The story of Big Hit Music having many shortcomings in managing and taking care of BTS is not a small one. ARMYs also protested many times about how unprofessional the company was.
Despite this, but instead of looking at the mistakes or things that are shown on the outside, Jin shows us another side of Big Hit in taking care of the artists. From that, it can be seen that Big Hit does not always work irresponsibly.
Perhaps more people will feel sympathy for the company after Jin shared this:
The story of fans being frustrated with the way an idol's management company works is common in the Kpop market. From the dense schedule, irresponsibility, or suspicion of unfair treatment among the members and many other issues, these are the reasons why fans have repeatedly raised their voices to demand justice for their idols.
Big Hit Music and HYBE Labels are no exception. There have been many times that ARMYs have called on Big Hit Music to strengthen protection measures or change the way BTS is better managed and taken care of. Many people even advised BTS to leave Big Hit Music.
However, when looking at the two sides of the problem, perhaps many people will feel that Big Hit Music probably has a much better way of working than other companies. And that is also the reason why Jin or the BTS members have never thought of leaving the company after many years of working together.
During Jin's birthday livestream today, he told ARMYs some stories about the staff and how Big Hit worked with him and the team. This made many people realize that instead of criticizing Big Hit too much about the way they work, they actually tried to treat their artists the best.
Jin started by saying that he had no intention of doing a livestream today and informed the company staff in advance to prepare a birthday party. However, they still managed to do well right before the livestream and created a happy birthday party for him with ARMYs.
He said that: "The company thought I wasn't going to do a birthday live so they hadn't gotten things ready ahead of time. I think I might have told them it might not happen, but of course I had to! So I told them I had to."
The staff prepared a birthday cake with animals and banners and background decorations for Jin. Besides, they also set up a cute birthday corner for him.
By the way, Jin also talked about how Big Hit Music's staff and managers always try to accommodate his requests. Although Jin and the members rarely ask their manager to do something, when they ask, the managers do their best to help them.
He shared: "I usually don't ask things from managernims or anything like taxis and stuff but when I do ask, they always say things like "Ah of course, Seokjin-nim is a priority for us" so it's so nice"
Not only that, during the recording sessions, Jin's company also paid great attention to his health and took care of him. Jin even praised his company's way of doing things.
He explained that: "Our company is like that, they are really focused on protecting me. So we would film some shots and then withdraw, film some shots and then withdraw, and so on."
Many companies brutally exploit their idols when the group is on the rise, while Big Hit Music has arranged schedules to suit the members' requirements and plan it well in the most reasonable way. Not only that, they also allow the members to express their talents and value the members' opinions in each development plan.
It seems that compared to other management companies, Big Hit Music has a more relaxed way of working, at least with BTS. It is also understandable because the group has been the mainstay of creating such a big HYBE as it is today. BTS has also been with the company for a long enough time to be able to make their own decisions under Big Hit's management.
In general, BTS is also mature and powerful enough to ask for support from the company or reflect for the company to change its management. So I believe that while Jin and BTS are still praising their company, it's still a good place for the members to work together!
