Amid the controversy surrounding NewJeans’ decision not to participate in the Grammy Museum’s ‘HYBE Exhibition,’ it has been confirmed that the organizers offered them the most prominent spot.
According to Xports News, the Grammy Museum proposed giving NewJeans a central position in the exhibit as early as March.
However, NewJeans declined to participate, reportedly citing concerns over their minimal representation in the exhibition.
The situation surrounding NewJeans and the Grammy Museum’s ‘HYBE Exhibition’ has indeed sparked online speculation.
Reports suggest that organizers extended a heartfelt invitation to NewJeans, offering to position their exhibit prominently as the first thing visitors see. HYBE communicated this desire to ADOR, advocating for NewJeans’ participation.
However, ADOR, led by CEO Min Hee-jin, ultimately declined the offer, leading to NewJeans’ absence from the exhibition.
This decision has fueled speculation about potential internal conflicts or disagreements between HYBE and ADOR, adding to the controversy surrounding the event.
The situation surrounding NewJeans has indeed become more complex with their absence from both the Grammy Museum’s ‘HYBE Exhibition’ and the recent Weverse Con.
HYBE explained that NewJeans couldn’t attend Weverse Con due to preparations for overseas activities, contrasting with other artists who managed to participate despite busy schedules.
This has raised suspicions regarding ADOR’s cooperation with HYBE events, contributing to ongoing speculation and scrutiny within the industry and among fans.
The ‘HYBE: We Believe In Music’ exhibition at the Grammy Museum, scheduled from August 2 to September 15, aims to showcase the history of HYBE and its artists.
It has garnered significant interest, especially with the participation of major HYBE artists.
The exhibition promises to reflect on the cultural impact and achievements of HYBE, highlighting its diverse roster of talent and their contributions to the music industry.
