After GLAM's epic failure and BTS's tremendous success, it is simple to see why Big Hit Entertainment plays it carefully by approving only male recruits. That being said, since BTS had become a worldwide phenomenon, the K-pop scene has evolved dramatically, and so has Big Hit Entertainment.
And over the past five years, the company of BTS has discovered how to catapult several professional artists into a global presence and theoretically use the "BTS formula" to establish the most wicked incredible girl band ever.
Underneath the latest umbrella of big hit labels, Big Hit Entertainment and Source Music are planning for the first new girl band. (via Koreaboo)
CHOOSING RECRUITS WITH OUTSTANDING WORK ETHICS
Before BTS arose, Bang Shi Hyuk, founder of Big Hit Entertainment and Source Music, co-produced a girl band of five members with an energetic and sassy theme.
Sadly, after exposure to numerous scandals, GLAM disbanded. One member reportedly showed saesang conduct while the other was involved in adultery and was guilty of extortion.
On the contrary, BTS has never endured a major controversy so far. They put their jobs first while working in their personal and professional lives to be a good role model for the ARMY.
MEMBERS WITH GOOD CHEMISTRY
ARMYs love the solid, sincere friendship of BTS entirely. It has also made industry professionals such as Jessi stand out, who recently called it the secret to their continued success.
While idol lifestyle is never for the weak-hearted people, tight-knit bands such as Super Junior and SHINee have proved that real friendship is key to careers' survival. The dream girl band of Big Hit Entertainment will comprise members who would love one another and stick by each other as BTS members do.
A BAND WITH MEMBERS WHO PENS THEIR SONGS
One of the factors why music from BTS is so popular is because the members are so talented. BTS produces their songs based on their hardships and encounters, which can be mainly linked to by millions of fans, particularly fans in the same age category as the participants.
BTS is also not reluctant to sing about touchy topics such as mental wellbeing (Agust D's "The Last") or social problems such as feminism ("21st Century Girls").
