Newjeans is the only Hybe group not a part of the Weverse Con lineup

So that strategic partnership with YG is still on, this investment is from this year right? Also doesn't Hybe have shareholding in YG Plus?

yes

i Think @TPHF said one of yg plus directors is working at hybe

upd " Changwoo Lee is Hybe's Corporate Strategy Leader, and director at YG+."

And JYP is the only one from JYP

Hybe's share ownership in YG+ gives them the right to instal an outside executive director to its board, which is Changwoo Lee. His term ends in 2026. He's also the general manager at Koz entertainment

Hybe and YG are still in cahoots??? Damn.... Hybe really has some link with every Big 3 in some way...Bang and JYP besties, Hybe and YG strategic partners and SM via Kakao deal

HYBE has invested and using YG+ for distributions for years LOL

They are strategic partners (hybe did not buy YG for clarity)

I am aware of this and I did use the term strategic partners in this thread above, I am surprised that the partnership is still actively ongoing this year given how we have not heard much on this partnership in the past year or so.

The whole strategic partnership was blown out of proportion when the hybe stans were calling it "HYBE bought YG" but in fact it was HYBE invested into YG+ as it was going to use YG+ as distributor

Actually in the industry, there are many strategic partnership than kpop stans might aware. JYP and SM both has stakes in FLO,

Well that’s more than 99% of the users on this forum. I’m glad someone learnt how to do proper news search and fact checking rather than confusing random troll comments as “news”.

Consider yourself an intellectual and have some fruit on me!

It'd be a wise decision to lay low for a while in the midst of the big issue
