What Will Happen to BIGHIT When BTS Returns Next Year?
When BTS, the global sensation, completes their military service and returns to the stage next year, it’s not just their fans who are eagerly anticipating their comeback. The entire music industry is keeping a close eye on their every move. The most significant impact of their return, however, won’t just be on BTS themselves, but also on the explosive growth of BIGHIT, the company that manages them. According to recent reports from American media, BIGHIT isn’t just poised to lead the South Korean music market but is on its way to joining the ranks of the largest music companies in the world. With BTS’s anticipated return, BIGHIT is expected to officially rise and join the "Big 4 Music Group" alongside industry giants like Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Music.
One of the key reasons why the media and experts believe that BIGHIT will soon join the ranks of these "titans" is the upcoming BTS world tour, which is expected to take place next year. According to American media outlets, around 5 million fans from all over the world will attend this tour, a staggering figure that reflects BTS’s massive influence and the immense support from their fanbase, ARMY. Described as the "largest tour in global music history," this event will not only be an opportunity for fans to reunite with BTS after a long wait, but it will also be a significant source of revenue for BIGHIT.
It’s estimated that BIGHIT will record about $4.3 billion in revenue next year, thanks to BTS's world tour. This figure represents a 200% increase in revenue compared to 2023, a year that was already considered highly successful for BIGHIT, with the company achieving record-breaking revenue since its establishment. However, BTS's return will undoubtedly propel BIGHIT to new heights, not only in the South Korean entertainment industry but on a global scale.
This anticipated revenue boom won’t only come from the tour itself but also from music releases, TV appearances, documentaries, and other commercial activities related to BTS. BTS has long been regarded as the "ace" of BIGHIT, and their temporary absence over the past few years due to military service has left fans eagerly awaiting their comeback. Once BTS returns, the surge in excitement and energy from ARMY is expected to generate enormous profits for the company.
This, of course, has not been well-received by BIGHIT's competitors, especially those who have been trying to undermine the company’s position in the entertainment industry. These efforts are not only coming from local entertainment companies but also from international rivals who recognize that BIGHIT’s potential extends far beyond South Korea and is rapidly expanding on a global scale. BIGHIT’s growth is not solely based on BTS; they have a roster of talented artists, including groups like TXT, ENHYPEN, and NewJeans. However, BTS’s return as a complete group remains the most anticipated event and is the decisive factor in elevating BIGHIT to one of the largest music companies in the world.
The idea that a South Korean company like BIGHIT could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with music giants like Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Music might have seemed unimaginable a few years ago. However, BTS’s success has completely transformed the global music industry, making it impossible for experts to ignore BIGHIT’s extraordinary growth. With BTS’s undeniable appeal, combined with BIGHIT’s smart business strategies, the company is well on its way to securing a spot among the global entertainment powerhouses.
Being included in the "Big 4 Music Group" would mark a significant milestone for BIGHIT, affirming that they are not only a leading entertainment company in South Korea but also a formidable force in the global music industry. This success is not only reflected in their revenue figures but also in the cultural influence that BIGHIT and its artists wield over fans worldwide. BTS has already changed how the world perceives K-pop, and their return next year will only further cement BIGHIT’s role in shaping music and pop culture trends.
While we may have to wait a little longer to see the full impact of BTS’s return, it’s undeniable that 2024 is set to be a breakout year for both BIGHIT and BTS. With predictions of a 200% increase in revenue and a world tour expected to break previous records, BIGHIT is on the verge of reaching new heights. Those who once doubted the company’s potential may have to reconsider, as BTS’s return will not only reaffirm BIGHIT's dominance in K-pop but also solidify its position as one of the most powerful music companies in the world.
