... Big Hit Ent was really good name for kpop label and they really have lived to that name. Idk what they are meaning with HYBE but it just reminds me of "hype" and that's not rly name company can have forever at some point it will get bit cringy?

Idk what u think about the name change?

 

[eclipsoul]

how are you supposed to even pronounce it

 

[ADORA]

It's a weird name

 

[Mayday]

It sounds like "hive" and now im thinking of someone breaking out in hives :/

 

[nyaajooe]

ew NO

 

[AmysTeri]

I will affectionately dub them Hebi.

So when I like them, I can call them by an animal I like.

And when I dislike them, they can be defined by their tactics xD

But for real, HYBE is hype with a cold.

Lol, this made me think of BeyHive.
May such a union never come to pass

[NogaNono]

[lotusflower]

BigHit just needs to stop They are doing too much at this point

 

[lotusflower]

Bighit keeps acting like a fool, they trying to change their name like, worry about BTS and TXT first

 

[brekker]

someone tell them "hype" is spelled with "p" or it will be embarrassing :D

 

[maruberry]

Why tho.... seems pointless

 

[lotusflower]

How did they go from an entertainment company to a Corp as if they all work out of a cubicle all-day?

 

[Soogi]

No idea, i guess they thought corporation as umbrella term and entertainment too limited... but corporation doesn't sound like music label

Honestly same. they keep going like this they'll end up like DSP and they were supposed to be apart of the big3 but look what happened

Yeah, It's really confusing at this point. if they are going to change the name at least keep the entertainment part so people know it's an entertainment business and not a business corporation

i agree, they're kinda like a monopoly now too...

I understand what they are trying to do due to the fact that BTS is their main source of income rn, and with Jin enlistment soon to come, they are pretty much scrambling trying to find other ways to bring in revenue. At the same time, they are moving way too fast. That's why there will never be a big4 like people tend to say.
