To add on, the articles say that yes, Pledis, will operate independently. But they will be receiving professional business and corporate assistance from Big Hit.

Carats, please don't see the situation in a negative light. BH supports musical creativity and growth. This opportunity will open doors for all the Pledis artists, especially Baekho and Woozi, who are as both producers for their respective groups https://twitter.com/17_HAMZZI/status/1264765033386373120

Just my opinion!
Some people seem to be worrying about the possibility of SEVENTEEN's music changing after the acquisition.
