HYBE Labels, formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment, has made 'TIME' magazine's '100 Most Influential Companies of 2021'!

This year's '100 Most Influential Companies' list, revealed on April 27, is divided into 5 categories: Pioneers, Leaders, Innovators, Titans, and Disruptors. Among giant names like Twitter, the NBA, Nike, Samsung, Disney, Netflix, and more, entertainment agency HYBE made the list under 'Pioneers'!

HYBE, as many K-Pop fans know, is an emerging music and entertainment empire run by the supergroup, BTS! The entertainment conglomerate garnered attention earlier this year in April, after acquiring American label Ithaca Holdings, home to Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

Indeed, from being an underdog talent agency from South Korea to the one of most influential company now. Wow! Because Hybe knows what to do to nurture their musicians not just like some puppet-making-money-the-end-scenarios. And yeah, hybe has a lot of smart ass moves in business side thats why it rapidly expand globally.

HYBE can certainly keep itself afloat even if BTS members start their mandatory military service. Yes, BTS is obviously still their main cash-cow but they made so many great investments the past 2 years plus SVT, TXT and ENHYPEN are just doing great. No doubt Bang-PD knows how to lead HYBE to the best direction.
