In response, HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk made a visit on Monday, Oct 30th to MBC, Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul, where he had a candid discussion with President Ahn Hyung-jun.
During the meeting, MBC President Ahn Hyung-jun sincerely welcomed Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s visit and stated, “Let’s work together to create an environment for producing content with mutual respect and consideration, improving the outdated production culture that has been entrenched between broadcasting stations and entertainment companies for a long time.” MBC also expressed its commitment to taking the lead in enhancing artists’ rights and establishing a fair partnership relationship to create an environment for the mutual growth of the entertainment industry.
HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk expressed deep gratitude for MBC’s consideration in elevating the rights of K-pop artists, saying, “I hope that this meeting will serve as an opportunity for progressive production practices to be newly established in the entire domestic entertainment industry, going beyond the two companies.”
