Questions are being asked about Hive's executives at the parliamentary audit, and Hive's position has suddenly appeared. As the reprimand continued, the statement was deleted, and Hive has since shut up.

On the 24th, the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee conducted a parliamentary audit. Kim Tae-ho, chief operating officer of Hive, attended the meeting as a witness. He is also the head of the affiliated label Billifrap.

On this day, Min Hyung-bae of the Democratic Party of Korea released the Weekly Music Industry Report among Hive's internal documents, causing a stir. The report included explicit and raw reviews of the appearance of various idol groups, and slander of live and stage skills.

"It's not Hive's opinion or official judgment," said Kim Tae-ho, chief operating officer. "It's a collection of articles to monitor what was online."

Among them, Hive announced its official position. They protested, saying, "We will hold the forces who leaked it to the outside to make it look as if Hive made material criticizing the artist by combining only some provocative content."

Rep. Min, who saw this, asked, "It also contains Hive's opinion," and "Do you want me to read it here?" In addition, regarding Hive's official position, he also said, "To make it look like Hive made material that criticized the artist." Did I ask you this question?" he said, expressing displeasure.

Jeon Jae-soo, chairman of the political committee, strongly reprimanded, saying, "The parliamentary audit is underway, and to issue a position in that way is to punish the parliamentary audit."

Furthermore, criticism continued on the official statement, which contains threatening expressions that can be interpreted as words to search for insiders, and nuances that seem to block free discussion or internal discussion.

Chief Operating Officer Kim Tae-ho said, "I didn't communicate with the company while I was present at the parliamentary inspection." After the suspended parliamentary inspection resumed, Chief Operating Officer Kim Tae-ho apologized, saying, "The statement of position was inappropriate."

Eventually, the statement was deleted. Afterwards, he asked Hive about how he wrote the problematic "internal document" and how to deal with it in the future, but Hive has remained silent and unanswered.
