The Secret Helps Bang PD Succeed In Renewing Contract With BTS At The Time They Almost Gave Up

This year, BTS moved fans when they announced the third contract renewal with management company вιg нιт Music. This also means that the group will continue to operate with 7 members for at least another 5 years, promising a long road ahead.

BTS has re-signed the contract with their management company twice and many people think that the process was not difficult. However, in reality, the first time BTS decided to re-sign with вιg нιт Music, a big incident happened. Luckily, Bang PD had a reasonable vision and his solution was also what made BTS's contract continue to be signed a second time.

Let's see what secrets Bang PD has in successfully signing contracts with 7 of the world's biggest Kpop superstars:

On December 20, the first episodes of BTS’s documentary BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star were released. Ahead of the episodes, fans had teasers showing what they could expect, whether it was from before they debuted and the tough times after they became global stars.

In particular, in the first episodes, the moment when BTS discussed renewing their contract in 2018 was recreated. This episode completely shows fans how much difficulty BTS went through in making the decision to maintain their activities that year and also understand why the members' tears fell so much at the year-end awards ceremony.

V started by explaining that there were a long of discussions about whether to renew or not, and it would’ve included the members and those in the company. Meanwhile, Jin unsurprisingly pointed out that the company wanted all the members to resign. Yet, he explained that while it was a good proposal, the members had different opinions about the future.

 

Suga was really honest when he explained that with all the pressures they had, the members “had thought a lot about quitting.” Moreover, V, in particular, broke netizens’ hearts when he revealed that the pressure was so much that he cried with the members, specifically pointing out the times he did it with Jungkook and j-hope.

Jin added that all the pressure comes from the fact that they never know how much attention they will receive when they debut and the difficulties that come with it. He said: "I don’t like garnering so much attention, and it’s hard psychologically. I don’t have the confidence to endure this pressure."

SUGA rightly pointed out that they had nobody to ask for advice because only the seven members knew about it. It was because of this that everything piled up, and the members became burned out.

While the members of BTS are one of the biggest groups in the world and enjoy the first fruits after a long, dark road, they are facing even greater difficulties and pressures. That makes even the best dreams become the most difficult things. But fortunately, Bang PD helped the members untie the knot during this challenging period.

Instead of hastily urging the members to sign a contract extension as a capitalist, he understood the feeling of fatigue and difficulties they were facing. He even thought about the members to the point of suggesting they take a 6-month break to calm down. To him, the members feeling happy is the most important thing and what helps them continue being idols.

He expressed before the moment BTS made the final decision: "As the head of a management company, I actively tried to make the best decision from the perspective of an artist. I'd say, "How can they work if they're struggling?". Their happiness is most important." He enlightened the members, helping them make a choice that they won't regret later.

Not only did Bang PD give advice to BTS at the moment they needed to make a decision, he also chatted with the group to find the best plan for them in the future. He mentioned to BTS the biggest goal they need to reach: "You can make bigger wishes since everything is going well, but I think our goals next year should be to find ways to be happy. It's soмєтнing that no other superstar in the worlf has ever done. Im not sure if its soмєтнing you can accomplish by trying. Not a lot of superstars have good endings, many of them bevome depressed or develop social phobias. im really worried that you will become unhappy if you continue to live like this."

And that is probably also the reason why BTS chose to sign a contract with Bang PD together and continue the group's journey. Unlike other managers, who always want to gain maximum benefits from idols' activities, Bang PD understands that the idols' spirit and health are the core factors for a long journey. and success. He puts the members' happiness above other interests and that makes BTS feel respected.

Bang PD's secret to training and leading BTS makes everyone admire. That is the most obvious answer as to why BTS signed a contract with HYBE 3 times in a row over the past 10 years!
