Hive Chairman Bang Si-hyuk Holds Third Largest Stock Among Shareholders of Listed Pop Music Companies

Hive Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, the visionary behind the global phenomenon BTS, has been revealed as the third-largest stockholder among listed pop music companies worldwide. According to the esteemed music publication Billboard’s “stock wealth” ranking of prominent music company shareholders, Chairman Bang ranks just below Daniel Arc and Martin Lorenson, the co-founders of Spotify, the world’s largest streaming platform. Chairman Bang’s impressive stake in Hive is estimated to be 31.8%, valued at an astounding $2.54 billion (approximately 3.4277 trillion won).

Furthermore, Hive’s expanding roster, which includes other successful acts like ‘Seventeen’ and ‘New Jeans’, has contributed to its continuous growth. Billboard notes that Chairman Bang’s stock value rose from $1.7 billion last year to its present figure, bolstering his position in the rankings.

Notably, Park Jin-young, the representative producer of JYP Entertainment, and Yang Hyun-seok, the general producer of YG Entertainment, both influential figures within the K-pop industry, also feature in the ranking. Producer Park claims the fifth spot with $559 million (about 754.258 billion won) worth of JYP stock, while Executive Producer Yang secures the eighth position with $199 million (about 268.411 billion won) in YG stock.

In summary, Chairman Bang’s remarkable position as the third-largest stockholder in listed pop music companies worldwide attests to his unparalleled success in shaping the music industry. With Hive’s thriving artists and continuous growth, the future looks bright for Chairman Bang’s innovative company.
