ALT As we enter our third year of boycotting HYBE due to their Zionist ties, unethical corporate practices, artwashing of the genocide against the Palestinian people, directly donating to the IOF and having Scooter Braun—a prominent Zionist in the music industry who has been spreading dangerous fascist islamophobic propaganda—in the past as CEO of HYBE America and now as senior advisor and member of the board of directors (remaining a significant and influential shareholder and advisor), we call on all HYBE fandoms to escalate the boycott’s baseline in the spirit of the BDS/PACBI guidelines for consumer boycott and pressure targets. Total Consumer Boycott: purchase of digital and physical albums & streaming music on official streaming services, all merchandise, and all concert and tour tickets (paid live streams included). This is an elevation that adds merchandise and concert/tour tickets to the “no exceptions” boycott. Pressure Targets: all other monetary assets associated with HYBE.
![The success of our #NoBTSinApartheid campaign, which led to the last seven BTS film releases not being screened in the settler colony of Israel anymore, has shown that we can achieve great results when we collectively focus on highlighted actions and remain loud and steadfast. “Overseas fandom’s political involvement has been intensifying around the Israel issue. The most sensible course for us is to wait for it to pass. [...] After this controversy, Weverse has been placing restrictions on words used in foreign fandom’s public posts” - HYBE internal report, November 2024](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HCoJk0aWwAA4WWJ.jpg?name=orig)

ALT Boycotting companies that directly or indirectly support the settler colony of Israel and its apartheid regime, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, or have ties to influential Zionists who help the colony benefit from said company and support the oppression of Palestinians, is a tool that uses economic and cultural pressure against Israel, its human rights violations, and fascist ideology. Cultural and economic boycotts are a powerful weapon in decolonization and denormalization of Zionism in different industries. Monetary boycotts of these companies involve withdrawal of ALL financial support to create economic pressure. Reducing the revenue of these companies, such as HYBE, can influence their policies, practices and affiliations to align more with human rights standards. BDS is a Palestinian-led movement that has been organizing these boycotts for 20 years and encourages organizations and individuals to refrain from financing these companies and purchasing their products.
ALT Why are we boycotting HYBE • HYBE America former CEO and now senior advisor and member of the board of directors, Scooter Braun's support of the genocide: spreading Islamophobic and racist propaganda against Palestinians. organizing a pro-Israel exhibition and is involved in screening a pro-genocide film, which includes hoaxes and footage of rape-tortured Palestinians. He has participated in fundraisers for the IOF, traveled to the apartheid state to endorse the settler colony, and met with Netanyahu during,sharing photos of their meeting on social media. Additionally, he holds the title of "honorary member" of the CCFP, an organization that galvanizes support for the apartheid state by spreading propaganda through the entertainment industry. While we’re happy about Scooter stepping down as CEO of HYBE America last year and see it as a step in the right direction, we remain resolute in our demand to completely remove Braun from HYBE as executive advisor and director of the board.
ALT 우리는 팔레스타인, 수단, 콩고, 이란에 이르기까지 전 세계의 억압받는 사람들과 연대하여 HYBE를 보이콧하고 있습니다. HYBE는 대량 학살의 이미지를 세탁하고 소독하며 그들의 예술가들을 선전 도구로 사용하는 범죄에 연루된 많은 사람들 (프로듀서, 경영진, 피처링 아티스트, 브랜드 등) 을 의식적으로 참여시켰습니다. 우리는 팬으로서 (ARMY, CARAT, MOA, ENGENE, Fearnot, LUNE, ONEDOOR, EYKONS, COER, GLLIT, 42) 시온주의자, 학대자, 인종차별주의자, 제국주의자들이 우리 예술가들의 작품에 참여하는 것을 용납하지 않을 것입니다. 우리는 우리의 목소리가 들리고 교육에 중대한 변화가 있을 때까지 HYBE를 보이콧할 것이며, "치유를 위한 음악과 예술가" 와 "음악을 믿습니다" 라는 메시지를 유지할 것입니다. 음악이 전 세계적인 해악을 위해 사용될 때는 이러한 주장을 할 수 없습니다. 이는 인류, 정의, 큰 사랑을 지지하기 위한 결정입니다. 연대, ARMY, CARAT, MOA, ENGENE, FEARNOT, LUNÉ, ONEDOOR, EYEKONS, COER, GLLIT, 42
ALT We are boycotting HYBE in solidarity with oppressed people everywhere, from Palestine, Sudan, Congo to Iran. HYBE has consciously involved many people (producers, executives, featuring artists, brands etc.) who are guilty in crimes of artwashing and sanitizing the image of genocide and using their artists as propoganda tools. We as fans (ARMY, CARAT, MOA, ENGENE, FEARNOT, LUNE, ONEDOOR, EYEKONS, COER, GLLIT, 42) will not tolerate the involvement of Zionists, abusers, racists and imperialists within the works of our artists. We are boycotting HYBE until our voice is heard and significant changes are made in education and maintaining the message of "Music and Artist for Healing" and "We Believe in Music" - You can not claim these statements when music is used for global harm. This is a decision made in support of humanity, justice and great love. Signed in Solidarity, ARMY, CARAT, MOA, ENGENE, FEARNOT, LUNÉ, ONEDOOR, EYEKONS, COER, GLLIT, 42
