Article: "HYBE inspected fans' underwear at a fansign"
Source: Pann
At the &Team fan sign, the staffs check fans' underwear and touched them to see if they have Apple watches or electronic devices for recording. This isn't a simple skim through, they f*cking grab and touch you, it's total sexual harassment. Why even hold a fan sign if they're that scared of people recording? Anyway, I'm a fan of HYBE idols and &Team but I seriously hope HYBE flops now. I'm really hoping media cover this so I reported them to MBC.
SpinSpin Question: "But they did it without members seeing it right?"
Fan A: "They straight up touched by breasts right next to them.. If they wanted me to take it off or touch more they would've taken me behind. They couldn't find anything on me either but didn't say sorry, just told me to leave."
"No it's the first time in my life I've ever been searched and prodded in my bra, even my mom doesn't touch in my breasts.."
"No.. they're seriously doing underwear searchesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. They said they'd touch my breasts a little but completely groped them;;; then asked, "that's a watch right?" Then he dragged me to a small area in the back and told me to lift my clothes, kept grabbing to the point my clothes automatically went up. Someone else opened the door and came in and inspected through my underwear ^^. I seriously felt so ashamed and felt like my human rights were completely violated.."
"What kind of company takes money from fans and touches their bodies to this level searching through underwear. I really think I should be reporting this? Why should do we have to endure and put up with such treatment just because we like an idol.. and what's so important about your f*cking rules that fans have to be groped and crimes committed just to prevent idols getting recorded.. has the idol industry rotted their brains?"
- [+694, -6] It's illegal. It's not a body search investigation agency either. Without a warrant, it's a straight 3-year prison sentence. All jail time, no fines..
- [+592, -4] How has HYBE not been hit with lawsuits yet? Seriously we need to file lawsuits on them en masse. That's the only way things will change. They're seriously taking idol fans as dogs.. you should be filing a complaint right now.. this is f*cking severe
- [+582, -2] Fans are more than just consumers but these idol agencies are treating them like f*cking dogs!! Wake up!
- [+523, -4] If you stan HYBE idols get ready to throw out your human rights..
- [+429, -4] I'm honestly in shock after seeing several posts put up just now on this. They even said they were touching fans in front of members and would take fans to the back and take off their clothes. Are they crazy? HYBE seriously has no sense of moderation..
- [+255, -2] They're claiming it's to prevent hidden cams but let's be honest, how can you even record it? All fans care about is a face-to-face chat with their idols. And why even block fans from recording at a fan sign? Just do video calls and let fans record time with their idols then.
- [+246, -1] There's this too...ㅋㅋ They're seriously think idols are chaebols
There's a ribbon for the fan sign eventㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it's only a headband, I can't even be cute, but they're checking all fan sign items.." - [+233, -0] Fan sign fans are VIP customers..
- [+192, -0] Isn't this a disgrace to the world?.. Not long ago, in Kenya, an official forced female staff members to take off clothes to check menstrual status. The story got leaked to media and the official was suspended on indecent assault charges..
- [+166, -1] Ah.. they're getting more and more weird함
