HYBE Corporation (하이브), is a South Korea-based multinational entertainment company founded by Bang Si Hyuk, originally as BigHit Entertainment in 2005 and with BTS being the growth engine of the company.

In March 2021, BigHit Entertainment announced its rebranding as a HYBE to fit their existing areas of business. With this change, all the music label activities run directly in Big Hit Entertainment were moved under independent BIGHIT MUSIC, where the other areas like the solutions and platforms stayed to be run directly under HYBE. All other subsidiaries obtained by Big Hit Entertainment so far have remained independent, under HYBE.

As of 2022, HYBE provides for their music labels operations (including legal activities, event management, and production), business solutions based on music (original content such as documentaries, variety shows, games, and learning initiatives), and platforms (Weverse Company) that covers concerts and music platforms, artist-to-fan communications channels, and e-commerce.
