In 2023, BTS' label's parent company HYBE was the leading K-pop entertainment company in South Korea, with a sales revenue of around 2.2 trillion South Korean won. This put it far ahead of its competition, with SM Entertainment still falling below one trillion won. These two companies, alongside YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment form the so-called "Big 4" of K-pop entertainment companies in South Korea, owing to their legacy, impact on the industry, financial success, and large host of successful artists. Many of the industry's leading artists are signed to one of these companies or their sub-labels.
