From the controversy over the appearance evaluation of the Hive Trend Report to Hive's statement and the reason why this document was released during the state audit, we've compiled it all in one place. Check out all the idols mentioned in this issue!

1. Complete summary of the Hive Trend Report contents

SM Entertainment
- Rise: When attacked by Tours, you can defend with Rise. If someone says you are ugly, defend with Sohee's oversleeve. If Hanjin says you can't dance, defend with Anton's Tick-Tock.

- SM's new girl group: Surprisingly, no one is pretty. Judging from how shocked I was when Espa debuted, it seems like my aesthetic has changed.

- Espa: Lack of stage practice and lack of live skills were pointed out.
- NCT: There is a derogatory term for this fandom, which is an old-fashioned way of fandom.
- NCT Dream: Physically slaughtered by Yeonjun.

JYP Entertainment
- Yuna: There is an assessment that changes in Yuna’s appearance and image are also appearing.
- Enmix : There is a claim that the book Haewon was reading was a feminist book. It can be used as aggro by saying that she got team killed while trying to get feminist coins.
- SKZ : When Changbin and Yeonjun were filming the challenge with Enmix, they were similar in height. It was unfortunate that Changbin was friends with Yeonjun, so when the two stood next to each other, they got physically slaughtered and it was a shame.
- Twice : Attention has decreased.

YG Entertainment
- BLACKPINK : There is a problem with not being able to operate the team itself intensively.
- Baby Monster : A trainee at a level worse than Baby Monster

Hive
- New Jeans : Blackpink, Seraphim, Espa, and Ive need a different bundle from the existing 4th generation theory. New Jeans can be discarded and a new board can be created.
- Seraphim : A team that has gained trust in their performances, and can compete with boy groups while increasing the scale of their tours / A group that combines the strengths of Blackpink and Twice
- Ailrit : Proposal of viral strategy for the Yeocho community.
- ENHYPEN : Activities are needed to attract domestic fans.
- TUBATU : We need a dramatic moment for fandom growth.
- SEVENTEEN : Discussing plans for a Thailand concert and fandom expansion.

Other groups
- Dongkiz : The members are surprisingly ugly. There was a reason they weren't popular until now.
- Jebewon : The synergy of ugliness is not tolerable
- Ive : I live in a female-only community like Women's Era and establish a discipline for fans.
- Kids : Public opinion has been turning negative since the teaser photos. There are criticisms that the styling is like a Tooniverse cosplay and the outfit is like a bikini, and that it is plagiarism from overseas shopping mall photos.

2. Hive's statement: "This is not Hive's official position."

As the controversy grew, HYBE released an official statement explaining that the report "is not HYBE's official position, but simply a collection of fan and industry reactions gathered online."

The company emphasized that the leaked document was " just a document written to be shared for reference with a small number of internal staff " and that only the provocative content was edited and released to the public.

HYBE also said it would take legal action against the leakers who made it appear as if HYBE was criticizing the artist for some of the provocative content included in the report.

3. Hive State Audit

On October 24, a report on Hive's trends was made public during the National Assembly's state audit. The report included expressions criticizing idol appearances, and Rep. Min Hyung-bae took issue with this and made it public. In particular, the content that said, "The members were all debuted at an age when they were most ugly, so none of them have the facial features of an idol" was at the center of the controversy. As this content became known to fans and the public, the method of Hive's internal data compilation and the problem of idol perception were pointed out.

This latest Hive Trends Report controversy goes beyond a simple data leak, and touches on sensitive areas of the idol industry and fandom culture.

It remains to be seen how the controversy will end, from Hive's statement to future legal action.
