There are concerns about a new social media trend that is currently spreading like wildfire among teenagers and young adults.
While the feud between the two continues, HYBE label And Min Hee Jin Adorerecent rumors suspect a secret connection between HYBE Labels and a Korean pseudoscientific religious group known as “.”darn world‘. The rumor quickly spread indiscriminately, with many online users claiming that HYBE was a company affiliated with a “cult,” as if the rumor were a confirmed fact.
Although Dahnworld has since issued a statement denying any association with HYBE, and BTS in particular, the recent emergence of this high-profile pseudoscientific organization is producing unforeseen consequences.
It is now trending on social media for young people and teenagers to visit one of the many “Daanworld” meditation centers across South Korea. Young social media users are flocking to nearby meditation centers with cellphones and cameras, filming inside the center without permission, and showing up during meditation sessions to sing and dance to songs like “.hype boy“New Jeans or”magnetic”, ILLIT said, causing an uproar.
Furthermore, ILLIT’s “Magnetic” has become known as a “cult song” among teenagers, and related SNS challenges have become active. (On the other hand, New Jeans’ “Hype Boy” is now called a “freedom song.”)
Netizens reacted with comments such as: “This looks dangerous TT”, “People are approaching an organization that could be an extremist cult a little too carelessly…”, “It is very dangerous for individuals to cause a disturbance, This can lead to conflict. If these centers claim things like, “They’re a company, they could be charged with obstruction of business,” or “I work at a cram school. But this is all the kids are talking about these days…” “Don’t approach cults lightly!! It’s a coercive tactic to convert you!!”, “HYBE needs to do something before something happens. It is necessary to take measures.”more.
