERAFIM's concept content has also come under question.
With such rumours spreading, many speculated that Min Hee-jin allegedly did not want to be associated with HYBE's cult connection. Netizens pointed out that the ADOR CEO had created a separate communications app, Phoning instead of Weverse, for NewJeans as Weverse shares a name with WeaversMind, an education company believed to have Dahn World connections. However, these are simply just rumours and speculation.
HYBE responds to cult connection accusations
After the rumours began circulating online, HYBE reportedly told South Korean media outlet Sports Donga that they were 'looking into' the various allegations made against the label, such as hoarding judgment, concept theft and cult association.
