The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to provide a space where fans can express their love for K-pop and feel closer to their favorite idols.”

In 2005, South Korean producer, composer and songwriter whose success on the Asian record charts had earned him the nickname “hitman” Bang, changed the trajectory of Korean pop music. That year, “hitman” Bang — born Bang Si-Hyuk — launched the record label Big Hit Entertainment. He soon signed a talented 16-year-old rapper named RM, which became the first step in creating the label’s groundbreaking boy band — BTS. With the group’s global success, “hitman” Bang and Big Hit Entertainment became known as musical trailblazers and record industry innovators. Big Hit Entertainment has now evolved into HYBE, which only continues to break boundaries in music and beyond.
