BTS Required to Reserve a Practice Room under HYBE
In addition to the BTS Museum, HYBE will also house practice rooms on the third floor. Artists under Big Hit and its affiliates (Source Music, BELIFT LAB, Pledis Entertainment, and KOZ Entertainment) can make use of these practice rooms.
In relation to the practice rooms, HYBE has created a reservation system, and BTS is no exception to this. Since numerous artists will be utilizing these spaces, the company decided to make a reservation system for fair use of the practice rooms. Moreover, Big Hit's subsidiaries are required to pay a fee for using the practice rooms, since they remain as independent companies.
HYBE's Other Features
Meanwhile, HYBE has more to offer to its employees and artists. A garden, a café, and an auditorium are all located on the top floor. All of these are designed to enhance communication and thinking for the employees. Named "Comb," the garden features more than 200 birch trees and carries the meaning that employees can "comb" through their exhausted minds, and arrange their thoughts properly.
Floors 1-6 will be composed of the music production facilities such as a lounge, wardrobe, film studios, and dance studios. There will also be libraries on floors 8-10 and 14-16, and a fitness area on floors 11-13.
