October 15th will be a day to remember for the members of BTS.
10월 15일은 BTS에게는 기억에 남을 날이 될 것입니다.
First, they claimed the Billboard Music Award for Top Social Artist for the fourth year in a row, and there they performed their hit song, "Dynamite."
먼저 방탄소년단은 4년 연속으로 빌보드 뮤직 어워드에서 '탑 소셜 아티스트'상을 수상했고, 시상식장에서 히트곡 '다이나마이트'를 열창했습니다.
And their day was far from over.
이게 전부가 아닙니다.
Their management company, Big Hit Entertainment, also went public on the Korean stock market, making the boys around 13 million dollars each.
방탄소년단의 소속사인 빅히트 엔터네이먼트가 한국 증시에 상장되었고, 멤버들은 1인당 약 1,300만 달러 가량을 벌게 됩니다.
The stock opened at double the IPO price, then shot up by the daily limit of 30 percent.
공모가의 2배로 거래를 시작했고 1일 상승 제한폭인 30%까지 '따상'했습니다.
It closed about 4.5 percent lower, but still a profitable day.
시초가보다 약 4.5% 낮은 가격에 장을 마감했습니다만, 그래도 남는 날이었습니다.
The company's chairman, Bang Si-hyuk, had said he would treat the members equally, gave them nearly 70,000 shares each.
방시혁 빅히트 대표이사는 방탄소년단 멤버 모두를 공평하게 대우할 것이라고 밝혔고, 멤버 1인당 7만주의 주식을 증여했습니다.
The stock's debut got media attention around the world, but much of that pointing out how much the company relies on BTS
빅히트의 상장은 전세계 언론의 관심을 받았습니다. 그러나 대부분은 빅히트의 BTS 의존도에 관한 보도였습니다.
They account for the vast majority of the company's revenue, and it's a concern for investors that the members of the band still need to perform the mandatory military duty, required of all able-bodied South Korean men.
BTS는 빅히트의 수입 대부분을 차지하고 있고, 방탄소년단이 병역의 의무를 이행해야 한다는 점이 투자자들에게는 걱정거리 입니다. 모든 신체 건강한 한국 남성들의 의무입니다.
