People saying that ENGENEs are horrible, that we're the worst fandom, that we're monsters or demons—do you really think you're any better if you're responding with more hate?
I understand that someone lost her life. I also know that, for some people, this kind of tragedy is much closer to home than you might realize.
The people who need to be held accountable are the ones who harassed her and pushed her to this point—not an entire fandom. Blaming every ENGENE only creates more hate and more division.
Not everyone even knew what was happening. Some people are taking breaks from social media. Others never saw the posts at all. You can't hold an entire fandom responsible for the actions of a group of individuals.
If we really want to learn something from this tragedy, then we need to stop turning grief into another fan war. We should be holding accountable the people who chose to bully someone, not encouraging more harassment against thousands of people who had nothing to do with it.
"Unbelievable… 'Bang Si-hyuk Somehow Loses ₩1 Trillion' — Investors Who Put Their Faith in Him Left Devastated"

HYBE's stock, which had once traded above ₩410,000, has plunged into the ₩160,000 range. As the company continues setting new all-time lows, investors are being left in shock. HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk's stake has lost more than ₩1 trillion in value.
According to a recent analysis by the Korea CXO Institute, which evaluated the stock holdings of the heads of 46 major Korean business groups as of the second quarter, Bang recorded the largest decline among all those surveyed. His stock wealth shrank by ₩1.4058 trillion in just one quarter. His total stock assets fell by 35.8%, the steepest percentage decline of anyone in the study.
HYBE's stock has continued to tumble day after day despite the company posting record-breaking quarterly results, driven by BTS's full-group activities. Investors appear increasingly worried that the so-called "BTS effect" may have already peaked.
Compared to its 52-week high of ₩418,000, HYBE's share price has fallen by approximately 60%. Most HYBE investors are now sitting on substantial losses.
Investor complaints continue to pour in:
"I trusted BTS and got burned."
"HYBE doesn't even have a plan to support its stock price."
Ironically, just before the stock's sharp decline, HYBE reported the strongest financial performance in the company's history.
HYBE announced consolidated second-quarter revenue of ₩1.45 trillion and operating profit of ₩170.9 billion this year, representing increases of 105.5% and 159.3%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.
It is the first time in Korea's entertainment industry that a company has simultaneously surpassed ₩1 trillion in quarterly revenue and ₩100 billion in operating profit. Nevertheless, its stock price continues heading toward historic lows.
Investor sentiment appears to have been dampened by growing "peak-out" concerns—the fear that revenue could slow once BTS's world tour reaches its peak.
Analysts also argue that HYBE's concert business is not as profitable as many had expected. Korea Investment & Securities noted that while BTS concerts boosted overall revenue, the relatively low profitability of the concert segment led it to lower HYBE's target share price from ₩400,000 to ₩330,000. NH Investment & Securities also cited deteriorating investor sentiment and reduced its target price from ₩300,000 to ₩270,000.
Some analysts believe HYBE's sharp decline also reflects broader concerns about slowing growth across Korea's entertainment industry. Album sales—the primary revenue source for K-pop agencies—have weakened, while the recent stock market rally has been concentrated in semiconductor and other large-cap stocks, leaving entertainment stocks behind. Earnings expectations and target prices for major entertainment companies have also been revised downward across the board for the second quarter.
Adding to the pressure, the investigation into Chairman Bang Si-hyuk over alleged fraudulent and unfair trading practices is reportedly entering its final stages. Bang has been under police investigation over allegations that, ahead of HYBE's IPO, he misled investors into selling their shares.
