Whether is true or not..im hoping if Pledis will be under Big Hit,hope for the best for Seventeen and Nu'est..treat the boys well and expand more,create music with freedom and promote them more..is all i want about the boys..as what Bang Si Hyuk speech in GDA,i really take his wise speech and words - “I hope that the industry, fans who love music, the media and press will all work together to create an environment where artist can live happy lives as human beings. Humans are human and they should be respected for who they are. I hope that there will be more good things happening this year.”

I just hope BH stay humble and not get greedy. I will hate to see any articles of them or Bang Si-Hyuk doing nasty stuff or treat their artists badly just to earn extra cash. Right now I do respect the guy and the company for giving BTS the freedom to do what they wanted when it came to their songs and concept at least.
