Those girls deserved better...and they still do.

And to think their parents allowed this. This means Jiheon, a child, was allowed to live in these conditions. HYBE is a child abuser. Case closed.

you would think if they could afford a hotel in teh 'winter' they could fix the problems.

if the agency rented an apartment they could sue teh landlord to fix it..

Yeah I can't understand choosing to rent a hotel as a recurring thing instead of just fixing the apartment like there's no way that's cheaper than just renting them a hotel to stay in once while you have someone look at the place and do whatever needs to be done to stop these issues happening.

It feels illegal to have 9 girls living in a business. And you can't tell me that a company with one of the most popular acts under them and as part of the HYBE umbrella couldn't afford proper living conditions for their artists.

vertical cities are weird.
Shoot All of AKB Theater is on the 7th floor of a building.

But Housing the artist's on site feels more control freak than artist safety or care.

multiple 100k + sellers that era also.

dark_tranquility · 21 June 2026

living conditions should not be like that
reminds me of my old unit

unlivable and a giant mess

I'd Pledis is worse like Hybe too, literally this is how u treat your idols, you'll not even give them a roof to stay when they work for you...

alo · 22 June 2026

while my hate for pledis has only increased after this, i unfortunately find it difficult to feel surprised by this...

contrast this to the vastly different situations that wonyoung and yujin and the rest of IVE had when they debuted...

To be honest, if HYBE had done less and fans found out they would have had their corporate HQ burnt down.

I'm not familiar with pledis under hybe and pledis pre-hybe but would you say that under hybe fromis_9 were treated a lot better than previous?

I would say that under HYBE they got slightly more attention and better songs. If you count 18 months between come backs more attention.
