All you need to know about the South Korean entertainment company HYBE Labels
HYBE Labels or HYBE Corporation is a South Korean multinational company that was initially known as Big Hit Entertainment before its rebranding in 2021. It was first established in 2005 by Bang Si-hyuk, who is a music executive, record producer, and songwriter in the South Korean music industry.
While the company was initially a small-scale agency called Big Hit Entertainment, it gained recognition and exposure over the years, leading up to its grand rebranding in 2021. Following its rebranding, the company has diversified its operations across multiple facets of the music industry, including artist representation, music production, event management, and concert production.
The company also has several subsidiaries, such as Big Hit Music, Belift Lab, Source Music, Pledis Entertainment, KOZ Entertainment, and ADOR. Some of the artists under HYBE's South Korean headquarters are TXT, BTS, SEVENTEEN, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, BOYNEXTDOOR, and more.
HYBE also holds franchises in different parts of the world, such as YX Labels in Japan, HYBE America, and HYBE Latin America. Some of the artists under these labels are &TEAM and Aoen from HYBE Japan and KATSEYE from HYBE America. While the establishment in Latin America has kick-started with two subsidiaries, Zarpazo and Docemil Music, no artist has been housed under it yet.
Given that Hybe Labels has been expanding effectively across the globe, fans and netizens are thrilled to see if the establishment in Mumbai happens and what it would look like when it happens.
