Mastermind behind K-pop sensation BTS uses this philosophy for success — and so does Jeff Bezos – CNBC
Bang Si-Hyuk is know as the mastermind behind K-pop sensation BTS, since he brought the boy band together in 2013. On Monday, his company, artist management firm Big Hit Entertainment, set its IPO share price at 135,000 South Korean won, which is approximately $115 per piece, valuing the company at over $4.1 billion.
That means Bang, its CEO and largest shareholder, will be a billionaire, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.
BTS has blown up in the United States, with four consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, and a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, "Dynamite," their first English song. The IPO will make the seven band members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — multimillionaires.
So, what's the key to Bang's mega-success? Listen to the fan...
