    > A larger human rights issue at not only HYBE but in the wider entertainment industry also surfaced during the audit, regarding working hours.
    >
    > HYBE was named a leading workplace company by the Ministry of Employment and Labor this year, which provides tax cuts and other incentives to companies that offer its employees quality welfare benefits and a sound workplace environment.
    >
    > **However, an employee died after working overtime at the company in September 2022. The incident was not classified as industrial accident. According to Rep. Jung Hye-kyung of the progressive Jinbo Party, an employee collapsed in the middle of the office while working and died even after they were transferred to a hospital.**
    >
    > “The entertainment industry is notorious for overworking its staff under the pretense of ‘passion,’” Jung said. “HYBE should be providing the correct environment for people as a leader in the industry, but so many young people are having their dreams held hostage and pushed to the limit instead.”
