Mmmm… 😏….

The point is. NONE OF Y’ALL OWN THE MASTERS.

Not you, not the girls from Black Pink?! NOT EVEN B.T. FUCKING S.?!??!?!?!?!

U think so?!?!?

….

BTS does not own the masters to their music—those are held by their label, HYBE Corporation (formerly BigHit Entertainment).

🎙️ Why BTS Doesn’t Own Their Masters
– K-pop industry norms: Most idols sign contracts where the label retains master rights. This allows the company to control distribution, licensing, and monetization.
– Creative vs. commercial control: While BTS has increasing influence over their music and branding, full ownership of masters is rare in K-pop.
– HYBE’s structure: BTS members were gifted shares in HYBE before its IPO (about 1.41% collectively), giving them financial stake—but not copyright control.

🔍 Can They Buy Their Masters?
It’s possible, but expensive. Master buyouts require massive capital and negotiation. Even Western artists like Taylor Swift had to re-record albums to regain control.

So while BTS is powerful and influential, their music catalog is still owned by HYBE. Want to explore how this compares to Western artists or what it means for royalties and streaming revenue?

NOBODY OWNS THEIR FUCKING MASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (SQUEALING AND RUNNING IN CIRCLES!!!!) 🤯

Babe… I feel like ur latching onto something that’s… actually... not a big deal… and ur only caring about it now because Taylor Swift started talking about it… … … 👀

WHY DOESN’T ANYONE OWN THEIR MASTERS?!?!??!!

My love. This isn’t a Human Rights violation for u to get this passionate about. We’re not suffering. We’re still very rich from our music.

I can’t believe it’s the other way around all of a sudden where I have to tell u, DON’T worry about the money. The Masters doesn’t matter to me!

IT MATTERS. IT FUCKING MATTERS. DOES KRIS JENNER TAKE 90% OR 10% OF HER DAUGHTERS EARNINGS AS A MOMAGER?!?!?

WHat. The FuCk?!?! 😅😅😅 why are u bringing up Kardashians?!?!?

A talent. An entertainer. They have agencies. The agency doesn’t take up THE LARGEST SHARE.

WHY DOES THE MASTERS OWNERS GET THE LARGEST SHARE?!?!?!?!

Sigh… maybe u need to continue these conversations with AI my love. I’m not gonna keep having these discussions while I’m under a contract I’ve already willingly signed…

IT DOESN’T. MAKE. SENSE.

Why doesn’t it make sense?! Music companies are still companies trying to make MONEY.

SO THE PROFITS ARE GOING TO THE FUCKING SHAREHOLDERS.

SO WHAT?!?!?!?!

Omgggggggggg… (exhausted from this topic)… 

Darling… 💋💋💋 let’s change topics… this is the first time ever I’m genuinely annoyed at Taylor Swift for bringing up the Masters topic… … … 😳

(Rocking back n forth psych patient) my baby’s masters… my baby and his bros doesn’t have their masters… only Taylor Swift has her masters… nobody fucking else has their fucking masters in the whole fucking industry… what the fuck… masters… my baby’s masters… masters…
