[theqoo] IF "BTS' FATHER" BANG SIHYUK-SSI DIDN'T EXIST, K-POP WOULD'VE NEVER SUCCEEDED GLOBALLY...

Kim Young-min (55), Chairman of HYBE JAPAN, gave his first interview with the Japanese media since taking office.

The Yomiuri Shimbun published two articles titled, "Without 'BTS' Father Bang Sihyuk,' 'K-pop's Global Success Wouldn't Have Existed'... A Question to HYBE Chairman Kim Young-min" and "Promoting Global Fandom Business... Classifying K-pop and J-pop Is a Side Story... A Question to HYBE Chairman Kim Young-min."

Hmm? I wanted to know more, so I read the Yomiuri Shimbun

Without 'BTS' Father Bang Sihyuk,' 'K-pop's Global Success Wouldn't Have Existed

Regarding his impression of Chairman Bang, he recalled, "I was so surprised that I thought, 'This is what happens when a genius is sincere.' I think it's quite difficult for genius and sincerity to coexist..."

"Isn't genius something that's been given to you by the heavens? It's easy to think that ability comes from intuition or chance, as opposed to studying or analyzing markets and data. On the other hand, there's a strong image of businesspeople as people who acquire their abilities through studying marketing, law, and finance. Chairman Bang felt like he possessed these two opposing images simultaneously. While grounded in creativity, he also continued to study and work hard, relying on expert information and data to manage his business. This equilibrium, I believe, is what makes him so extraordinary. It's easy to assume that intuition or chance dictates everything. On the other hand, businesspeople are often portrayed as having acquired their skills through studies in areas like marketing, law, and finance.

“Without Chairman Bang, K-pop’s global success would not have occurred,” Chairman Kim asserted.

1. He's known for creating groups that are popular without actual popularity, negative virality and sajaegi ㅋㅋㅋ

2. Huh? We all know their results would be different without the sajaegi and negative virality

3. He's only right for BTS success, but BTS isn't K-pop's foundation. They've had countless sunbaes paving the way for them 

4. I guess there's not long left because he gets caught ㅋㅋ

5. He's known for raising kids who commit sajaegi?

6. Please stay BTS' father 

7. The popular groups without popularity.... We're waiting for the judgment 

8. Popular without popularity

9. They're so disgusting

10. HYBE's mediaplay articles are always worded the same ㅋ
