trainee debt

ok then lol

Loose cannon, YG just need to switch the numbers with alternate universe. Why can't they just get the job done.

you shouldn't be talking considering all resources to put it that way the group you stan benefitted from. I really don't get this comment lol you draw the line with ads that with it's not a big deal and easy to see the real;/fake views baemon still has more than most newer groups or even older ones

.................

anyways I'm not surprised about this results YG really needs blackpink now it's make sense why they are getting rid of YGX academy it doesn't give much profits

Well give BP a comeback then

Does BP really want cb?

The only relevant group YG had was BP and with them soft disbanded and the fact that YG keep trying to buy fake success for their irrelevant Babymonster flop I'm not surprised they didn't make any money.

I mean where are they going to get it from without BP? Money sinks like BM and Treasure lol?

they haven't disbanded as group though they probably will have a come back next year since now the girls are working on their invidual projects now, but it's obvious that their solo activities /gigs were profitable and the fact that aren't under YG for it has affected YG's financially

don't worry about baemon they are gonna start their fanmeet tour soon that will generate some profits. Ads aren't nothing special be serious lol doesn't JYP do the same for some groups?

Now tell me if YG don't need bp at all

I think their business will just go down for bit because this is huge loss of money without any perticular controversy, they just don't have groups that earn them lot of money, bp was their only hope but idk their relationship with the members.

That's why i said soft disbanded. It's going to be like Got7, Mamamoo and SNSD going forward where group activities take a back seat to the members individual careers which they control and profit from, not YG.

BlackPink aren't and never will be a reliable source of income for YG entertainment again so the have to rely on their current line up and lets be real people like AKMU and sub labels like TBL with Somi and ZionT just aren't going to bring in the big bucks with their lack of sales and touring ability so the full weight of the company's bottom line low key rests on Treasure and BabyMonster....not great when you consider Treasure is, at best, a lower mid table group in today's market and BM's launch has been heavy investment and low return thus far with them seemingly being miles behind their contemporaries in all areas.

YG were struggling to profit even when they had BP, Winner, Ikon and on/off Big Bang comebacks over the last 5 years so them falling back into making loses was not avoidable after the contract fumble with BP.

Not surprised...

This was going to happen with blackpink members not signing back. YG will make no money off bp solo gigs as they all left. A blackpink comeback is nowhere in sight. Maybe a release in 2025, maybe 2026,maybe never.

Treasure really never got anywhere much.

Babymonster is their best shot at the moment at a top group. Let's hope YG don't fumble them.

Also lbr ads are not the reason even tho YG did use ridiculous amounts of it.

Quote from TheBotter

AKMU is still under YG

No wonder they kind of desperate in sheesh promo. Buying ads isn’t unusual. What’s unusual is the fortune they that they put in the ads for at least a month (most only 1-2 weekd at max). They gain so much views compared to ANY groups that even with a hit song. YG seems like putting all their bets on BM

I'm not surprised. what albums did they release last quoter? One maybe two. DO they have any other forms of income? Besides their artist they still have to pay their other employees (lawyers, stylist, accountants) and overhead expenses (rent, taxes, utilities). They need to rethink their quality over quantity I believe to make it back to being profitable.

I don't know. I doubt the girls would have signed a group contract if they didn't want group comebacks here and there

Not surprising. And would have been worse if they had to pay the BP members to keep their management schedule.

They had to debut BM with all the shit it implies (ads/mediaplay, promotional material/styling for it, MV, performances on music shows and so on), then re-debut BM so it doubled the costs.

And we are talking about YG here, they aren't good at spending money efficiently : anyone here remembers all the noise made about how Pink Venom was the most expensive BP MV yet only for everyone wondering where all the budget went? Building specific sets with props, weird cameras rigs and so on actually costs a lot of money.

BM debuted to a very strong predecessor. I hope they are not pressured in things they can't control. YG needs to push them and forget about dungeons every 2 to 3 years. If they do that, BM will never grow to earn them as much as any other Kpop group they've ever had.

Technically, that's not true, because they spend ENORMOUS money on Youtube ads. Even if just half of it true what we can see on Kpop Daisuki, it's a LOT of money!

I read this online, and it's pretty accurate based on what I find after some Googling. And this just for YouTube.

according to this site (webfx) each viewed ads cost $0.11 - $0.50. And according to youtube charts..

Sheesh MV = 136.5M ads

Sheesh PV = 56M ads

SITM = 72.5M ads

Batter Up = 130M ads

Total = 395M ads

So approximately YG has spent between $43.45M - $197.5M on paid ads that were at least viewed. Now YG market cap is only at $608M so at worst case scenario they could have used 1/3 of their market cap just on Babymonster ads alone.

YG literally didnt release anything in Q1.. They will bounce back for sure in Q2

stop being stupid. YG spent $136M for sheesh MV is bullshit. Sheesh MV is 39 days old. So basically YG spent around $3.5M per day.

Per ad view is only cost ~$0.15. That's a f*cking 23,000,000 ad views per day

23,000,000 x 39 days = ~897,000,000 ad views and organic views are not yet counted there..

Math is not mathing!

As a digital marketer, I'm so impressed with your stupidity!

yg will have to do with bm

promoting help their charting so they can do that again and touring will increase their fandom

they are their only hope

bp is no more, nobody cares for treasure, winner too old

they putting all their money on them make sense, u gotta a lost a bit to win later

Well. Is time YG use that contract and force BP members to make a comeback. Lets go

Quote from citron-icy

AKMU is still under YG

AKMU are an irrelevant group financially as I pointed out.

The only true money makers YG had was BP over the last few years.

If AKMU is YGs main relevant group for the foreseeable future settle in for more losses on the books.

Quote from ForgottenSoul

Says a NJ stan? lmfao.

What ads are nj using? They are famous for their organic views

and if you will mention spotify playlist your fav group is infamous for literally being besties with spotify higher ups so much they are comfortable hugging, going to concerts or riding same cars and going together to hotel parties

what resources exactly? you mean spotify that gave them billboard entrance? bc non international side

worked out very well for them. Their songs went mega viral(tho it didn't need playlisting or youtube ads since nj don't use them. Korean side is the most organic), Korea loves them.

For baemon it went meh. Esp for a yg group and bp successor. Even illit is outdoing them

lmao

so she can talk all she wants

The loss seams maninly from their investment I would guess and not really connected to the core kpop business even if that declined.
