HYBE, the entertainment company behind NewJeans, has denied allegations that they restricted the music video for “How Sweet” in 14 different countries on YouTube.

On May 27th, HYBE officially addressed the issue. Many viewers had reported being unable to watch the music video due to restrictions.

In their statement, HYBE clarified that they do not set age restrictions when uploading music videos. YouTube independently makes those decisions.

HYBE has requested an explanation from YouTube and hopes to resolve the issue promptly.

Despite this response, some fans remain suspicious. Similar view freezing issues have affected other HYBE artists in the past, leading to ongoing discussions in the music video’s comment section.
