If HYBE is so much into buying/acquisition why they...

Pls no

if Hybe tries to Fuck with KQ than I slap them

I mean, they got BTS and Seventeen, the top BGs of their generation. They almost got EXO too lol.

They also got G-Friend, before Source disbanded them, and Fromis_9. Pledis as well, so they started out exactly how you stated.

H1-Key just blew up, so they may not have been on HYBE's radar until now, and you are assuming that all of these companies want to sell and be a part of the HYBE machine.

There's a lot more that goes into the negotiations to be acquired than that.

all hybe and bang sihyuk cares about is more money. I know every company is like that but hybe is just super extreme about it. They just need to chill they already have so many amazing groups. Why do they want to become kakao 2.0, with like 200 sub labels. It's too much.

Quote from bartkun

Kakao has just 4 subsidiaries which focus fully on music

saying that they have 200 sub labels is just bullshit lol

HYBE already has more subsidiaries than Kakao focusing fully on music lol...

aye don't drag me

Quote from bartkun

woo!ah! or H1-KEY?

Come on bart, we all know that you just want your favorite nugus to get bailed out, just say it

Quote from bartkun

woo!ah! has nice songs, and Nana, and Wooyeon already acting which can always benefit group in a long run if one of them will be in a hit drama

April sunbaenim would be proud

1) LSM wanted to sell his shares for years, who knows if those companies have a majority shareholder who wants to sell.

2) HYBE wasn’t just getting control of SM, but the relationships and musical assets/infrastructure that SM has created over years in SK, that HYBE, as a fairly new company, would love to take advantage of. I think SM said they are releasing 22 albums this year or something. Even with HYBE unlimited money, they probably wouldn’t be able to release that many songs, music videos, and coordinate promotions for that many releases.
