HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk and the director of hit Netflix series "Squid Game" Hwang Dong-hyuk were named on “The Bloomberg 50” of 2021 by Bloomberg Businessweek.

The publication annually selects 50 people who led the global trends in business, entertainment, finance, politics and science and technology.

Bloomberg defined Bang as “the hitmaker behind BTS [who] engineered a $1 billion deal in April to combine Ithaca Holdings — the agency that manages Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande — with his Korean empire, bringing K-pop to the center of the U.S. music business."
