TXT’s Soobin Details Mistreatment as a BIGHIT Trainee Sparks Intense Discussion on NJZ’s (NewJeans) Allegations Against HYBE

TXT’s Soobin sparks outrage after revealing trainee abuse

TXT’s Soobin just dropped a bomb during a live stream, confessing that he and other trainees were physically abused while learning choreography.

He revealed he and fellow member Taehyun were forced to learn difficult SEVENTEEN choreographies on their own when they were just middle schoolers with barely any dance experience.

Soobin added that other trainees faced even harsher treatment, including more frequent hitting.

Fans exploded online following his revelation, with anger aimed at the trainee system’s harsh conditions.

The controversy quickly brought up the ongoing dispute between HYBE and NJZ (NewJeans), who have accused the company of bullying and mistreatment.

NJZ has called HYBE an “abusive dad,” claiming emotional abuse under previous management, but fans pointed out Soobin’s abuse happened before HYBE existed. Many stressed this was a separate issue unrelated to NJZ’s current contract battles.

“I hope Tokkies realize not everything is about njz and what txt went through during trainee eras has NOTHING to do w HYBE therefore w njz drama. This all happened around 2015 when HYBE didn’t even exist. Pls educate yourself and stop using child abuse as a ‚gotcha‘ moment for ur…” — Yvonne𖤐⚢|| 伊冯娜

“Hybe wasn’t even a thing, both TXT and BTS suffered INHUMAN abuse as trainees in Big Hit, moas have always talked about their abuse and even about our CURRENT problem with Hybe as a company, don’t use this as a gotcha moment for your favs when you never cared about them” — naticup

Others argued that since BigHit operated under HYBE’s umbrella, it shows a pattern of abuse still tied to HYBE’s system.

“txt saying hybe physically abvsed them when they were trainees, enhypen overworked and their staff be@ting them in public , minju trained till she bleed , katseye overworked, the garam whole thing, NJZ getting bvllied by mangers All that and they still be calling hanni a liar ” — ْ

“stop making everything about your favs it’s not about a ‚gotcha moment‘, it’s about a pattern of abuse at hybe that idols (including hanni) have already spoken about. stop acting like connecting the dots is making it about our favs.” — diana

“y’all are fcking insane, an idol just revealed being physically abused & y’all’s first instinct is to fanwar? This isn’t TXT vs NJZ, it’s ALL Hybe artists vs the same rotten system. Competing over trauma instead of demanding accountability is the most miserable hybestan behaviour” — fizz n funny

HYBE continues to face scrutiny over allegations of mistreatment and overworking idols across multiple groups.

Fans are watching closely as the conversation about trainee abuse and management accountability heats up once again.
