YES!!!

Same! 💜

Same 💪💜😊

Yup

So glad that some understand business and it workings. Not a fan of Braun but totally love BTS and support Bighit.

Agreed. Scooter gives me the ick, but in the end, what he did to Taylor was morally reprehensible, but it was legal. It’s called business. Sometimes business is cold and calculated in ways that make me uncomfortable, but that’s how the world works. I’ll choose other battles to fight.

People are getting worked up over Svooter Braun being a Zionist. Lots of ARMYs are boycotting BTS because of this, but he’s CEO of HYBE AMERICA not HYBE KOREA. He has nothing to do with BTS.

So you're forgetting about Justin Bieber and others he screwed over.... Scooter is poison. Scooter is over Hybe America but he still has his poisoned fingers in Hybe Korea....He took credit for working with JK's album

@@harrietcaldwell9228 don’t play Bang P D short. Right now he is positioning his company’s to enter the global market. Once that is done and he no longer needs scooter things will change.

Great comment!💜

Question: can 🛵 be fired at the end of his contract without paying a penalty, or because he didn’t do what he was supposed to in the contract ? I would think yes, but you may know more than me.

@@sandralovecchio7597I don't know much about it myself, but it would depend on the part of the contract that went unfulfilled, and why. 'Extenuating circumstances'. It would also depend on whether it was cost-efficient to let him go compared to keeping him on. And by that I mean cost in terms of finances, but also in terms of reputation, morale and promotions.

@@sandralovecchio7597 His contract may not be renewed sure, with less penalty for Hybe (at this scale, there is always a golden parachute) The second case, if he does something wrong according to the contract, he can be fired (under de condition of the contract)

@@sandralovecchio7597once a contract is done it’s done. HYBE doesn’t have to renew it nor does Scooter Braun have to accept it. That’s goes for anyone working under a contract.

I totally agree. There are lots of greedy people out there, that will do you wrong. (Ex: check out the Diddy situation)

I agree. This collaboration is concerning, especially after what happened to Taylor Swift and her involvement in Scooter Braun's so called business ethics.

Me neither

It’s extremely concerning and my bad feelings have nothing to do with politics - I couldn’t give a crap about his religion; it has to do with my knowledge of his history and what he’s done to people in the industry and other artists. Don’t get me started on the CEO of UMG! Suffice it to say he is directly involved as a co-defendant in the legal mess against Diddy. Business is business but there’s also destruction and crime in business; so, that attitude doesn’t jive with me.

And now He’s made a deal with UMG - the CEO is directly implicated in that dark mess with Diddy! I see disaster in the future…

@@ArmantoAlex13Have you watched this video. Seems that facts cannot challenge your version of events SB is no worst no better than any US artist manager; we know about him bcse he is good at his jib and made Justin, Ariana and Taylor big stars, so when they challenge his control, they made the headlines. We have no idea what happens to 99.9% of US artists, bcse they aren’t famous enough nor wealthy enough to fight back. Otherwise, SB wouldn’t be the only infamous US artist manager we would know

You don’t have the info bcse investments are private. However, in business merger deals (Ithaca became Hy Am), it’s not unusual that the former owners get shares in lieu of cash payments, so SB may have some few shares (BigPD owns 60+% of Hy shares,he’s the boss!), probably even less than B7S members do. SB is a qualified expert in the US music industry and the CEO of Hy Am, so he cud be a director due to it. But, BHM is independent from HY’s Board of Directors and shareholders; BTS has complete creative independence, as their soloist debut showed, no one can interfere with them. Still, Hy resources, incl SB, are there for them to use and benefit from. And why not? They,BigHit’s talented employees, and ARMY contributed greatly for BangPD to creare Hybe Corp

@@delasmercedes2940 Oh so, basically, listening to groups under bighit, even though bighit is independent from hybe, scooter still get a profit from them?

No ,​@@aliifaae

Hi.🙂I totally agree with your last 2 sentences.💜But if you see this again, could you please explain to me what you mean by 'If Hybe looses money, it’s BTS/BIGHIT that give them money'? Do you mean that BIGHIT has to make up for any money that HYBE loses? To my non-business ears, that sounds kinda "hinky".😕Could you help me understand?😳Thanks ahead!💜

​​@@bdfhvxzlet's just say putting a stocks in HYBE is like a bet or gamble. If HYBE makes money, you'll get your shares, but if HYBE can't make money, you won't necessarily lose money, you'll just not earn anything. The one truly losing money is HYBE.

​@@bdfhvxzBasically, if HYBE goes bankrupt, it's not necessary BIG HIT going bankrupt cause they're completely different entity.

@@rafaelsmith5737 Thank you for taking the time to explain!🙂 Borahae!💜

Scooter has no say, artistically, in what BTS do. BTS (and TXT and Lee Hyun) are under Big Hit, which is independent of HYBE America. It's under HYBE Korea, CEO Park Jiwon. Scooter can *request* that one of the Big Hit artists work with him, but no one will be *required* to do so. And BTS essentially manage their own music now; if they don't like a project, they'll either change it or politely decline it.

Hybe es una corporación de empresas. Los únicos que deben apoyar a Bts y lo hacen es Hybe Korea bajo Park Jiwon, específicamente bajo Bighit music. Bts elige como serán sus proyectos y sus promociones, su empresa es privada e independiente. Hagan lo que hagan con Hybe America no afecta ni beneficia a bts

@@cherlizzeeguiliorBig Hit is a subsidiary of Hybe that operates independently from Hybe.

@@ArmantoAlex13 that’s exactly what i said

@@cherlizzeeguilior I read your comment to mean Hybe, the CEO of Hybe, is involved with BTS; so, that’s why I responded that BTS (and TXT and Hyunie) are 💯 under the management of BH, which is merely a branch of Hybe but operates on its own; so if I mistook your comment as something different, that’s my bad.

I will but I think i will do it in a controlled environment, probably in my Patreon. Once in a while, haters come here and wreck havoc and I don't want you guys to have to deal with them. i delete a lot of comments here just to avoid the toxicity to turn away regular viewers. I will explain the Scooter Braun's bad "reputation", BTS independence, etc.

@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture Thank you so much! I’m sorry you have so much toxicity coming at you. I’m surprised because you’re so nice and you make sense. You do a great job curating the comments because they look good here. Thanks for all your great work!

Anybody who is or thinks about BOYCOTTING BTS is not I say it again IS NOT A TRUE ARMY . THINK B4 U ACT. REMEMBER WHAT ARMY MEANS AND STAND FOR , THE MEMBERS WOULD NOT WANT THIS AT ALL . I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BTS AND PURCHASE THERE ALBUMS RATHER SOLO OR TOGETHER .

That's stretching things. You notice that not only did they not get a grammy for Butter, they didn't even get nominations for 2023, despite ten submissions. It's not lack of lobbying or profits that's keeping the academy from awarding them, it's simply the fact that they're seen as inferiors by the US industry. They're K-pop and they're not American, so the most the academy is willing to do is try to use their popularity to get viewers...all the while insisting that the BTS phenomenon is a fad that will quickly pass. 🙄

@@ystrw I should clarify: IT CAN BE SPECULATED. I'll edit now. But no, this speculation is not a stretch at all. Sources did say that there was NO CAMPAIGN AT ALL for Dynamite. NONE. The writer is from the UK, and Columbia did not campaign for BTS since BTS left Columbia. While UMG was campaigning for Bieber and Swift. Those, are the facts which you can cross check yourself.

@HailToTheMeep who is that writer? I know Columbia campaigned but maybe that writer's context is different? i'd be interested to know.

@@HailToTheMeep I take your point: obviously when one doesn't have a campaign, one can't expect results. Kinda like the lottery: don't play, can't win. But my point is: it's impossible to say for sure whether the lack of campaign cost them a grammy, but the fact that they didn't win one when there *were* campaigns in their favor argues that a campaign for Dynamite would have brought the same results as campaigns for Butter, Like Crazy, Wildflower, Indigo, Face, D-Day, etc. IE, 'nope.' The Academy is too heavily influenced by the people in the industry who see BTS as a threat and want nothing to do with awarding them. That's why BB shut down their Social Artist prize before BTS could set a new record for wins.

Campaign for the Grammys, is buying votes from those who vote, something BTS abhor. It’s about dinning, partying and gifting individuals (peer artists), qnd parading BTS members as show pieces Most who vote are old generation US artists nominees and have no exposure to new music. Generally, Grammy voters vote for their friends in the industry, always US goes first, so, not necessarily for the best, with some exception of course I don’t expect BTS to win a Grammy, unless it’s a collab and even then. I’m OK, as I’d rather they don’t get involved in the “dirty dancing “ that takes place pre-awards

He’s a crook. You obviously know nothing about his history - he’s left a trail of destruction and deceit. This is who BSH has gotten into bed with and it’s NOT a good thing.

And BH operates independently so he will have nothing to do with the group. BTS needs to stay far away from that man. Nobody benefits from SB except SB. His history is proof of that.

@@ArmantoAlex13Pls, SB isn’t any worse than most US artist managers, we know nothing about bcse they aren’t as successful in turning artists into mega starts, like SB did for Justin, Ariana and Taylor, to name a few US music industry is a cut throat, survival of the strongest industry; no much different from K-pop, from the latter BangPD and BigHit Music were different, so Hy is different. But, they have to also learn from SB to survive in the US as a business enterprise. Meanwhile, BTS are well protected in BHM, plus they have 10+ of experience surviving in the K-pop cruel jungle+master degrees in business management; no worries there

I really got a bad feeling about this but who am I to judge, what happens I hope boys won't suffer from it. I don't understand if Mr. Bang is really desperate for Grammys or more power. I really don't like were this is going. Scooter is not someone u can put trust in, I saw what he wanted to do with Zayn Malik after he left One direction but glad he skipped that trap.

@@NaswidaNalunjogiif you truly understand what she is saying, conjecture about Bang PD, you don’t know business. He created a multi billion dollar entertainment company with BTS, why would he not do his due diligence to prevent him to lose everything that the guys helped him build. Make no mistake, Bang PD and BTS members as well as HYBE are not stupid.

@@Mairage the thing that I don't understand is from the beginning Scooter said he only wanted Jk not the band even though they are very talented so now what makes u think that he is a good person what made him change his mind . But all in all we are just fans, our role is just support them so am not urging, I just got a bad feeling and it's ok.

People are really being manipulated to hate Scooter by the media and Taylor Swift. When will people realize her father was one of the owners of the company that sold her record and made $16+ mil from it? Scooter is just a business man.

You do realise don't you that if he didn't own Taylor Swift's record he couldn't have sold them. He was never sued because they belonged to him. Swift was the one behaving like spoilt brat she knew her father owned her music and he sold that to Scooter so he then legally owned it. She never owned any of it. She should have got a lawyer look at her contract before deciding to sign thinking it didn't matter if so she's stupid. But she wanted to cause problem and have a hissy fit instead.

Why they lost money, can you please tell??

Why would BTS pay for Payola now after all these years? If they do, they would've started with the English songs. If you actually do some research, you will find out Taylor Swift, and the media manipulated her fans. The media loved her, and they made it seem like she was the victim. Her dad was one of the owners of the company that sold her record to Scooter. Scooter was just doing a business deal, and anyone who understands business would realize that. There was no way she didn't know about it since her father made $16+ mil from it. People have been brainwashed by media like what they did to Britney Spear.

Bts members have masters degrees in business and music. They understand everything very well. Bts have alot of power in the company.

Scooter did nothing wrong. Taylor never owned her music the label did. The label can sell a artist work.

The real problem with YT- apart from censoring comments- is that YT freezes and deletes BTS views. We all know this platform's ridiculous rules for what counts as a view, but what they don't tell us is that they only allow Y views per person, per 24 hours, before they stop counting the views that person brings. Some say you get five views of a video (every 15 minutes, of course) and then no more will be counted; some say it's more, or less. I think the number of views depends on how popular the video is. That is, the more people are watching it, the fewer of their views are counted. And I know for a fact that YT has put barriers in place to prevent videos from reaching a certain number of views within a certain amount of time. For example, say they don't want a video exceeding 10M views in 12 hours. So, once it does reach 10M, it rolls back to 8 or 9M, and then freezes there. Once it's been 12 hours, they unfreeze it and allow it to reach 10M. Now they don't want it passing 15M views in 18 hours, so when it does, they freeze it again and delete it back to 13 or 14M. This results in a views-per-hour that looks like stair-steps instead of like a smooth rising line /... and that's exactly what's happened to almost all of the guys' releases during the solo era. It took 'Like Crazy' three days to pass the 30M mark because it kept being pushed back to 28 and 29M; it happened again at 50M; it's happened with Butter, as soon as that one crossed the 900M count. (YT REALLY does not want another BTS song to cross a billion; Butter and BS&T are both having views deleted.) So I wish Big Hit would haul off YT and make more use of their own platform, Weverse. Leave enough here to get people interested, like the MV teasers and Run episodes and such, but host their music where they can monitor the views/streams for themselves.
