Internet broadcaster 'Gwajeupseyeon' gave a detailed explanation about the process of accompanying Bang Si-hyuk, chairman of HYBE, during their meeting in the United States.
On the 11th, Gwajeupseyeon explained the circumstances of meeting Chairman Bang in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles (LA), through an AfreecaTV (Sup) live broadcast.
She said, "Last year, someone impersonating HYBE sent me a direct message (DM). My sister knows Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, so she asked him, and it turned out to be an impersonator," adding, "That impersonator went to prison, and since it was a serious case with other victims besides me, I helped collect evidence, and through that, Chairman Bang got to know me."

She added, "It’s a popular restaurant, and I really wanted to go, so I asked, and he kindly agreed to accompany me and even guided me."
About the eyewitness accounts that Chairman Bang took photos of the Gwajeupseyeon sisters, she said, "I also saw the photos posted online," and explained, "That day, I went to the restroom because of a stomachache, and Chairman Bang took pictures of my sister."
She joked, "(Chairman Bang) is busy, so how could he follow our schedule?" and said, "I became famous for the photo of us walking before eating. Many people watched my comeback broadcast, so I thought, 'This is a success.' It was just funny."
