According to V, this happened for a year.

Bang pd loves to control things. That’s why he doesn’t like new jeans and taehyung lmao 😭. No wonder tae and new jeans are so close to each other. They’re his little sisters.

He did the exact same thing with Taehyung. It’s a common theme with Bang PD when he can’t take credit for someone’s success or doesn’t want them to exceed the ones that are his project. The difference is that Tae didn’t hv ppl to defend him like this then. pic.twitter.com/X3uD8NDsS5 https://t.co/wO4vd8HnNF

Of course, netizens are speculating by comparing the two clips, and there is no clear link between the two situations between the groups and the way Bang Si Hyuk treats them. Yet, with all eyes on the situation between HYBE’s Bang Si Hyuk and ADOR, it isn’t surprising that clips are resurfacing and gaining attention.
