BangPD making BigHit a private company was GENIUS!!!! Love that he did that to protect Bangtan!!!

And all this BECAUSE OF BTS BTS MADE HYBE. PERIOD

Shout it from the rooftops!! Without BTS, there would be no HYBE!! Bangtan trust Bang PD & so should we! He’s the genius that keeps them growing to new heights. I truly hope ARMY start listening to intellectuals like yourself!! So tired of hearing boycott HYBE! :( Thank you again for another super informative post! Borahae!!!!

BTS and Bang went through it all. Suffering, hard work, humiliation and they were certainly ambitious and it has paid off. What not to love about BTS?❤💜

It’s just amazing and mind blowing that Bang and BTS did this in the last ten years. I find it so incredibly inspiring. 7 boys working so hard with great a great producer made THIS - HYBE! I love how in Jungkook’s interview with Zane Lowe, Zane makes a point of making this fact known, that it was their hard work that built all that. I can’t even imagine, honestly, how the guys must feel about this fact. It must be incredible and a source of pride too. Along with their amazing ARMY- the best fan base IN THE WORLD!

I agree with you saying “let’s continue supporting them” - I believe in BTS and will always support them.

Good explanation! We can all agree BTS controls their own destiny💜

It was not a concert, but a compilation of performances. But it's still an amazing feeling from the big screen: someone was singing loudly, shouting in the cinema hall. I CRIED from the overflow of emotions. Suga's creativity is so deep that I drown in it. Music for the general public is a business. In order for the creative side (BTS) to develop freely, the material side must also develop (conglomerate). It is surprising when do not understand this.

A diverse portfolio disperses the firm's risk, reducing the likelihood of exit from the market. BTS and their team, Bang PD, BIGHIT MUSIC, and HYBE used to be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with major stars and labels. However, they have now surpassed them all. They will continue leading the industry with their innovations and creator autonomy-centered success shining brightly into the future. Just as the lyrics states, "Yeah, the past was honestly the best (the best), but my best is what comes next (but my best is what comes next). We'll be singin' 'til the morn. 그날을 향해 더 우리답게. You and I, best moment is yet to come." 💜

As I've said before BigHit is 'Ring Fenced' Bang saw to that.

It is crazy how some people view money but I understand what you are saying. Money is something that is always moving; it has momentum and it is either growing or shrinking! With the success of HYBE, $$$ is growing and that what ALL businesses want. People know the story of how BTS / BangPD struggled to get to where they are and I hope one day SK will see stories like this as inspiration and not something to judge them on. (Also the fact that BTS contributes so much to the SK economy should be an incentive to change their views for the good and not bad).

It was great seeing the concert in IMAX after watching it at 4am just on my computer screen! We had a fun audience also.

Allegedly, Bang Si Hyuk, HYBE, and Big Hit Entertainment are where they are because of the Success Of The BTS Member's! RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jimin, and JK are ♾️ Forever! These Boy's Have Shown The World That They Are The #1 Boy Group In The World, And They Are Showing The World That They Are Resilient Military Service Soldier's. God Bless Them Now And ♾️ Forever! 😊❤️👍. 🌟🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🌟

Your charts really make it easy to follow what you're telling us. Well done, Fairlane!

I believe and trust in BTS always 💜💜💜🤟🇺🇸💜💜💜💜

omg Patreon is up now!! I feel the same way about money. I found that money was like shackles once i hit 40. I am now 100x more happy without worrying about money. I need enough to support myself and that's it. I'm considered below the poverty level by quite a bit but I can pay my bills, rent, and car insurance. I live alone so no one to help share the load but I am happier alone. :) I think what you said about money is very important and people should really consider the impact money has on their life.

Me to I understand you, it was really good, not as good as live but we got JK, Jimim, and RM😊. What a smart man, love just to listen talk.

Im extra nervous now about the Agust D movie, because of what you said, whew. I doubt I will leave without sobbing. I cried my eyes out just watching the concert footage online. Being surrounded by a sold out crowd of fans will be even worse. I've never cried at the theater before and prided myself on that. Ill probably cry through the trailers before it even starts, lol. My ticket is for Saturday. I have my [The Earth is Flat Didnt You Know That?] shirt ready to go. I also have my bunny hat that you press the paws to flap the ears all ready to go. Im super sad that i dont have a light stick tho. I cant afford it. I wonder if bts had "Light Sticks for the Poor" campaign, lol I really dont have a bias cause i love them all but Yoongi has my heart. This is gonna kill me. 😢

Bang PD is often overlooked when people talk about BTS's success. He is the dreamer behind BigHit...then HYBE.💜 Thank you for his analysis...

The shop lifters problem is in the state of California not the whole USA

Bts, Army and Bighit is trinity being. Even bang sihyuk choose to stay on bighit instead of managing hybe.

There were only 9 other's at the showing I went to they were all very quiet were as I was singing and calling out rap lines. I even managed quite a few of the Korean lyric's really enjoyed it However I missed my bus back up the hill and decided it was best to await another 30mins in the cold for 15mins it was running late. I'd walked down but the lighting on one bit walking home isn't great due to all the over hanging trees from the woods. I came home on a bit of a high so I have some idea how you might be feeling.

Interesting video. Korean tv series (I just finished ‘Reborn Rich’) so often portray chaebol culture as including many really egotistical, greedy, unethical, and nasty people!-yet convinced they are better than ‘ordinary people.’ I wonder how exaggerated these portrayals are… // Last night’s ‘Suga: The Movie’…WOW!🎉🥰

I just remember that he kept bighit a private company..

I Trust and Support BTSOT7, Army Love Everyone! 🙋🏽‍♀️🤗😍😘💜💞✌🏽🙏🏽🌎🇺🇸 #BTSxArmyGlobalDomination

Since the new contracts each BTS member is now on the board of either BigHit or Hybe. Let’s hope if anyone becomes a Chebol it should be them💜

Blood,sweat and tears

I sang and screamed just like I did during the concert. It was great. I always agree with your comments about money.

Well said, specially the part you need is food, and somewhere to live rest is just a plus

Great video thanks 💜🇺🇲🇵🇪💜

Interesting take. Very enlightening. Some people are so apprehensive about this epic change in the company set-up. But PD is a very shrewd businessman, and a visionary who takes huge calculated risks that somehow pay off. Big! Its no wonder the boys have complete trust in his leadership. I look forward to a more fulfilling relationship between them. They've come a long way, *together* 😊. But guys, just brace yourselves for even more h@te from the antis.To their chagrin Hybe isn't crumbling like they expected, after their well ochestrated "Boycott". To the contrary, the company is thriving! Bitter pill to swallow. I have complete trust in Bang PD, just like BTS. He's done a marvelous job so far steering the Bighit ship and I can't wait to see where he docks next. 2025 can't come soon enough, my excitement! is 💃💃💃💃

Thank you for doing this! I love it! I like the graphic at 0:34 but it is not up to date. (is there a date for this?) - BELIFT since fall last year - I think - now belongs 100% to HYBE - there is also a HYBE Latin America (no idea what it is called) and I think they bought a label there, too I can't read the the graphic at 3:29 . It's too blurry. Good that the names are readable on a later graphic: 3:41 You nice! keep going! 💜

My Forever 7 Did That 😎💜

me too..the movie is bitin

I love your videos. You always have a level head and explain things fully for those that need understanding. So thank you very much. Having said all that, BTS members - all seven - tell us to trust them, and so I do. I don't care if HYBE becomes the biggest conglomerate in the world. BTS are under Bighit Music and are not on the board of directors, so they don't make these decisions. But make no mistake. They know what they're doing as individuals and a group. Anyone that has a problem with this just wants to have something to hate, besides themselves. Yes, BTS made HYBE possible, yet HYBE continues to grow and expand and that's what winners do. I have faith that OT7 are okay with this and so should ARMY be. If you're not on board, get off board! 💜

This video recommendation came at the right time 😂 I really hope HYBE is able to overcome this issue with Min Hee Jin

Your commentaries are always wise, more people should watchingyou to understand those kind of issues. Thx again! The concert movie was super fun, I had a great time even if some choices frustrated me a bit...

I hope BTS become owners of HYBE ALSO THEY DESERVE TO BE OWNERS ALSO.

I laugh when people say Yoongi is anti-capitalist. I'm like you mean the guy who does Samsung commercials in the middle of his concerts? 😂 Like you said though he's not like the people who hoard wealth he's incredibly generous so earning a lot of money is nothing to be ashamed of.

I find it ever more puzzling at how to reasonably support BTS....programs on Disney+, J Hope on the Street on Amazon Prime, the B21 series with actors will be on some platform I never heard of, Sugar in very select movie theatres. I really wonder where they think this will go, it all seems so fragmented. Do they really think Army has limitless money? It really feels too difficult to all these divergent paths. How many streaming services do they think we will join even in the US?

Excellent content.

Thank you, interesting as always :)

BTS can still OPT OUT of Dynamic Pricing which would be a great amazing help to ARMY!!! I hope they consider this. Once again....great content and Thank you so much for posting!!!

One thing, please raise the volume of your mic or audio. It is much lower than the average video on youtube. Other than that, I enjoy your posts.

3:35 Chaebol's are mainly old money, (generational wealth) BTS members are new money (Rich but not born rich) & I don't think any of them are interested in running a business tho. So them becoming a chaebol is unlikely. Though obviously they can if they want to, but the question is would they? I don't mind if they become one, but I also don't mind if they don't, as long as they're happy & healthy.

You are too funny 😂

Without Bang PD, there would be no BTS he put them together don't underestimate his contribution, Hybe is a company, Bighit is BTS label.

Great video

**This is gonna be super long. This, for me, has been really upsetting and frustrating. I hope you read the whole thing and maybe think about tackling it.** On the topic of money, etc. I would love to hear your take on [fan content and copyright]. Tldr: ranting about Hybe being money grubbing bstards punishing army for paying tribute to bts. I watched a presentation from Bang Si-Hyuk-nim. In it he made an important point. Dont quote me here cause my memory sucks lol. But he talked about the first time they saw a reaction video by a famous KZfaqr. That all the sudden it drew in massive amounts of attention and new Army. And then they realized the true power of diverse social media. He was very positive about the impact. Ok. So one of the reasons i came to be an Army was by one of the various reaction videos out there. I got addicted withouy even hearing their music. I thought they were hilarious. Now theyve copyright claimed the hell out of reaction videos. It was minor at first. Just the most egregious offenders. Now they are so bad that any reaction videos are completely fragmented and almost unwatchable. KZfaq will straight up block an upload if it feels like too much. Then you get audio removed. If you keep going then your channel has the chance of being demonetized. So, KZfaq, literally being the main source for the fandom, Hybe is now punishing Army for positive fan content. That A: brings curious people into the fandom. B: increases retention by constantly engaging fans with new and interesting content. C: Encourages more Army content creators on all platforms. This causes buzz of course leading back to A. Ok, so now a lot of fan content has been gutted even after they take the copyright claim and just want to post their content. A lot being almost unwatchable. Channels demonetized. Oh and the removal of physical fan art installations. They suddenly decided to "demand the dismantling and the removal of BTS-themed sculptures and murals". These types of things are not profitting so wth is going on here? These types of things draw tourists and also attracts curious people into the fandom. Korea boasts that BTS brings 5 to 8 trillion won into the tourism industry. They removed the BTS SPRING DAY BUS STOP. Think about that. The bus stop has nothing on it to indicate bts (that i know of). It was a massive tourist attraction for photos since 2018. Bringing tons of revenue to Gangeung tourist industry helping all businesses to thrive. Its always good to spread prosperity to small businesses. It only HELPS Korea. I wonder how many people decide not to go because a lot of tourist attractions torn down. The city protested and asked to negotiate but were firmly denied and other locations too like Busan. Mural in Daegu dedicated to Suga and V, hometown. A massive attraction for Army's visiting Korea for the first time. Driving around for all the cool photo zones. Who doesnt want to get a picture sitting in the Spring Day bus stop? Gone. Now what do they get to see? The Hybe building? All of what I mentioned here are demonstating the love we have for BTS. These are beautiful tributes they ripped out, painted over or deleted. How is that bad? Why isnt Korea doing something about this? Yes, these are real copyright concerns. But you have to do the math. Theyve been supportive of fan made content for years. Everything they have done is punishing the fandom. A giant portion of Army can attributed to all these things. Social media is literally their bread and butter. So why? They are costing Korea millions in tourism. They are removing content that draws in Army and by nature generates retention and engagement. Copyright is one thing but they got to try to find middle ground that isnt punishing the fandom. Okay i could go on forever but im seriously pssed off. Why are there no protests? They protest stupid crp. There is no outcry. Its silently happening all the time and their methods are becoming so restrictive that making a reaction video just isnt worth it. Im just so frustrated. Ok end of rant. But consider this, Hybe started doing this right after the boys were all enlisted. Do you guys think that bts would approve? Bts and BigHit have always been generous with free content. They have always put Army first. Now we are being punished for expressing our love for bts in various ways. Do the boys know? Do they know and cant prevent it. The destruction of priceless tributes to BTS. Painting over murals is permanent. Punishing social media content creators and fans. Omg this took forever to write on my stupid phone and shaking hands. I was hoping you would be interested in tackling this subject? Literally no one is talking about this. They are harassing Hybe over stupid crap. But no one seems to notice this erosion that Hybe is quietly causing. No one protesting the destruction of priceless art installation. Im super upset. 😢 Thank you 💜

How will it affect BTS? A true LOL during that irreverent segment. So much joy!😂 Yes, money is merely a tool. Money itself is not the issue. It's the love of money that is the root of all evil. That means that a poor man who covets money and a rich man that hoards money are both sinful. If you keep your hands open to keep the money to you, and through you, you won't have any issues. If you think that a certain dollar amount, a certain fancy car, and a certain mansion will make you happy, you'll become very depressed once you obtain them when you realize how little they add value to your life after the newness wears off.

More wise words thank you. 💜

You forgot ador is a sublabel

The success story of Bang and BTS is the Korean-American dream come true as the underdogs won. I am not sure of the new associations with very evil entertainment despots in the US that always reward becoming a part of their groups. Does one really want a Puff Daddy scandal to hit K-Pop?

3:44. 9:18 lmao 10:16

There is nothing more unnerving, false and shallow than thinking that BTS owns Hybe because thanks to their talent, they allowed Hybe to grow This way. As the saying goes « Render unto Caesar that which is to Caesar’s ». BTS members know more than anyone of their fans, what they owe to Big Hit (Hybe), and vice versa. BTS wouldn’t have existed without Big Bang, and Big Bang wouldn’t have made it without BTS. That you don’t agree about what Hybe has become, so be it. But that’s the name of the game. Let it go Therefore, enough of these silly and petty calculations that are not constructive to the debate.

Thank you for this,it helps me understand just a bit more on the subject 🤗💜🫡

What are you talking about? Shoplifters are getting arrested all the time. Huh??
