While I’m not entirely supportive of Lee Soo Man I have to acknowledge the path he paved for Kpop. And so should every armchair that always starts the same shit about who paved the way.

Bang Shi Hyuk tarot reading

The Fool, 5 of Pentacles, 9 of Cups, 9 of Wands, The High Priestess.

I doubt he's going to really make a big statement, he's someone that likes to work in the shadows. I see him being a bit annoyed about this whole thing as it's affecting his job and the company but his energy is... strangely calm? I feel like he's just waiting for it to blow over to be honest. Like he's just sitting down and choosing not to say much about it. He's more focused on some creative project (new group? ILLIT perhaps?). I feel as if he definitely tried to ruffle MHJ's feathers with ILLIT. He's someone that believes in "all publicity is good publicity". I dunno but again, his energy is so calm it's feeling a bit eerie to be honest...

The Queen's Guard - Grace & Staff

The Queen’s Guard, affectionately given to the team behind Grace’s solo career, was a force of nature the likes the industry had never seen before. Even IU didn’t have this type of team behind her. From Bang Shi-hyuk, PDogg, a team of choreographers, and stylists, Sejin, a team of bodyguards and a whole of team dancers - they were a force that seemed to be unstoppable.

As one ARMY quoted when they saw Sejin, BTS’ manager for many years, back in the fold and leading the way in front of Grace at Incheon airport with a team of bodyguards around the two then what seemed to be another four managers including a woman - “It looked like the queen had arrived with her army. Like everyone parted way for the arrival of the queen and her team wasn’t going to stop anyone from getting in the way.”

Bang Shi-Hyuk

It was hard to get time to see Bang PD when his time was directed overseas or in meetings, dealing with HYBE and other business arrangements. However, when it came to his only female idol, he cleared his schedule for the whole week and flew back to Seoul immediately. The news about BTS's ‘hiatus,’ as the media was calling it, had been announced only a few days later and already he had phone calls from shareholders about the dip in value their stocks had taken.

However, he had no plans to deal with that. He had bigger fish to fry.

He scheduled a meeting for her the day after he flew in and what walked through the door wasn’t the Grace he had met all those years ago. This was a scared young woman who didn’t know what was coming, who didn’t know what the next three years were going to bring her. He patted her on the arm and showed her to his desk, taking the seat next to her instead of the ‘big boss’ chair.

“What do you want to do Hea?” he asked, referring to her Korean name.

“I don’t know. I want to do things differently compared to the boys and I don’t want anything I want to do to interfere with what they want to do. I’d rather wait till they all go to the military or all the days are announced so the boys can enjoy their solo careers.”

Ever thinking about her boys instead of herself.

“We can do that. We can assemble a team who you’re familiar with to start planning and guiding and I’ll be there every step of the way,” he promised and reached over to take her hand, giving it a squeeze.

They stayed silent for a moment. It had been thirteen years since they had first met when she was nineteen years old, straight out of education and looking for a job as a dancer but was hired for her vocals for background use and then as an assistant. Now look at her, one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen.

“Okay, I’m ready.”

PDogg

Her first mixtape, Dangerous Woman, had been an absolute success thanks to the combined efforts of PDogg, Hitman Bang, Yoongi and Namjoon. Two of those people were now facing a career in the military and so now it was down to Hitman Bang and PDogg.

A meeting with what had become the Queen’s Guard, consisting of Hitman Bang, PDogg, other producers at BigHit, Sejin and a few others as well as Grace had taken place a week after Seokjin’s military announcement. A whole day had been dedicated to what Grace wanted her next mixtape to be but she soon surprised them all.

“The boys are doing albums, apart from Seokjin, so I want to do the same. But I want CD one to be the Dangerous Woman mixtape and CD two to be the new songs. All in English. And I want to do a tour with the album, and if it’s not enough, maybe release another mixtape with other songs to fill in the gap.”

Evidently, Hitman Bang hadn’t been expecting that as he sat there at the top of the table and stared at her with his jaw dropped.

“All in English? No Korean?” PDogg asked, making a couple of notes on his pad.

“All in English. I can do remixes of the songs in Korean for maybe a B-Side but I want this to focus on English. This album is all about me and my thoughts and my feelings and everything I see so it has to be English.”

“If you say you’ve got lyrics already, there are no promises I won’t kiss you Hea,” PDogg warned.

Grace simply grinned and lifted up a notebook, the same one she got from Jungkook for Mother’s Day, filled to the brim with lyrics. “Better bring those kisses.”

“Well, look’s like you’re going to be busy,” Sejin laughed at the sight of PDogg pressing many kisses to the top of Grace’s head before stealing the notebook.

Sejin

When Sejin got the phone call from Hitman Bang, he was completely taken aback. He had been promoted to the artist protocol department and a manager for ENHYPEN. He had been with BTS from the very beginning and missed them very much, though he saw them every now and then. He never expected to be getting a call about them, especially from the boss.

“Grace is coming.”

Those three words were all that were given to him.

And he was immediately at HYBE.

“Grace is going ahead with her solo career and I believe she needs a manager who can focus solely on her and her needs. And given your history with her and the history with the boys, I think you’re the best one for the job. Plus she misses you.”

The reunion had been a long time coming and he first saw her again at a meeting with lawyers and executives. She didn’t care for decorum the moment she saw her favourite manager standing at the door, apologising for interrupting.

“Sejin-oppa,” she gasped and quickly ran over to him to give him a big hug.

“Are you coming back?” she quietly asked him and the squeeze she got in return was everything she needed.

The Queen’s Guard had their general back.

Other Staff

New stylists and make-up artists were brought on board for the sole focus on Grace. There were many meetings as the music was being produced as to what themes and colours Grace wanted to pick from, what costumes and clothes, and what would be more suited for her body rather than adapting the boy's costume to fit her.

When the contract for Alexander McQueen, Balmain and Louboutin had all been signed, her stylists threw a sleepover party at HYBE so they could go through all the choices of clothing and shoes the designers had sent Grace.

Her bodyguards were also from the same team that had been around the boys since day one. She had been signed one in particular, ARMY would later recognise him from Yoongi’s concerts as the one that was fancam’d the most. All bodyguards were older than her so there would be no rumours.

Choreographers were spearheaded by the usual team with the added addition of Sienna from In the Labs and Brian Puspos. They were instrumental in creating new choreography for her singles, reflecting more her style to suit her dancing history and body.

Moments with the staff

The airport had a bigger turnout than usual ever since it was announced that Grace would be departing to start her solo career by attending a fashion show in London, with her being the main ‘face’ of it. The amount of fans present was slightly alarming and even local police had been called in to control the public as well as the press.

The slight army of bodyguards hanging around the car was soon pointed out by local press who could be heard saying that this wasn’t normal for idols.

The moment Sejin appeared, ARMY screamed his name causing him to turn and look, giving them a slight bow.

Another manager got out of the car, an older lady this time, and she stood in front of the open door to speak to the bodyguards for a moment. The moment she stepped aside to let Grace out, the noise volume increased.

Sejin went to the front with one main bodyguard, the rest surrounding Grace and the lady who kept an arm wrapped around Grace’s waist, giving her a slight squeeze. But Grace bowed to everyone she saw, stopping briefly for photos before leaving towards the private lounge.

She had gone live while in London as they were prepping for the fashion show and ARMY went nuts when they saw Sejin come in with a mug of hot chocolate, a blanket and a hot water bottle. “That time of the month,” Grace had said with a sigh as she was tucked in.

BANGTAN BOMBS showing Grace in tall heels, being guided by Sejin or her female manager, with her styling and make up team following her. All hands out ready to help her if needed.

but in this case i don't think he pissed off hybe? i know it's also a joke, but if the article saying that the company checked with jungkook his intentions with his post is true, then it was the same as what the company has been saying ever since this issue started

i remember that months ago they released a statement saying that that womana shouldn't involve the girls in this, "young artists should not be dragged into disputes and be used as shields.”

btw i'm not defending hybe or anything, i also don't agree with many things, i'm just saying what i've seen the last months, i hope you understand

your ask is the last one that I will reply about this. you're right, I understand. hybe did say that, hype does seem to have tried not to involve the girls but in my opinion they trust that woman a lot, they have a very serious manipulative relationship. It's something that's hard to understand. but even though this woman is completely disgusting and lunatic, it doesn't make hybe innocent. some people always seem to have to choose a side, "if I'm against that woman then does that make me side with hybe?" guys, things aren't always black and white like that, you can be against one side and not be in favor of the other either. one of the last things I read was the chats of their (bang shi hyuk and that woman) conversations and there you can see how disgusting they both are. she's worse because she's completely lunatic.

⌗ bang chan ( stray kids ):

❝ ah, when I first met her? I first met ivy in the practice room back in the old jyp building... I just remembered seeing this little girl hunched up in the corner, crying her heart out... when I asked her if she was okay, she just nodded. It took her quite a few minutes to calm down and when she finally did, she asked if she could have a hug. And when I did, she broke down even bad. That's when I took it upon myself to protect this girl like my own sister. I never wanted to see her cry ever again. ❞ — from ivy : the documentary

⌗ kim namjoon ( bts ):

❝ we've always been close to ivy.. I don't know if it's because she was the only junior we had or if it was because she felt like a close sibling... it made it even better when she moved closer to us for a few years.. whenever she wanted, she would come to our dorm and we would all talk, laugh and cry about stuff. We used to have karaoke nights, story telling nights and what not... we were the first ones to move away and get our own place and I remember exactly, when we told ivy that we were moving she cried haha... she would not stop crying.. we had to come to an agreement of some sort to stop her... but looking at her now, I don't see the broken, fragile girl with low self esteem... I see a confident, brave woman. I had this conversation with jin hyung before he left... we were just sitting and just reminiscing how we practically raised ivy ans jungkook... seeing them be who they are now always makes me feel like a proud dad hahaha❞ — from ivy : the documentary

⌗ choi yeonjun ( tomorrow by together ):

❝ ivy... has gone through a lot to come this far... even if she's younger than me or the fact that she's my girlfriend, does not change the fact that she's our senior who I've always looked up to. She's always had this brave and confident persona which fools people into thinking she's the same off camera. Off camera, she's just a soft, broken, vulnerable girl who just needs all the love and care she deserves... the first time I ever saw her breakdown was heartbreaking for me and it made me wonder how cruel could this world be to such a beautiful and sweet person. It made me want to protect her forever and just give her my whole heart. i wanted to make her smile all the time. but i think i'll always be thankful to her in one way because she's made me a better person and has taught me a lot of things and just hoe to view life differently in general and to love myself. there has been a lot of days where just the both of us has sat in our bathroom floor, tears streaming out of our faces but looking back i'm glad i got to experience that with ivy and not anyone else. ❞ — from ivy : the documentary

⌗ jin young park ( chairman- jyp entertainment ):

❝ I've always considered ivy like one of my daughters and I've treated her like one as well.. I was the one who first proposed the idea of ivy debuting under both jyp entertainment and bighit to bang shi hyuk and he thought I was nuts at first haha.... I asked him this question when he was telling me about how he was scared about debuting this girl named ivy and when I asked him what he was scared about, he replied that she had a lot of great potential to become the next top star but he was afraid about what would happen to her talent if the company went under any financial issues. He told me that the company's current source of income was only bts.... so I asked him and to my absolute surprise he agreed. We agreed that bighit would be her main managing company and jyp would just manage her socials... and just as we expected she blew up... she was an absolute success. Looking at her now reminds me of how much she has grown both as a person and an artist.. it makes me so proud everytime she accomplishes something.❞ — from ivy : the documentary

⌗ park jihyo ( twice ):

❝ I met ivy in the old jyp building for the first time... she used to be so tiny haha.. watching her grow has been pretty fascinating.... us as a group got a lot closer to us once we debuted... we often joke around saying she should've debuted in the 4th gen for her age and not the 3rd gen hahaha... I think she was the one who introduced me to Lisa... we used to hang out a lot before either of our schedules got tight.. we do see eachother now but it's not as frequent as before... but everytime we have a comeback or a concert or just anything, I can bet that her message will be the first one I receive... she usually just keyboard smashes most of the time saying we look so good and it's vice versa when she has her comeback we all message her either congratulating her or teasing her hahah.. she's like a little sister to us. ❞ — from ivy : the documentary

⌗ Inka ( stray kids ):

❝you want me to talk about ivy? do you know that it will take several hours? where i can start.. you know, that feeling you get when you meet someone for the first time, but you feel like you've known them forever? that's how i felt the first time i saw her. she is younger than me, so i always had this protective aura towards her, despite the fact that she is more experienced than me as an idol. ivy is a charming and sweet girl, very attentive and helpful to others, you can even call her perfect. she's like a disney princess, you know.. brave, pretty and insanely kind. i admire her enormously, she went through a lot to get to where she is today, and despite everything, she never gave up and always wanted to accomplish her dreams exactly as she had imagined them. she totally deserves her success, and i hope her community will grow again and again in the future, because she deserves it for all her efforts. ivy is an idol that we can stan easily because of her kind and generous personality, and her undeniable talent. i mean.. i often listen to her music when i'm looking for inspiration because her voice is like a sweet melody that helps me to concentrate. it reminds me of all the good times we had together. oh and of course, all the times we escaped from our managers just to be, for a few moments, just the two of us. we talked about everything and nothing and it allowed us to relax, ivy is really a good person who can always be counted on, i hope i never lose her.❞

can you do a reading on bang shi hyuk and min hee jin? and hybe cult drama? I wonder what happened between them

Power struggles between them. Different management styles/different goals. Both have their own agendas. Personalities clash.

1 feels ripped off - agreed too much to a deal. 1 feels too micromanaged/controlled and feels they asked for too little. 1 wants to be free/start their own thing in the future and wants to be paid more. 1 feels the other is out of control and can't be tamed/hard to work with.

Cult - more will be discussed later probably about it but H** will try to sue everyone for defamation.

Yongie, there was dinner together in LA enhypen with bang shi hyuk and other producers. Sitting next to Bang Shi Hyuk is Ni-Ki on the left and Sunghoon on the right. Is Ni-Ki's sitting position next to Bang Shi Hyuk indeed arranged or is it random? Thank you

I’m seriously amazed about these type of questions, I swear, because why is that knowledge relevant? 😭 I think that’s analysis that don’t necessarily needs to be done

[94erz]

HYBE got my fucking ass by having Namjoon, Soobin, and Taehyun in that 5 part HYBE T&D Stories series, which made me WILDLY uncomfortable, but can be summarized as:

Namjoon built HYBE and everything they do is inspired by him. They are NOTHING without him, not just BTS but the whole company. Bang Shi-Hyuk better spend his days thankful he signed Namjoon until the day he dies in one of his many mansions built on the back of the greatest icon to come out of South Korea in the last 29 years.

How Namjoon manages to be so humble when it's now a blatant fact he's the blueprint for why HYBE trainees learn a damn thing about music is beyond me. As well as get educated on gender studies, climate change, and even get a yearly psychological evaluation. All of these things he started and they just saw how they were beneficial and implemented them for their other trainees to also benefit from.

[tumblem]

The drama between SM CEOs and Lee Soo Man + Bang Shi Hyuk was unexpected. The statement from the co-CEOs of SM is rather compelling. The statement from Lee Soo Man and Bang Shi Hyuk reeks of corporate ambition but I have no idea which way of governing SM will actually be better.

Декларация на Bang PD за BTS преди придобиването на SM Entertainment

https://viralnews88.com/2023/02/10/bang-pds-declaration-for-bts-before-acquiring-sm-entertainment/

Развлекателната индустрия днес изглежда е разтърсена от най-специалната сделка между ръководителя на HYBE и ръководителя на SM. Въпреки че тази сделка е изправена пред много трудности поради вътрешното несъгласие на SM, това показва, че силата на HYBE нараства до нова височина.

Преди тази сделка за много хора не е трудно да видят, че HYBE има силата, която е днес, благодарение на успеха и влиянието на BTS. Като цяло, членовете и президентът Bang Shi Hyuk, както и персоналът на HYBE са били заедно повече от десетилетие, за да получат плодовете, които и двете страни споделят днес.

Разбира се, президентът Bang Shi Hyuk винаги е оценявал ролята на BTS, както и на феноветe ARMY за техния успех. И преди да сключи тази сделка преди няколко месеца, Bang PD изпрати съобщение до групата и феновете.

Може би не си спомняте ясно, че председателят Bang Shi Huyk някога беше главен изпълнителен директор на ръба на фалита с огромен дълг на раменете си, когато дебютира BTS. Също така не можете да си представите, че малък Big hit Music в ранните дни на BTS е имал само 10 служители.

Big hit Мusic дори беше пренебрегвана, защото дълго време не можеше да се сравни с Big 3,( YG, SM и JYP- за тези, които не знаят това са 3-те най-големи и известни компании за музика, затова са наречени по този начин Big 3.)

Но сега нещата се промениха, HYBE, преди това Big hit Music, нарасна до степен да придобие SM и да стане най-големият акционер в тази компания. Тази сутрин ръкостискането между председателя Bang Shi Hyuk и бащата на SM – Lee Soo Man накара фондовия пазар да се колебае.

Нетизените бяха изключително изненадани от сделката и ръкостискането на двамата. Този факт обаче беше леко разкрит от Bang PD чрез видео, публикувано в края на миналата година. Във видеото президентът на HYBE Bang Shi Hyuk говори за растежа и визията на компанията за следващата година.

Bang Shi Hyuk PD nim представи посоката на компанията за разширяване без граници, сътрудничество между областите на решения и етикети, както и сближаването на музикалната и технологичната индустрия. По-специално, има важна част, когато президентът Банг посвещава благодарността си на BTS и ARMY. BTS е единственият изпълнител, когото той директно спомена в тази благодарност за важния принос на групата за развитието на HYBE.

Bang Si Hyuk PD nim и BTS са заедно от първия ден. Може да се каже, че вярата на BTS в Bang Si Hyuk е същата като вярата на Bang Si Hyuk в BTS, когато и двамата бяха в най-трудния период. С партньорството на ARMY, BTS и Bang Si Hyuk досега постигнаха мечтани успехи. Поглеждайки назад към миналото, никой не може да забрави как BTS помогнаха на HYBE и Bang Shi Hyuk да напишат история:

– Преди Bang Shi-hyuk беше просто успешен музикант, който пишеше песни за G.O.D, но когато се появиха BTS, всичко се промени и придоби различен смисъл.

Bang Shi-Hyuk and Min Heejin synastry

Moon square Moon: Min Heejin might see him as a bit dramatic? "Oh shut up you big baby 🙄" (that just immediately popped up in my head 😭). This ties with their issues at the moment. MHJ is focused on her craft and she's good at what she does, BSH on the other hand seems to be someone that just wants to make a quick buck. Also, she works in the shadows and tends to do 8th house things but he likes to make himself look good to the public. That's where his "wholesome" persona heavily stems from. Also he's quite prideful, which can piss MHJ off a lot (even though she's not that innocent herself).

MHJ's Venus conjunct his North Node: Them being business partners was meant to be. Her artistic directions were going to fill up his wallets! I see her thinking the way she goes about things is "unnecessary?" like she isn't "composed" according to him. He might not be willing to let her go, as he relies on her and her work (I'm seeing some sort of jealousy as well?).

Mercury trine Mercury: Despite their disputes, they can manage to communicate well. I also see him entrusting her with his personal affairs. Hence explains their Kakao talks about him confidently talking to her about "stepping over" aespa. Though they might be different, they're driven by money and would do whatever possible to make it work.

Sun trine Sun: They're similar than they think 😂😂. When they first met, I see them being pretty chill with one another. Like they clicked easily.

BSH's Pluto conjunct her Saturn: Pluto represents power and influence meanwhile Saturn represents restrictions. He used his power (being the chair person of HYBE) and takes a lot of the profit and restricting her (her being the CEO of one of the subsidiaries and doesn't give her lots of freedom as she wants).

MHJ's Neptune opposite his Saturn: Her creative visions don't go with his view on things. This also goes with the whole "ILLIT copying NewJeans" scandal. Neptune represents her artistic ideas and products (NewJeans), BSH's Saturn is in Gemini. Sometimes I see Gemini's as trend hoppers, they can morph into whatever. THAT'S ILLIT! ILLIT is basically BSH's version of HER idea. Her Neptune is at a Saturn degree which shows that she doesn't like having her ideas taken by others and can get pretty defensive over them.

[bangtanhoneys]

did grace ever had a era where she had a hard time dealing something?

I think in every era Grace has had a hard time, if I'm honest haha. The early days especially because of her contract being only two albums then it going into a full contract like the boys, not figuring out what her identity was and trying to find her place.

I think from WINGS to Love Yourself she felt near enough solid in her role and who she was though there were continuous doubts (even till now).

In terms of her looks, figure, etc. she's never really cared for what people think of her other than her parents and obviously Bang Shi Hyuk & Lee Hyun. I think those four people would be her guidelines - if they don't like something she does, she would take a step back and see where she's gone wrong. Anyone else can simply fuck off to be honest.

I am a firm believer that no one controls your life and what you do other than you - what you wear, what you eat, what you say, what you don't say. No one can ultimately do it for you. And I believe Grace would be the same.

Early JYP two-top reunion…

Composer and producer Bang Shi-hyuk met with Park Jin-young.

On the 7th, Bang Si-hyuk posted a picture taken with Park Jin-young on his own Instagram and posted an article saying “With my teacher, brother & best friend · With my teacher, brother & best friend”.

In the photo, Bang Si-hyuk is smiling brightly with Park Jin-young. Park Jin-young is also putting his hand on Bang Si-hyuk's shoulder and smiling.

Bang Si-hyuk was the chief producer of JYP Entertainment from 2001 to 2005 and established Big Hit Entertainment (Hive) in 2005. Park Jin-young, who is one year younger than Bang Si-hyuk, has recently released her new song ‘Groove Back’.
