Recently, the image of HYBE President Bang Si Hyuk was caught walking around the street with 2 girls in Beverly Hills, California (USA) in July, which was spread on social networks.

One of the girls is BJ (livestreamer) Juice Seyeon, born in 2000, 24 years old. She first started broadcasting in 2019 and is famous as an influencer active not only on Afreeca TV but also on YouTube and TikTok.
This sparked rumors of a romantic relationship between the HYBE President and the female BJ mentioned above. Public opinion was also stirred when it was learned that the age difference between the two was 28 years.
Then, another passerby shared a photo of Bang Si Hyuk passionately taking pictures of the girl he was with.

As the controversy continued, HYBE explained, “CEO Bang Si Hyuk happened to meet the older of the two at a gathering of acquaintances and gave her advice on how to deal with impostors in the entertainment industry.
Later, when the two girls went to Los Angeles together, they asked about tourist attractions and restaurants. Bang Si Hyuk made reservations and acted as their tour guide.”
However, HYBE's statement continued to make Bang Si Hyuk the target of ridicule. A post on the online community theqoo attracted attention with the title: "It seems that Bang Si Hyuk has recovered from his facial recognition disorder."
The post explained that during a meeting at HYBE, when the parents of the NewJeans group expressed their opinions about President Bang Shi Hyuk deliberately ignoring NewJeans, the HYBE representative said: President Bang has facial recognition disorder, so he could not respond to the greetings of the NewJeans members in the elevator.

The post sarcastically asked: “A seriously ill patient, who didn’t even greet the artists who debuted in his company because he didn’t recognize them, but still remembered the face of the BJ he saw, so he must be cured, right?”
Under the post, Korean audiences left hundreds of comments agreeing and reiterating that it was true that President Bang Si Hyuk intentionally ignored NewJeans.
“That means the Chairman is closer to these two girls than to people in his own company” - some comments from netizens on theqoo.
On August 8-9, posts about President Bang Si Hyuk on theqoo attracted a huge amount of interaction, with tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of reads.
