I got a call from JP Morgan saying Chairman Bang of Big Hit En | Ethio[ARMY]⁷

I got a call from JP Morgan saying Chairman Bang of Big Hit Entertainment, now HYBE, would like to talk about our companies coming together. I was open to the conversation. I’ve always admired what Chairman Bang built. He and I started Zooming together weekly, and we barely talked about the business. We talked about our interests, meditation, music, family, and we really became friends. At one point, he said, “In the West, you guys are very transactional — it’s about what the deal looks like, how do we make money on this deal — and in the East, we’re about relationships and how we work together. Throughout this entire process, you haven’t talked to me about the transaction; you’ve talked about the relationship. And that makes me want to do business with you.” We came to a deal very quickly and privately.
