Is the stock owned by the BTS members too low compared to their contributions to HYBE?

On February 15, the list of the top financial asset holders in the K-entertainment industry was revealed. Bang Si Hyuk was at the top of the list, followed by J.Y. Park and Yang Hyun Suk in the top 3. Additionally, all seven members of BTS made the top 100.

The report revealed that the chairman of the board of HYBE Labels, Bang Si Hyuk, was the undisputed #1 owner of individual financial assets, possessing approximately 2.57 trillion KRW (~ USD 2 billion) worth of stocks.


All seven BTS members made the top 100 in this category, with SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook each owning approximately 13.3 billion KRW (~ USD 10.4 million) worth of shares. J-Hope possessed the next highest amount of shares at 12.2 billion KRW, RM followed behind with 11.3 billion KRW, and Jin rounded up the group with 10.2 billion KRW.
 

Although it is already amazing that the seven members have made the top 100 list of financial asset holders, some fans are saying that the HYBE stock owned by BTS members is too low compared to their contributions to the company. If you combine all the BTS members' stocks together, it would be worth less than 1% of HYBE's total stocks.

Netizens and fans commented, "They should give more to the members," "HYBE give them more shares," "BTS basically earned most of the profit for HYBE, the company needs to give them more for their contributions," "They basically built the company, they deserve more," "That is so little compared to their contributions for the company," "Bang Si Hyuk has so much, he can share a little more," and "That's so little, I'm surprised how little they were given."

There’s HYBE antis who’s been complaining why it’s BSH who’s hoarding all the money and our boys only has $25mios+ Nett worth each and why they has such a small amount of shares. Hello those shares are free shares given by BSH, freee… BTS are getting paid for everything they did, not getting paid by shares, but real money. Not long ago actually there’s one independent finance watch who reported that each of BTS members net worth were crazy triple digits billions won each, which would send everyone jawdropped. But their post is nowhere to be found very quick. With all the gross income they’ve made annually, the number that company served is about right. (For the one who want to fight, BTS gross more than $75mios 2022 alone for recent PTD on stage, that’s not include album sales + merchs + Ads etc etc). I personally not surprised nor mind, we ARMY knows how much loaded our boys are. They’ve been worked really hard and they deserves it, but if they don’t want to show it off then we will respect that. Our boys are humble, but they’re not stupid. I can assure you that.
