American business magazine Fast Company chose Big Hit as one of the ‘The World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies 2020’.

Big Hit’s technology, data, and marketing strategies are behind BTS’s dominance on the charts.

On the list, Big Hit comes in at number four after Snap, Microsoft, and Tesla. Although this list changes every year, the reason why Big Hit was able to surpass Apple (#39) was because last year they released their apps Weverse and Weverse Shop, combining the entertainment business with IT.

Weverse allowed Big Hit to bring all the different fan communities together in one place through a mobile app while Weverse Shop allowed them to see concert tickets or limited edition goods to the fans.

Fast company stated, “Thanks to Weverse, fans didn’t have to stand and wait in long lines to purchase tickets or merchandise for their concert last October.” These new apps allowed the bridge between artist and fan to become one step closer. “These apps were created by Big Hit Entertainment and have changed the concert experience for the fans.”

Professor Anita Elberse also revealed that it is through these apps that they are able to freely monitor their artists through their own technology.

Although BTS does not use their own personal Twitter or Instagram, they are able to freely interact with their fans through Weverse.

Park Sung Ho, CEO of SV Investement, was asked why he invested in Big Hit Entertainment even before BTS debuted. He stated, “I didn’t invest in Big Hit but rather in Bang Si Hyuk himself.” He was confident in Bang’s plan and felt that it would do well. “Bang has the creative mind of Park Jin Young and the entrepreneurial spirit of Kim Bum Soo (Kakao CEO).”
