Big Hit Entertainment has just announced over a press release today (31 Jul) that the company has acquired Source Music as part of a subsidiary under Big Hit. This news is no surprise to the fans of BTS and GFriend as both companies have strong ties since the formation of the boyband , 8eight in 2007 and GLAM under the management of Big Hit and Source Music in 2012.

It was on that same day that GFriend debuted with their first EP "Season of Glass". That said, other than the agency collaboration of creating GLAM, the relationship between Big Hit and Source Music has always been a mystery to many as zero to no interactions are made between the artists of the companies.

PRODUCE 101 was first launched by CJ E&M and was broadcasted on Mnet in January 2016. It was a mega success in South Korea and has created a new market of supporting 'temporary groups' such as I.O.I, WANNA ONE and IZ*ONE. It was almost as if that any group produced out of this survival show is bound to succeed in the entertainment industry. As a long-time avid viewer of this survival show series from the beginning, there are a few major points that have allowed for the success of Produce 101. 1.

I have never shared with anyone before but I thought it will be enlightening to share after mustering some courage to post this.
