About Me

Bang Si-hyuk is the founder and chairman of Hybe (formerly Big Hit Entertainment), one of Korea's largest music labels and entertainment agencies. He took the company public in 2020 in what was South Korea's largest IPO in three years, which made him a billionaire. Hybe's success is attributed to its seven-member boy band, BTS, which scored six No. 1 albums on the U.S. Billboard 200. Bang worked as a composer for JYP Entertainment, one of Korea's "Big Three" music agencies, before venturing out on his own. In 2021, Hybe acquired Ithaca Holdings, which manages Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, for over $1 billion.
