HYBE‘s Bang Si Hyuk was randomly captured in Beverly Hills recently with two BJs at his side* when they were captured in the video of the YouTube channel I am WalKing, which was filmed sometime around July. A picture of his appearance was posted on Korean forums and it went viral, and later another picture was posted of him taking pictures presumably of one of the BJs.
*Including BJ Juicy Seyeon from The Influencer, whose Instagram basically seems to document their trip, in retrospect.
Seemingly within hours, the posts were taken down by HYBE, as they were listed as an invasion of privacy. Being seen walking in a crosswalk in Los Angeles is beyond the pale, I suppose.
Anyway, netizens are ripping him to shreds right now because of speculation on their relationship with one another. And it probably doesn’t help his image that his previous alleged companion was an influencer over 20 years younger than him.

Regardless, I’m not so sure it necessarily surprises me as to make it a big deal about it, though I suppose that’s because I just assume they’re all like this to begin with. However, what stood out as particularly newsworthy to me was BIGHIT MUSIC‘s response to this, claiming it was a coincidental meeting.
“While meeting with acquaintances, he ran into the older of the two and gave her advice on how to handle entertainment imposters.
Afterwards, they came to LA together and asked about tourist attractions and restaurants, so he guided them and made reservations.”
…
Come on now, dawg.
COME ON MAN
There’s no way this is the best damage control you can do. Holy shit.
