[4K] Walking to the new Big Hit Entertainment (BTS) Building in Seoul, BTS의 빅히트 엔터테인먼트 용산 신사옥까지 걸어보기

Walking tour of streets in Seoul!

Today’s video is a first-person perspective walk tour of how to get to the new Big Hit Entertainment building in Seoul, South Korea. Big Hit Entertainment (빅히트 엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean entertainment company that manages BTS (방탄소년단). Big Hit, currently based in Gangnam, southern Seoul, plans to move to the brand new building in Yongsan, central Seoul, in 2020. The firm is leasing the whole of the 19-story building with seven basement floors. The new building, named Yongsan Trade Center, is currently being built and is set to finish by the end of this year. The building’s name will probably have to change when BigHit enters in May as the agency will occupy the building in its entirety from the 7th floor basement level to the highest level of the 19th floor!

I hope you enjoy the walk as much as I did 🙂

►Wikipedia page on Big Hit Entertainment (

Big Hit Entertainment Co., Ltd. (Korean: 빅히트 엔터테인먼트) is a South Korean entertainment company established in 2005 by Bang Si-hyuk. It currently manages soloist Lee Hyun and idol groups BTS and TXT. The company has multiple subsidiaries, including Source Music, and is the largest shareholder in Pledis Entertainment.

Big Hit Entertainment was founded on February 1, 2005, and signed the vocal trio 8Eight in 2007. In 2010, Big Hit Entertainment and JYP Entertainment signed a joint management contract over the boy group 2AM. That year, Bang Si-hyuk signed RM as the first member of BTS and launched nationwide auditions to recruit the other members of the group. BTS made their debut under Big Hit on June 13, 2013.

In 2012, the company signed Lim Jeong-hee, and the girl group GLAM was formed as a collaboration with Source Music. They were active until 2014, when they disbanded due to a controversy over one of the members, Kim Da-hee, who was sentenced to prison following accusations of blackmailing actor Lee Byung-hun.

Following the end of the joint contract between Big Hit and JYP Entertainment in April 2014, three of the 2AM members returned to JYP, while Lee Chang-min stayed with Big Hit in order to continue with his solo career and as part of the duo Homme. The year also saw the disbandment of 8Eight after Baek Chan and Joo Hee’s contracts with Big Hit ended.

In May 2015, Lim Jeong-hee parted ways with the agency, following the expiration of her three-year contract, and Signal Entertainment Group, a KOSDAQ-listed company specializing in artist management and television production, acquired Big Hit through a KR₩6 billion convertible bond. In early 2017, Big Hit ended their stake relationship with Signal Entertainment Group, which made a full settlement of the bonds.

In February 2018, Homme disbanded after member Changmin’s contract came to an end. He left the company to start his own agency, while Lee Hyun continued on as a solo artist. In August, Big Hit Entertainment and CJ E&M released information stating plans to create a joint company. Filed under the name Belift, the company will reportedly be split 52% to CJ E&M, and 48% to Big Hit. It is set to debut a group in 2020. Later that year in October, BTS renewed and extended their contract with the agency for seven more years. Big Hit was voted best investment company of the year at the 2018 Korea VC Awards.

In March 2019, male group Tomorrow X Together (TXT) made their debut under Big Hit. Former CBO Lenzo Yoon was also appointed co-CEO with Bang Si-hyuk, focusing on the business components of the company while Bang will focus on creative production. In July 2019, the agency acquired Source Music, and in August, the video game firm Superb. Thanks to two apps developed by its subsidiary benX, Weverse and Weverse Shop (formerly known as Weply prior to March 9, 2020), Fast Company chose Big Hit as the fourth most innovative company of 2020 worldwide.

In May 2020, Big Hit became the majority shareholder of Pledis Entertainment. Big Hit announced that the record label would retain its independence, but its artists (which include boy bands NU’EST and Seventeen) would be more widely promoted outside of South Korea.
