Park Jiwon - Variety500 - Top 500 Entertainment Business Leaders

While each of BTS’ members are pursuing solo projects, the group’s 10th-anniversary release, “Take Two,” became its seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard Global 200. That’s a record, with runner-up Bad Bunny topping it three times. Two of the BTS crew, Jimin and Jung Kook, each took songs to the top on the Hot 100 this year, while another member, Agust D (Suga), made his first solo appearance on that chart. In all, HYBE earned 15 placements on the Hot 100 in the past 12 months to go with the 11 albums that entered the Billboard 200 in that same window, with K-pop groups Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together and Enhyphen contributing to that success. HYBE’s global fan-engagement app Weverse continues to grow, scoring more than 100 million downloads and 10 million monthly active users who tap into more than 90 artists from South Korea, the U.S., Japan and other territories.
