Show Notes
This week on Stanning BTS, Kayla and Bethany are turning the lens on HYBE, the company that began as Big Hit Entertainment and has since evolved to become a major player with the entertainment landscape. Over the years, the home of BTS has drawn praise and criticism alike, and our hosts set out this week to help separate fact from fiction. To do so, they welcome two guests: Sam (an astronomer) and Kals (a venture capitalist). With the inclusion of listener questions, they unpack some of HYBE's history, the turning points of growth and expansion, and ongoing shifts in public perception. The two take a special interest in how to continue fostering the important fan-artist connection that has always defined BTS as a band, as the company behind them continues to earn a bigger and bigger footprint in the K-pop industry and music business as a whole.

This week on Stanning BTS, Kayla and Bethany another look at the Grammys’ controversial Best Asian Pop category and Harvey Mason Jr.'s latest comments suggesting the Academy is reconsidering its approach. They discuss why creating separate categories based on region and genre may not be the equity Asian artists are asking for, and how BTS’s history with the Grammys fits into the bigger picture. Plus, they debate whether the Grammys still hold the same weight for K-pop artists, and whether BTS has already outgrown the need for their validation.
