MBC criticized by BTS and SEVENTEEN fans
On the latest episode of the show Hangout With You, a sequence mentions that BTS laid the groundwork for the HYBE headquarters and SEVENTEEN helped raise it. This statement did not sit well with fans. BTS fans expressed their disappointment as they mentioned that the building was built in 2019 and SEVENTEEN's PLEDIS Entertainment joined the corporation in May 2020. Many also pointed out that BTS still has the biggest revenue share when it comes to HYBE Corporation.
SEVENTEEN fans also commented that the group helped PLEDIS Entertainment sustain and they were also happy to have joined a bigger corporation. ARMYs (BTS' fans) and CARATs (SEVENTEEN's fans) also clarified that they don't have beef with one another but rather are not happy with MBC's statement. 
Since the backlash, MBC has reframed the statement to 'Welcome to HYBE’s headquarters. Even the members were in awe of the new building.'
