Exactly a hard pill fans don't want to swallow. BTS was his idea. If there was no bighit entertainment,there never would have been a BTS ever. The members at the time were in different companies and a few who were not in anything were scouted and auditioned. Example jimin if I recall was in kq he would have been an ateez member. And when BTS was was starting out and faced alot of hardships it was bang that stuck by them and sacrificed all his finances. He could have easily given up and BTS would have been done before it got started. Hate that fans try to be little or erase the efforts of others. There's a reason the members had a very high level of respect for him and thought of him as family, it wasn't for nothing.
i think this an issue similar to "what was first, the chicken or the egg".
if bang wouldn´t give them the chance, there would be no bts. But he could have given the same change to another set of members...do you think they would had had the same results?
and there are so many groups with the same situation, look at yg. The artists stay because they think no other company can make them great, but then they get the dungeon, or new groups don`t have the same success...
my opinion is what makes a group great, that the conection that each member of a group has with the public. And the company can work, twitch, cut, push, paint, teach...whatever. But it is how the idol is percieved by the audience. And sometimes my friend, can`t be bought
