Lineup
The Melon radio show will only be limited to music groups and solo singers who are currently part of the Big Hit Music label. Along with BTS, expectations are also rising on getting Tomorrow X Together on the 'Big Hit Music Record' show. Plus, solo artists like Lee Hyun signed with Big Hit Music may also make an appearance on the show.
The news of a radio series exclusively for Big Hit Music artists has created a lot of social media chatter receiving mixed responses. While ARMY and MOAs are celebrating the fact that Big Hit Music made an entire radio series only for Big Hit artists, other fan groups like HYBE's Enhypen and more have stated that they should include more HYBE artists and not just Big Hit Music. An excited fan wrote, "EXCLUSIVE FOR BIGHIT MUSIC ARTISTS ONLY (Lee Hyun, BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER) THE EMPHASIZE IS K!LL!NG ME OMFG!" Another ENHYPEN fan stated, "They should have add Enhypen, belift is basically own by BH. This is biased and unfair." A user said, "BIGHIT really be taking over the whole kpop industry day by day only because of BTS pls I’m here for it."
