Claims of a connection between HYBE and a cult have been spreading widely, causing sparks to fly towards “Weverse,” a subsidiary of HYBE, and “WeaversMind,” an educational content company with a similar name.

On the 28th, WeaversMind stated through their official account that “the reckless remarks made recently about our company and services are groundless, and we are currently taking legal action concerning these issues.”
Through their educational service “Brain Carving” official website, WeaversMind also firmly denied any association with HYBE’s fan community platform Weverse, stating, “Our company is an educational content company established in 2009. The term “weavers” means the mind of a craftsman weaving a loom, and our company, a domestic venture established with this corporate philosophy of creating content, has no connection whatsoever with a similarly named company that was made a subsidiary of a large entertainment company in 2019.”
They continued, “The Brain Carving service that WeaversMind provides is a content brand that our employees researched and developed for effective language learning. It received a patent in 2013. There is no association between Brain Carving and WeaversMind with any company, religion, or political organization.”
Finally, they stated, “WeaversMind, considering the malicious posts spreading on various online video sites and communities to be serious defamation of the company, has appointed a law firm and is taking strict action against them. Our law firm monitors malicious posts in real-time to collect them as evidence for criminal prosecution,” thereby announcing a robust legal response.
Previously, claims of a connection between HYBE and a cult emerged as the dispute over management rights between HYBE and Min Hee Jin, the representative of ADOR, escalated. These claims spread rapidly on various social media and communities, leading to claims that HYBE’s fan communication platform, Weverse, borrowed its name from the educational content company WeaversMind.
