1. [+796, -24] Lee Soo Man, Yang Hyun Suk, Park Jin Young... menboong

2. [+782, -30] The problem with SM, JYP, and YG was that they forced their Korean singers to advance into America with American style songs which ruined the original merit of the artist. Bang Shi Hyuk, however, kept putting out albums in BTS style until it was America that invited them over. That was the right answer all along.

3. [+611, -9] Congratulations to the father of BTS, PD Bang Shi Hyuk~

4. [+64, -2] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and that makes Big Hit the most famous Korean entertainment company in the world

5. [+61, -1] A conversation between Bang Shi Hyuk and Park Jin Young:
Bang: Hyung! I've recently started my own management company and am trying to train my own artists, please give me some advice!
Park: Shi Hyuk-ah, you're a composer, I'd rather stick to talking about music than business with you.
In the end, Park Jin Young was never able to earn the results that Bang Shi Hyuk has with BTS.

6. [+56, -1] I actually think it's great that such a group has come from a different agency that isn't the top 3. Other agencies are busy spinning their schedules in varieties and dramas and rushing song comebacks while BTS limits varieties and individual promos and gives them free creative control of their music.

7. [+48, -2] All of the people who invested in Bang Shi Hyuk before BTS was even a thing said they did so because of Bang Shi Hyuk alone. He was already known by everyone to be super transparent and clean with his money, which is why they trusted him.

8. [+34, -2] I didn't find out until recently that he composed 'Like being shot by a gun' too.. ㅋㅋ when he texted Jin if he was having fun the day BTS went to the Billboards, he sounded like a father telling his son to enjoy his time on his school trip.

9. [+28, -1] In reality, you could combine Lee Soo Man, Park Jin Young, and Yang Hyun Suk and < Bang Shi Hyuk

10. [+25, -2] Big Hit truly became a worldwide big hit ㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+24, -2] Probably feels as good as winning the lottery

12. [+21, -0] Bang Shi Hyuk is writing a new page in history for K-Pop. This is something that Koreans should be praising instead of letting your blindness by jealousy drag his efforts down.
