i dont actually think big hit will have the highest growth.... they already grew so much this year that it would be hard to have the highest again because that means they will have to beat out JYP who grew by over 100% this year (among others) with big hit already making such a large amount of money- growing by over 100% would be nearly impossible. and with BTS at their peak right now, unless they have another group debut in 2019 that has the exact same success, it would be hard to pull off. there is only so much money to be had from one group. so unless he plans on having them tour EVERY SINGLE DAY next year, they can't earn that much more money than they did this year.
