SCOOTER BRAUN IS THE INDIVIDUAL WITH THE MOST SHARES IN HYBE AFTER BANG PD‼️ This is cause for concern as he’s known to pull shady moves e.g. buying and selling Taylor Swift’s masters; blocking her from using her music.
A THREAD ON THE SHARE BREAKDOWN AND WHY THIS IS RELEVANT:
I will NEVER forget Bodak Yellow coming on at a house party and we got so turnt that we broke the floor 😭 One of the funniest/most memorable moments in my life
Why’re they using Lenzo Yoon’s picture when he no longer works at HYBE America? Surely, Scooted Braun should be the face of HYBE America’s financial woes
The way ARMYs need to be LOUD about getting Scooter out of that company… I’ve been telling y’all he’s the individual with the most shares after Bang PD in that company. God forbid he goes after BTS’s masters like he did for Taylor Swift. Be loud about getting him out NOW!
Antiboycotters are destroying BTS’s legacy. They’ve undermined the efforts of Pro-liberation ARMYs to call for the divestment of Zionism within our sphere of influence for months. Now it’s reaching a wider audience when this could’ve been avoided if we took a united stand earlier

That’s your prerogative. That’s what you should’ve said rather than lying on the Internet where other people who have better discernment than you co-exist. OP’s tweet was correct.
Not everyone artist needs to be/pretend to be deep and intellectual. Ass-shaking music… “shallow” music, etc. is valid. This life is too hard. We need happy music

To the weirdo akgaes in the replies, Jimin said NO ARMYS - as in his and the members’ fans. It is well known that weirdo akgaes (aka your kind) rented buses and showed up. He refused to acknowledge you all as you are not his/his brothers’ fans. You don’t respect them so 💜🖕🏽💜

Omg, I love Steph and her family! I only just started watching her recently. I also predominantly watch her lighter videos but this one that dropped today and a couple others are on my “to watch” for when I’m in a better headspace.
Nope. It’s producer propaganda. They keep showing cute moments so we’ll forget how they handled things. They made Kaz look like a mug and they tried to set her up to be the Angry Black Woman. I won’t have it.

TVN featured Jimin's marvelous impact on yuja tea and its export opportunities.🍵
After Jimin's post, Google searches for yuja surged to 100% interest level. Fans shared photos of bought yuja. The Korean word "yuja" even got more popularized than "yuzu".
One of the rare instances where I acc enjoy a BTS cover omg! 🤩 It’s not the same as Bangtan, but this did so well! Idk them but I wish them continued success 🥰💜

Even saying “I’m not taking a side” is taking a side. Remaining “neutral” in situations of injustice means you are not siding with the oppressed, which then means you are siding with the oppressor and further giving them the opportunity to continue the cycle of abuse
Honestly, this has been on my chest for a MIN but the way Kendrick calling out Drake for being a whole p3doph!le has been reduced to him just being a “hater” is so heartbreaking. A p3do was called out and everyone’s downplaying it and using it to laugh
I’m so nervous announcing this, but I’ve been working on something for a while now that I’m releasing on Wednesday 🙈 It’s really not perfect, but I’m learning that I can’t grow and get better if I don’t put myself out there. I’m very proud of myself for getting to this point
As you know, BTS and the members are not independent artists - they are signed to a record label - which means they are employees of the record label and the record label owns their masters. Unless they negotiate an agreement to take full ownership of it - which would be historic
@bora875galaxy
ARMYs don’t speak up about the racism and xenophobia BTS faces in the Global North for you to use it as a “gotcha” moment against other groups facing the same thing. This is a repulsive tweet. You can critique constructively without resorting to such low lengths.
“You only stan BTS??”
“You should stan XYZ + ABC”
People don’t tell you “stan Pink since you stan Beyoncé, they’re both “US pop’”
Or tell you “stan Dua Lipa since you stan Adele… they’re both UK pop’”
Do y’all realize how STRANGE you sound??
Koreans are not monolithic!

Even though the industry has Taylor Swift’s back, who but ARMY will have BTS’s back if Braun decides to move shiesty?
It’s not lost on me the sadness of having to present this side of the argument as the primary reason why you should care about removing him from the company.

If that cunning, freaky frog Scooter Braun could very PUBLICLY backstab her - as intelligent, well-connected and well- loved as she is in the mainstream music industry, what’s to say he doesn’t have the audacity to do it again?

Scooter Braun’s managerial style is to pervade public consciousness by conflating the artist’s image with himself. Have you ever seen an artist manager as obsessed with publicity as Scooter Braun? His high profile clients’ public images are all intertwined with his. He has
what its used for. They get to sell it; license it to be used in soundtracks, advertisements, and/or samples in other songs, etc.
A relevant example of how this can all get messy is when Megan (Thee Stallion) was signed to 1501 (🖕🏽) and they tried to block her from being on Thee
deal - in exchange for financing and marketing the project. After the deal comes to an end, they can re-negotiate the terms and conditions re the masters. However, unless the artist negotiates to own their masters during contract negotiations after the record deal ends, it

Butter Remix with BTS so she had to fight in court in order to have a say in her creative vision.
Owning a masters also means you own shares of any revenue the song makes. Record labels typically own majority of an artist’s masters during the agreed upon period of their record

So, two important takeaways from this:
1. The record label gets paid majority share of the revenue made from the projects of artists signed to the label. This is why it’s so historic that BTS owns shares in HYBE.
However, it is also important to note that shareholders
remains the same: any money made from the project is paid first to the label which gets the bigger portion, and the remaining share is given to the artist(s) per the terms of their contractual agreement.

industry darling and BTS are E. Asian/men of colour that aren’t American/British, and don’t speak English as a primary language.
ESPECIALLY considering the fact that they have faced blatant racism, xenophobia, and attempts at industry suppression and isolation because of this?
@o_ikenna
I'm so tired of seeing people tweeting contradictory statements. "i'M aGaInSt SeXuAl AsSaUlT + rApE bUt..." Stop trying to be diplomatic! We can see through perpetrator-accommodating tweets.
I will now go into the shareholder breakdown, but before that I will like to make it explicitly clear that Pro-liberation ARMYs as a whole are not pushing for Scooter Braun’s removal from HYBE because we “don’t trust the members” or because we “think they’re babies”.
Ithaca Holdings buying her former label - Big Machine Records - and selling her masters to Shamrock Holdings against her will.
HERE ARE SOME OF TAYLOR SWIFT’S ALLEGATIONS AGAINST BRAUN RE HER MASTERS:
1. He blocked her from performing her own songs at the 2019 AMAs
are paid according to the percentage of shares they own i.e. majority shareholders get paid more money than people with smaller shares in the company. They also have larger voting rights. More on this later.
*ALL SOURCES CITED IN A LIST AT THE END
2. The record label owns the masters of the artists signed to their label and get to decide what to do re licensing of the projects - even if this means deals are being made that go against the artist’s creative vision.
This is why Taylor Swift was upset about Scooter Braun’s
