In this episode of The Story Real Korea, we tell how a nearly bankrupt agency, a fandom called ARMY, and a run of history-making moments turned into a Billboard number one, a blockbuster IPO, a billion-dollar US acquisition, and a global music empire.
In this episode: • Bang Si-hyuk bets on nobodies • BTS debuts — and ARMY forms • The UN stage and a message • "Dynamite" hits number one in America • Big Hit becomes HYBE and goes shopping
