Recently, HYBE announced they would release a new virtual girl group called SYNDI8. The group consists of members Canary, Raven, Nest, and Goyo.
However, an illustrator recently exposed HYBE after receiving an offer to work with them to design a new virtual girl group.
“I received an offer from a subsidiary label of HYBE to design a virtual girl group. I was angry because after I explained the cost and the details of the offer, the designer didn’t respond and cut off all contact.
The announcement of the new virtual group came out today. Many people thought that I designed the group and after receiving the images, it felt strange.
If you look at the third photo, the style they first showed me through sketches is not seen at all, and the drawing style has changed.
Do the fans think that I took the offer?
They did send me an offer but I didn’t take it. It must be a coincidence that the outcome is totally different from their initial sketches and looks similar to my style, right? They must’ve really looked up a lot of references or worked hard tracing and using a spoid.”
They also added photo comparisons of HYBE’s initial sketches with their own drawing style.
