Block B‘s Zico recently appeared on the variety show Omniscient Interfering View where he showed the cast members around HYBE, the parent label of his own company KOZ Entertainment.
HYBE is the powerhouse company launched by Bang Si Hyuk (PD Bang) that was built on the backbone of BTS. It is now one of the biggest entertainment companies around, housing the likes of NewJeans, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, TXT, SEVENTEEN, and the boy group formed by Zico, BOYNEXTDOOR.
Besides the usual working spaces, the building boasts many areas that are on another level of luxury for an office building. Check them out below!
1. Cafeteria
First up, the cafeteria elicited the most amazed reactions from the cast. Besides being incredibly spacious, the best thing about it is the breathtaking view that overlooks the Han River.

As for the food, HYBE’s canteen puts a premium on customization. They always offer a choice between Western and Korean food that are both cooked by well-trained chefs.
Employees and artists can also make their own salads and take home as many side dishes as they want.

2. Cafe
On the level above the cafeteria is a modern cafe that employees often use as a meeting area. Like the former, it boasts a stunning view of the Han River thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows.
They offer many seats and open spaces to ensure a comfortable experience for all.
3. Salon
Besides the food areas, the salon also amazed the hosts of Omniscient Interfering View. HYBE has their very own hair and beauty salon inside their building.
Though this is not common for a usual business, it makes perfect sense for K-Pop companies to offer it so their artists would not need to spend extra time traveling to traditionally-owned salons to get ready for their schedules.

4. Gym
Finally, another area that big entertainment companies now include in their buildings is a gym. HYBE’s fitness zone spans two floors and includes several machines, free weights, and rows of treadmills.
It has a luxurious feel to it while also being fully functional. The gym is located in the 12th floor and is open 24/7.
