A netizen shared in theqoo an article about HYBE and Dunamu’s joint company MOMENTICA apologizing for stealing the portraits of SM Entertainment’s boy group RIIZE, arousing keen attention.
According to the article, MOMENTICA, a digital photocard exchange platform operated by the NFT company jointly created by HYBE and Dunamu, released an apology after they were caught stealing portraits of singers from another company without prior consultation and consent. MOMENTICA said, “We received a report from SM about using RIIZE portraits without SM’s consent in a promotional post”, adding “We would like to apologize to SM and fans who have waited to use the service for our lack of review and consultation in advance.”
It is known that MOMENTICA has been focusing on HYBE artists such as SEVENTEEN, LE SSERAFIM, Enhypen, etc. while RIIZE is a group from SM Entertainment, not HYBE. SM also confirmed that they did not discuss any service or promotional post in collaboration with MOMENTICA.
