Not long ago, it was announced that ATEEZ‘s Hongjoong and Odetari, a Palestinian-American rapper, would release a collaboration track. On January 15, “SMB (w/ Hongjoong of ATEEZ)” was released.
Immediately following the release, netizens theorized Hongjoong’s verse was a call-out directed at HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk and referenced the internal documents leak that occurred last year.
Should I be mad?
This is no fun at all
Act your age, you lazy bum.
Just nod-nod, clap-clap.
Why are you mad?
Think you’re something, hitman?
If you’ve got time to watch others,
better watch your own back.
Du-du-du, bang.
Jealousy and envy rule your life.
Blinded, you talk trash while name-dropping.
A lifetime of playing mind games,
avoiding work, then throwing tantrums late in the game.
Oh, it’s hot—how’s this?
I’m fanning the flames until there’s no trace of your house left.
Subpar, outdated grump.
I know it’s unfair.— Hongjoong in “SMB”
Many reactions have praised the idol for the alleged diss, especially in light of HYBE’s connections to Zionism.

We have no comment.
