Do you know about the HYBE Boycott?
A Pro-Palestinian Resource Guide for fans of HYBE groups.What is the HYBE Boycott?
This is an organic boycott organized by pro-Palestinian kpop fans in support of the BDS movement.What is BDS?
Palestinians have called for a boycott on companies supporting or funding Israel, Zionists, & Zionism in order to pressure companies to cease funding genocide & to remove Zionists from positions of power.
More info on BDS.Why are we boycotting Israel?
For the past 76+ years, Israel has occupied Palestinian lands and indiscriminately prisoned & killed Palestinians. This has been intensified over the past several months. Israel has bombarded Palestinian homes, schools, & hospitals. Israel's violent genocide has killed over 34,000 Palestinians in the past 7 months--almost 2x the capacity of most U.S. stadium venues.
Live reporting.How is HYBE involved?
HYBE hired Scooter Braun as CEO of HYBE America. Braun is a vocal supporter of Israel (a Zionist) who is known to promote Israel's actions, support its violence towards Palestinians, & take the artists he manages to Israel. In recent months, he has posted graphic anti-Palestinian propaganda, & he has coordinated several HYBE collabs with known Zionists. HYBE also just signed a 10 year deal with UMG, a powerful music company with a Zionist CEO & other Zionist ties.What would a boycott do?
Boycotts are a historically proven method of protest & disruption. While boycotting HYBE will not end the genocide, we can demonstrate our disapproval by withdrawing our support from projects that are affiliated with Zionists like Scooter Braun and demanding that he is fired as CEO.
The boycott targets Braun because he uses his platform to promote Israel and to justify their violence. WIth his position as CEO, he also has the power to connect Zionists to HYBE artists' projects.
Our goal is to kick Scooter out so that he cannot continue to push Zionist propaganda or hire more Zionists under HYBE. If fans loudly boycott HYBE projects, merch, & other releases in support of Palestine, we can send a clear message that Zionism should have no place in art.How can I boycott?
Follow the priorities below. The more aspects of HYBE that you can boycott, the better.
Baseline priority: Talk about Palestine, online & offline. Share Palestinian stories & increase awareness of the genocide.
Priority 1: Be vocal about HYBE's links to Zionism.
Priority 2: Boycott HYBE merchandise--including albums & concert merch.
Priority 3: Boycott any upcoming projects that involve Zionists.
Priority 4: Boycott additional HYBE projects, such as movies, documentaries, pop-ups, or variety shows. If in attendance, use that space to educate & show support of Palestine.
Priority 5: Boycott ALL HYBE music. Listen to CDs or downloads instead of streaming on official platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube.
Priority 6: No engagement on HYBE channels. Do not interact with HYBE's social media accounts unless to show support of Palestine. This does not include artists' personal accounts.
GOAL: Participate in as many aspects of the boycott as you can. As consumers, we must withdraw our support--especially our money--to demonstrate our stance as anti-Zionist.Closing

When distributing zines, please be respectful of other concertgoers, the artists, and the venue. The goal is to use this gathering space of fans to educate on the larger issues happening in Palestine and with HYBE. The emphasis now and forever is on a free Palestine.The organizer strongly encourages fans to wear KN95s, N95s, KF94s, or other respirators at the concerts. COVID is an ongoing threat, and taking precautions is a matter of disability justice and community care. We can only plan for a future of gathering if we protect ourselves and our fellow fans.
