The Korean media outlet noted that BTS's "Butter" has spent seven consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
While BTS's "Permission to Dance" took over the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for the week ending on July 24, "Butter" remains as the longest-charting No. 1 song by an Asian act on Hot 100 in history.
Dispatch stated that this Billboard milestone attained by BTS is something that could not have been imagined in the past.
Over on YouTube, BTS's "Butter" holds the record for the most views within the first 24 hours and the biggest YouTube premiere in history.
In addition to "Butter," another notable factor for the development of HYBE, formerly Big Hit Entertainment, is the rapid growth of Weverse.
Weverse is a fan community platform that hosts some of the top celebrities in South Korea and international countries, with BLACKPINK being the latest artist to join.
HYBE's uptrend is reflected in its stock price. This 2021 alone, BTS's agency is showing an incredible rise of more than 98%.

Although HYBE is yet to reach the 52-week high (350,000 won), it is expected that it will only be a matter of time to surpass the 300,000 won that was recorded in June 2021.
An expert shared that with regards to online concerts, BTS alone is accounted for 65% of the total number of visitors and 71% of sales in the market share.
