253 - HYBE

This week on Stanning BTS, Kayla and Bethany are turning the lens on HYBE, the company that began as Big Hit Entertainment and has since evolved to become a major player with the entertainment landscape. Over the years, the home of BTS has drawn praise and criticism alike, and our hosts set out this week to help separate fact from fiction. To do so, they welcome two guests: Sam (an astronomer) and Kals (a venture capitalist). With the inclusion of listener questions, they unpack some of HYBE's history, the turning points of growth and expansion, and ongoing shifts in public perception. The two take a special interest in how to continue fostering the important fan-artist connection that has always defined BTS as a band, as the company behind them continues to earn a bigger and bigger footprint in the K-pop industry and music business as a whole. Listen to Kayla and Bethany dive in and be sure to subscribe and review wherever you listen.
