However, the data available to the public may not fully support these statements. According to the numbers provided on the Hybe website, the four main shareholders of the company are Hyuk Bang (31.6%), Netmarble(12.1%), the National Korea Pension Service (8.2%) e Your World Inc. (5.5%). Another 5.7% has been collectively attributed to “others”.
The distribution of ownership of HYBE is provided in more detailed way on the financial websites, also Bloomberg. These sources show that the fifth major shareholder of the company is Brown scooterthe very controversial CEO of Hybe America. This makes the complaint of the members of BTS who individually have more actions than any Hybe UNUE subsidiary CEO.
The numbers available publicly also show it Jungkook He is among the top 10 shareholders with 68,385 shares, making his participation of 0.16%. Now, these actions have been donated to him, as well as to the other BTS members, by Bang Si Hyuk in 2020 when Hybe became public. The collective participation of BTS’s 1.1% would be possible only if all seven members had held all the shares that were assigned in 2020. But in 2021 it was revealed that it was revealed Jin, RMAND J-Hope he sold some of their actions.
According to the “Hybe’s 2021 share change report”, Jin sold 16,000 shares, RM sold 10,385 shares and J-Hope sold 5,601 shares. So, according to the available data, all seven BTS members no longer seem to hold the same amount of shares. Therefore, the affirmation of their collective property is 1.1% is not verified at best, if not completely incorrect.
