The future of HYBE

  • The BTS members are all focused only on solo projects and will eventually enlist in the military. It’s well known that BTS bring in the most money for HYBE yet Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande were given almost the same percentage of stock as each BTS member. Who will HYBE rely on to make up for the gap that BTS will leave for the next few years? Will Scooter and his clients finally step up or will it be up to the kpop groups whose popularity is still mostly in Asia and will in no way make up the gap.

    Approved the thread.
  • Honestly I wouldn’t count on Justin and Ariana as they would need to release frequently and tour frequently which just isn’t the motto. I feel like using the 4th gen groups to make them grow their following will be enough.

  • Soumu has Lesserafim

    Ador has newjeans and MHJ

    Pledis have svt

    Koz has zico

    Bighit has connections and BTS members solos.

    Hybe now has weverse naver (they're on the good books of Naver)

    They are 2nd owner of ygplus

    I think they'll be alright.

  • few years? more than half of BTS is here releasing music all through 2023. Jin and Suga are back in 2024 and BTS in 2025.

  • Kpop fans underestimate just how much BTS earns. They make hundreds of millions of dollars every quarter with most of that being their concerts and album sales. HYBE can no longer make that because they have to spend more on group comebacks (comebacks shows must be expensive because it was the grand prize for Queendom) and make less profit off these groups. HYBE could spend the bare minimum on BTS comebacks and make way more profit. YG+ Deal is more beneficial for YG not HYBE. Same for Naver.

    IM SAYINGGGG!!?!!!


    Like people really think BTS gonna be like Big Bang or something, where their on Top in the music scene, but then enlistment hit and when they all come back, they not releasing music anymore and going separate ways💀.


    BTS WILL BE BACK "quicker" then people think.

    Plus HYBEs backed up content.

  • If they had common sense, they would realise Hybe's focus is totally on BTS solos right now and will be back on BTS when they return.

    Because Scooter gave Ari & JB the stocks not HYBE. Banggo PD is clearly stingy when it comes to stocks. But atleast its unheard of Kpop companies to give their artists their own stocks ig


  • BTS already kicked Big Bang out of the curve even before their enlistment. That's why they were accused of buying their own albums. BB was at the top and the nugus from Bighit just came out of nowhere so fast. No one expected them to push aside one of "Korea's favorite" groups at that time. And as we all know, the rest is history. The 7 nugus never looked back and "Korea's favorites" were favorites no more.


    BTS will continue to dominate and HYBE will still benefit. At the same time kpop stans will continue to manifest or wish that BTS never regain their position where they left off. Until tBTS come back from the military duty, HYBE will diversify.
