Timeline

1972

Bang Si-hyuk (born August 9, 1972), known professionally as "Hitman" Bang (stylized as "hitman" bang), is a South Korean songwriter, producer, and record executive.

He is the founder of Big Hit Music (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) and Hybe Corporation, and chairman of the latter.

One of the fifty richest people in South Korea according to Forbes Asia, Bang is the only billionaire in the South Korean entertainment industry.

As of July 2021, he is reportedly worth an estimated $3.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Bang Si-hyuk was born to Bang Geuk-yoon, former president of the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Corporation at the Korea Social Insurance Research Institute, and his wife, Choi Myung-ja.

He has a younger sister.

Bang developed a passion for music from an early age, having grown up in a musical home, but was discouraged from pursuing a career in the industry by his parents.

Bang formed a band with his friends while in middle school and wrote and performed songs he composed.

He attended Kyunggi High School before graduating from Seoul National University with a degree in aesthetics.

1994

In 1994, he won the Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest and began his career in earnest writing and producing songs.

1997

He met Park Jin-young in 1997, and the pair often partnered together as a songwriting duo.

When Park founded his company JYP Entertainment, Bang joined him as a composer, arranger and producer.

One of their early successes was the first-generation group g.o.d.

Some of g.o.d's most famous songs arranged by Bang include "One Candle" and "Road".

2000

Bang's stage name "Hitman" originated from this period, when g.o.d enjoyed success as one of the country's best-selling and most popular boy bands of the early 2000s, earning himself and Park a reputation as "hit makers".

Besides g.o.d, Bang has produced or composed for many other artists, including veterans Im Chang-jung and Park Ji-yoon, singer-actor Rain, groups Wonder Girls, 2AM, and Teen Top, and R&B singer Baek Ji-young.

2005

In 2005, Bang left JYP and founded his own company, Big Hit Entertainment, where he continued to write, compose and produce for its artists.

Under the Big Hit label, he signed up RM, at age 15, who would go on to lead the boy band BTS.

2016

He co-wrote six songs for BTS in their 2016 album Wings.

Its success garnered Bang the Best Producer Award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards and the Songwriter Award at the Melon Music Awards that year.

One of only two newcomers to the ranking, Bang was listed as the 16th richest person in South Korea.

On July 1, following an organizational restructuring, Hybe Corporation announced Bang's resignation as CEO of the company to return his focus to music production.

He was replaced by Park Ji-won, but retained his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Bang is worth an estimated $3.2 billion as of July 2021.

Bang was featured on the cover of the April 2022 issue of Time magazine, together with BTS, following the release of the outlet's annual list of the 100 Most Influential Companies in March.

Later that month, he received an honorary doctorate in Business from Seoul National University—he is the first figure in the entertainment industry to be awarded such—in recognition of his "contribution to the development and innovation of the nation's cultural and entertainment industry" and for his "role in turning K-pop into a global pop music culture".

In October 2022, Bang donated 5 billion won (approximately $3.5 million) to the Community Chest of Korea.

The success of the IPO, together with the commercial success of BTS that year, Bang's steps into diversification with apps like Weverse, and acquisitions of companies like Source Music and Pledis Entertainment among others, landed him on the 2020 edition of Variety's Variety500, an annual index of the 500 most influential business leaders in the global media industry.
