BTS agency HYBE makes TIME 100 most influential companies list anew

BTS agency HYBE has again been included in TIME’s 100 most influential companies list.

The list released Wednesday came with three digital covers, one of which featured the global pop icons with HYBE chair Bang Si Hyuk, the visionary behind BTS.

Founded by Bang in 2005 as Big Hit Entertainment, the company now known as HYBE is valued at $9.5 billion today, according to TIME.

“HYBE’s vision has always been ambitious—to the point of being presumptuous,” Bang told TIME. “Our vision is to become the world’s leading entertainment lifestyle platform, with music as our foundation.”

HYBE was named among TIME’s most influential companies for the second time after making the inaugural list last year.
