Netizens were ruthless.
Bang Si Hyuk, founder and chairman of HYBE, has once again sparked discussion online due to his noticeable weight loss. The topic resurfaced following his appearance during J.Y. Park‘s recent performance for his 30th anniversary as part of a congratulatory video message.
While the speech itself gained attention, many viewers couldn’t help but focus on his significantly slimmer appearance.
This isn’t the first time Bang Si Hyuk’s weight loss has attracted public interest. Just a few months ago, in June, he shared a photo with BTS’s Jin, who had recently completed his military service. Fans and netizens quickly pointed out his leaner physique, sparking conversations and speculation about the possible reasons behind his transformation.
