I only ask because theyve been gone for a while now and in the midst of this (some) armies have cause a lot of ruckus in the kpop space, and there have been some scandals as well. People keep on saying “HYBE falls if BTS leaves” and i think thats true as a quick way for them to fall.
However, how much longer can hybe be SUSTAINED by BTS/Army? Thats a pretty tall order with how big HYBE has grown and the boys have gotten a bit older (and less appealing to younger/newer kpop fans) AND kpop has less of a reach abroad. This mixed with HYBE being riddled with legal disputes right now and a full two branches of their music division falling apart… can BTS sustain all of that?
