JYP is really the best in managing their finances

Quote from onwards

This is a very old source, from what I hear this leaked years ago, but note this is all based on the initial contract. Kind of explains why SM works their groups to the bone during years 1-6 then neglects them for the final 3-4, and doesn't like to send them on tours outside Korea.

I remember reading that and there were so many people that doubted the authenticity of it

Twice is making more money than SM act with their 140M world tour. With Twice cb+ Nayeon+Tzuyu+Misamo twice Will generate 2M sales. And SKZ is doing well with their albums and world tour. Besides charting on melon SM acts are weak internationally so it’s funny when you’re coming for twice when only aespa is doing great there.

Aespa are not the only SM act doing well.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

And I bet Twice can never do 1.5m tour because of their massive decline!

I'll gladly take that bet considering they literally just finished a tour of that size. You already lost the bet before you even finished typing.

Quote from SooYoung

Well JYP saves a lot of money by not hiring a good concept and good marketing team

But also they are the only big 4 company who doesn't have any other business

SM have their model, acting, entertainer branch

HYBE is investing in a lot of filial

And YG have their YG+ for actors

While JYP got rid of all the actors he had

A great comment !!!

While JYPE does have a number of Resturants including the Organic JYPBOB one in thier building, a Cafe they bought for holding Meetings and their American one, they are mainly an Idol and Music Content Creation Company.

I'd imagine that at least 80% of their Revenue is generated from their Artists with just as much Expenses that are being accrued.

So we can conclude that JYPE does invest heavily in their Artists especially compared to YGE that distribute HYBE's Albums.

TWICE has the Time to TWICE Series which is basically a huge expense for just fan content, I think the other JYPE Groups have similar Fan Series. And this is part of the Investment that JYPE puts into their Artists because they target the fans and their hope to retain them.

I'm not sure of HYBE, but I know that Big Hit heavily invested in the BTS Fan Series whereas SME and YGE have been thin in that type of fan investment which is a big expense, both in time and expense.

But ultimately with JYPE, we can pretty much guess that their Artists have been at least paid 20 billion won, it's definitely much more.

The flipside being, JYPE also releases a lot of Content for their Artists, so with those Comebacks, Digital Singles and Tours, they're getting a lot of bang for their buck.

I think JYPE focuses on what makes money which is albums sales and world touring. Digital barely makes any profit.

Because twice and skz are they secret weapon. Groups with strong fanbase. But what jyp will do when they go away?

No if your a shareholder since a business is all about squeezing as much profit as you can which is what they are doing that's why their market cap on the Korean stock exchange is much higher than sm because investor and shareholders are happy about the profit margin and the profit gained because with the profit , jype as a company can have the option of giving out bigger dividends to shareholders or do stock buy backs to boost the share price further which the latter is unlikely to happen unless your Apple or Microsoft .
