BTS RM recently lavished praise on HYBE’s owner and BTS’ producer Bang PD for nurturing the septet’s musical talent and creative voices in their initial days.
In a recent 'Artists on Artists' podcast interview with American rapper and record producer Pharrell Williams, BTS RM praised the group's producer for allowing them the creative freedom to pursue their own music.
BTS's leader believes that the group's massive success is possible because Bang PD prioritized an artist's voice and creative freedom over the strictures of a traditional K-pop idol system. He mentioned:
“But I think for my case, my label and Mr. Bang, CEO of our label…I think he was different. Because he is actually producer and truly understands music.”
BTS RM believes Bang PD allowed them to maintain human touch in their music
Bang PD, also known by his real name Bang Shi-hyuk, is not only BIG HIT MUSIC and HYBE’s founder but also BTS’ producer.
Fans are aware that BTS’ ace producer was impressed by leader RM’s raw talent and fiery rapping skills and decided to make BTS centered around him.
BTS RM told the music magazine that he was lucky to have met Bang PD, who gave them the freedom to develop their musical talents and skills and helped them keep a human touch to their music.
BTS RM revealed that producer Bang PD has always placed a high value on producers and engineers, focusing on the quality of the septet's music rather than going by the rulebook of a traditional K-pop system.
According to the Mono singer, this allowed BTS to solely focus on the positive aspects of the K-pop training system, such as putting the emphasis on good quality content, technique, and making it more humane and relatable. BTS RM said:
“We always try to emphasize that we are humans, and you’re a human. I’m just a human who makes music and performs in front of other people.”
ARMYs lauded Bang PD for prioritizing BTS and allowing them to develop their natural musical talents.
Bang PD has launched two successful boy groups BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER in his tenure as a producer and created the massive empire HYBE , acquiring several other artists under it.
When it was decided to make BIG HIT MUSIC a public company, Bang PD stepped down as chairman to focus on what he really loved, i.e., music production.
Bang PD has been actively working on LE SSERAFIM and TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s music as well as BTS' group and solo projects.
