Without BTS, hybe is dead. So big3 remains big3?

with bts,hybe is going to ssucsid. discuss

Big3 + big(s)hit

nah, it will be like big3 + hybe + bts company

HYBE was never without BTS. The members prepared solo albums (some members did 2!) and recorded singles years in advance so that there was almost no month without new music. Now the beginning of next year might be a bit sparse considering we had 4 solo albums and soon 5 singles this year alone, but with the way they've been talking about the 10 year anniversary of HYYH, they might have a re-recording or even old demos to share with us.

Either way, HYBE has still been banking on BTS as soloists and within the next 7 months, they will all be back. I don't care for HYBE one way or another but BTS is still a cornerstone of their idol operations, group or soloist.

YG will go down long before Hybe.

They were always Big3, even when Hybe had BTS active. To be Big4 Hybe needs not one successful group, but at least several, but they just buy other groups, instead of creating something of their own.

It's funny, but NewJeans could have been the one to open the door to the Big 4 for Hybe, but now they're not.

Let's not forget about Seventeen, since Pledis is still under Hybe.

No (?) like yge is still a big3 when they just have Treasure and baemon and their results aren't on pair with their "seniors", the same with Hybe if one day they be without BTS which I still doubt. They have lsfrm, illit, txt, Enhypen, katseye, SEVENTEEN (selling millions, big tour) etc, no?

People need to accept that it doesn’t work like that. Getting rid of the devil is never that easy.

bang pd didn't even have to do anything, he could just sit on whatever bts was gonna release and yet....here we are.

YG created Big Bang, 2NE1, BlackPink - these are supergroups that are extremely popular, but what Hybe/BigHit created was only BTS. Even if you look at them now, apart from BTS and SVT, there are no really significant groups that make a significant contribution to the industry.

Technically NewJeans too so 2 groups... Even though seventeen is huge, I don't consider them as iconic as representing the company bc their music isn't really known as the big3 groups were to result in them being considered big3.

It's just BTS and NewJeans, but even then, for Hybe to keep their status they need to be extra successful with more acts and have way more "national hits".

I'm not even sure if the BIG3 is that big anymore. It's more like a BIG 2.5 because YGE is becoming less popular by every day. They lost their biggest artists already, and if BP leave the dungeon next year, they will only have Babymon!

AKMU isn't really relying on YG, and their boy groups even exist? I hardly see them doing anything.

WRONG!

YG didn't create shit! Bigbang created YGE, Daddy Yang said it himself! They wouldn't be as big as now without Bigbang!

HYBE got lucky with BTS, but that's all they have, and ILLIT? Every other group they have, they bought them.

both BTS and hybe needed each other

without BTS would hybe be where they are today?

with hybe (or rather bit hit) would BTS be where they are today
