Although it is known for exposing a wide range of news, Dispatch is most familiar to the public for revealing relationships between celebrities.
“Dispatch Reveals” — 7 K-Celeb Couples Exposed By The Media Outlet
Of these relationships, the annual “New Year’s Couple” is one that netizens have come to expect at the start of the year since 2000.
A viral post discussing the potential reveal of a New Year’s couple has sparked a number of discussions online.
Along with guesses of who the couple might be, and recalling previous couples…

… a detail of the past couples was mentioned.
When looking at the past New Year’s couples, and many of the other couples, a netizen noted that none appeared to have been from HYBE.
wait I just realised that they never revealed a couple at hybe??! https://t.co/vAbZwFmyZY

Across the various couples, at least one from the original “Big 3” have been exposed by Dispatch — BLACKPINK’s Jennie and EXO’s Kai were the 2019 New Year’s couple while TWICE Jihyo’s relationship with Kang Daniel was exposed by Dispatch.


The common reason for this avoidance was mentioned to be HYBE paying Dispatch in order to avoid any dating reveals, though a former manager of a K-Pop group has stated otherwise.
i thought its so fucking obvious that hybe is paying them😭 https://t.co/kQqVyJCIUz

Yall making conspiracy theories abt this when companies have always paid to silence Dispatch like thats how it works either the company cares enough abt the idol to pay and bury it or Dispatch releases dating evidence. Blackmail is literally how Dispatch gets their money lol https://t.co/Q9YmVayfnw

At the same time, netizens also criticized those that seemed to hope for a HYBE couple reveal, remarking that, if true, there was nothing wrong with HYBE paying for news not to be released.
Unlike other companies hybe actually pay dispatch to protect their artists dating privacy https://t.co/wz6Z4Tvm7r

As much as y'all hate hybe, hybe is the only company who really cares about their artists private life, even if it means they have to pay dispatch to shut them out. https://t.co/i7CdjKTvSn
