Earlier, HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk was spotted walking the streets of Beverly Hills with two Korean women. The women were known to be Gwajeupseyeon, an Afreeca BJ, and her sister. The controversy later escalated into a privacy issue involving Chairman Bang, but HYBE clarified, stating, “It was a chance meeting, and he guided them around tourist spots and restaurants.”
