A man in his 40s was caught after secretly entering and staying inside HYBE’s headquarters for 3 days

CCTV footage shows that he walked through the main entrance around 4 PM that day and sat in a chair in the lobby for about an hour. He then used the basement parking elevator, which doesn’t require passing through a security door, to enter the building.

Taking advantage of lax security, the man bypassed a glass security door and roamed between the 3rd and 18th floors, staying inside the building for two nights and three days.

On Sep 8th, a HYBE employee noticed the man wandering on the 5th floor and reported him to the police. Officers arrived and arrested him around 6:30 PM the same day. The man is being charged with unlawful entry into the premises.

During the investigation, police discovered that the man was unemployed and had not stolen anything or carried any weapons.

He reportedly ate and slept in the cafeteria used by HYBE trainees and employees.

A police representative said, “The man is giving incoherent statements, and we are investigating his motives based on the available evidence.”

HYBE stated, “We confirmed the illegal entry and reported it to the police. We are fully cooperating with the investigation to ensure strict punishment is carried out.”
