Scooter Braun, controversial record executive, retires from management, but he's not yet done with BTS agency HYBE

Hindustan Times  

On Monday, June 17, Scooter Braun officially cut his ties with the management aspect of his job as a record executive. And that is a father first, a CEO second, and a manager no more.” He explained that with the “addition of QC to Hybe America and existing business at Big Machine,” his ties with the South Korean giant will continue to “add amazing execs and artists to the roster.” In his statement, Braun also name-drops Jungkook's last year's solo project, the other BTS members and new acts like NewJeans, Tomorrow X Together, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, ILLIT, The Scarlet Opera and Ava Max. Recapitulating Scooter Braun and HYBE's history In 2021, Braun's own company, Ithaca Holdings, merged with HYBE, the South Korean entertainment company home to the K-pop supergroup BTS. Other properties of Braun's company, including SB Projects, Big Machine Label Group and his clients at the time - Bieber, Grande, Demi Lovato and others - were also acquired by HYBE through HYBE America. Pro-Palestinian supporters also initiated a “Help Divest Scooter Braun from HYBE” Change.org petition against him in the wake of Israel's war on Palestine's Gaza Strip.
