Entertainment agency Hive's "Weekly Music Industry Report" has been further released. Among the contents, not only singers from other agencies, but also broadcasters and famous entertainment producers were evaluated.
On the 1st, a netizen who claimed to be a Hive employee posted a post revealing the 'Weekly Music Industry Report'.
Like the document that was first released
, the additional released amount also contained a stark evaluation of singers and broadcasters from other agencies. The evaluation of industry officials such as famous entertainment producers was also noticeable.
The author claimed, "Unlike saying that he did not do reverse viral (malicious slander, devaluation, etc.) by deliberately spreading content such as malicious slander and devaluation to other companies or competing products, I wanted to let you know that many of the parts mentioned in this report were actually planned."
He also reported on the internal situation of Hive, which is dealing with controversy over the document. The author said, "I also heard that the label executives who are applicable yesterday and today are organizing their opinions that they haven't seen either."
"There are recipients who have been sympathizing with and condoning this report for more than two years," he said, stressing the responsibility of executives.
Hive's "Weekly Music Industry Report" was first released through a parliamentary audit on the 24th of last month. The document caused a stir as it contained appearance reviews of other singers and slander that went too far.
As the controversy intensified, CEO Hive Lee Jae-sang apologized five days later, saying, "It was shared only with some leadership for the purpose of grasping the public opinion of the market and artist fans, but the contents of the document were very inappropriate."
Kang, the head of the Hive Weverse Manger Truth Department who wrote this document, was removed from his position.
