Bang Si-hyuk, chairman of HYBE, has been spotted walking in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, with a woman, drawing significant attention.


Recently, various online communities and social media platforms have circulated a photo taken by a Chinese tourist showing Bang walking alongside a woman in a sheer white shirt. The woman, who was seen carrying an expensive shopping bag, has sparked curiosity online, with comments such as, "She resembles Gajuk Seyun," and "I wonder who she is this time."


There is also interest in Bang's noticeable weight gain compared to his appearance last September when he attended the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency as a suspect. Some netizens reacted by saying, "Has the yo-yo effect hit? It seems like he has gained weight again," and "It feels like he has returned to his pre-diet appearance." However, it has not been confirmed whether Bang has used any obesity treatment medications.


Previously, in August 2024, Bang was seen in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, with BJ Gajuk Seyun (Inseyeon), which generated considerable buzz. At that time, Gajuk Seyun's older sister was also present, and HYBE explained that Bang was helping a friend with restaurant reservations and sightseeing guidance. Gajuk Seyun later clarified the same point during a live broadcast.
