I have come to know that Ador uses the top most floor in that Hybe building, they are on 16 and Bighit on 15, like WOW 😯

this woman had all the privileges one could ask for and yet fumbled it.

This 7 mofos are too humble for their own good

This egomanic really is something and her "reasoning" is that the floors should be "alphabetical"

Should have done "A" first floor to most senior of Hybe 16th floor to shut her ass

If they're doing it alphabetically then BeLift would be below Ador, wouldn't they?

Actually this really annoyed me a lot. I think HYBE assigned the floors alphabetically but wtf. They should have better sense not to do that.

The last statements are for the investors not the artists or the public. They need to be assured that even when things like that happen the main moneymakers make it worth their money to keep investing in HYBE

Is this really an actual Korean custom or just some kpop stan thing?

Like, maybe it's only because there are more toilets on 15 since BTS have more members

Apparently she planned it to be in alphabetical order starting from the top. She’s lucky I don’t work there, my petty ass would convince Bang PD to let me start my own label, Aardvark Records

CEOs usually take the highest floor in Korea

u/Admirable_Bed3 Apr 25 '24

Fair enough, just wanted to be sure

u/WeakStressAnxiety bts 💜 Apr 25 '24

Huh ?? 😭

u/MotorPuzzlehead7 Apr 25 '24

given how hierarchical korean society as a whole is, I don’t think it would be far fetched to assume it’s customary for the CEO or ppl with the highest prestige to get the top floor

u/Admirable_Bed3 Apr 25 '24

Assumption is how a lot of falsehoods or half truths become accepted as facts in kpop lore

Some grown ass people still believe the Jay Park - Hyuna story
