I think it’s good that BigHit is actually crediting Pledis and their artists. Some companies could very well just say that it was because of their own groups, and BigHit could very well do that with how popular BTS is. But they’re actually giving credit to the groups that made this possible, and I think it’s important for a company to do that.
