  • HYBE Announces Details For New Business Strategy HYBE 2.0

    HYBE’s three main business areas, previously consisting of labels, solutions, and platforms, will be restructured into music, platforms, and tech-based future growth businesses through HYBE 2.0. To secure mid-to-long-term business competitiveness, HYBE has been preparing the HYBE 2.0 strategy since the second half of last year.

    In the music business, HYBE plans to enhance the quality of content and fan experiences, accelerate the expansion of its operations in Korea, the United States, Japan, and Latin America, and create synergies between these regions.

    Weverse, the core of the platform business, will expand its genres targeting Japan and the United States and enhance its service model to activate artist activities, providing fans with richer experiences.

    In the tech-based future growth business sector, HYBE will expand its incubating game business and pursue advanced R&D for future entertainment.


    Establishment of HYBE MUSIC GROUP APAC with multi-label system advancement


    HYBE will establish HYBE MUSIC GROUP APAC to oversee the multi-label business in Korea and Japan. This new group will focus on strengthening strategies and processes, investing resources, and enhancing music service functions to accelerate global business expansion.

    Shin Young Jae, the current CEO of BIGHIT MUSIC, will be the first CEO of HYBE MUSIC GROUP APAC. Since joining BIGHIT Entertainment in 2019, Shin Young Jae has led various strategic, policy, and business model developments and successfully enhanced the label’s organization and functions.


    Establishing a leading position in the global music industry with a “Multi-home, Multi-genre” strategy


    HYBE is pursuing a “Multi-home, Multi-genre” strategy to establish a leading position in local markets by reflecting local cultures and characteristics, particularly in the United States, Japan, and Latin America. In HYBE 2.0, business strategies are being concretized by integrating K-pop expertise tailored to each market environment. The aim is to secure a leading position in each market and simultaneously attract new audiences who previously did not consume K-pop, thereby expanding HYBE’s ecosystem.

    In the United States, the world’s largest music market, HYBE plans to focus on launching a label service and developing localized new talent.

    First, under HYBE America, a label service that combines traditional management business in the United States with HYBE’s 360 business model will be launched. The label service will design the career growth curve of artists and provide appropriate business models at each stage. By developing a business model that supports artist growth, which is HYBE’s strength, the label service plans to operate by offering comprehensive services to local artists, going beyond simple recording or management contracts.

    Additionally, HYBE plans to continue producing localized new talent in the United States, starting with KATSEYE, which debuted this year. KATSEYE, HYBE’s first localized group in the United States, debuted in June through a project that introduced K-pop methodologies to the American pop genre in collaboration with Geffen Records. For KATSEYE’s debut, HYBE established various infrastructures in the United States for artist development, including training, marketing and promotion, and A&R. It is expected that this established infrastructure will continue to be utilized to produce more localized new talent in the future.

    In Japan, the world’s second-largest music market, HYBE plans to focus on producing localized artists and expanding its solutions business within the J-pop market. The goal is to simultaneously grow the presence of K-pop and establish a significant presence in the J-pop genre, ultimately positioning HYBE as a leading company in Japan, comparable to its status in Korea. HYBE Japan also plans to introduce new localized talent following &TEAM.

    To accelerate its growth, HYBE Japan has newly appointed Kim Young Min, former General Manager of SM Entertainment, as Chairman of HYBE Japan. Known as a leading expert on Japan in the entertainment industry, Chairman Kim Young Min aims to apply the successful formula established by HYBE in the K-pop industry to the Japanese market, with the ambition of elevating HYBE Japan to become the top entertainment company in Japan.

    In Latin America, HYBE Latin America is building dedicated studios in Mexico City and recruiting and nurturing producers and artists. The first HYBE Latin artist, produced using the K-pop system, is expected to debut next year.

    HYBE Latin America, which is responsible for the Latin market, is currently building dedicated studios in Mexico City as part of its infrastructure development. The company is also working on recruiting and nurturing producers and artists. HYBE Latin America plans to rapidly advance various music-based business models and technology-driven new ventures through strong partnerships with leading local companies. Starting next year, it is expected to unveil various achievements, including the debut of HYBE Latin’s first artist produced using the K-pop system.


    Launch of subscription membership for superfan platform Weverse—expansion of fandom service model


    Weverse, the world’s largest superfan platform, will expand its fandom service model starting in the fourth quarter of this year.

    First, a subscription membership service will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year. The subscription membership will be a separate service from the existing fan club memberships but run simultaneously, offering enhanced features for fans to use Weverse more comfortably and some services linked to fan club usage.

    This service will include features such as digital membership cards, charging bonus Jelly, watching videos without advertisements, and saving VOD for offline use. Services such as viewing membership content and priority for event participation can be included optionally. Artists that are part of Weverse can easily open and use subscription membership services at any time as they wish.

    Weverse DM, which is receiving love as a form of communication between artists and fans, will expand as a service that includes various other artists including HYBE artists within this year. Additionally, the advertisements that were partially introduced in certain areas of Weverse earlier this year will be fully implemented within this year.


    Securing HYBE’s new mid-to-long-term growth engines through tech-based future growth businesses


    The tech-based future growth business sector of HYBE 2.0 is responsible for the strategic exploration and preemption of new growth areas arising from changes in the entertainment industry environment. The goal is to secure HYBE’s new mid-to-long-term growth engines by actively attempting to integrate content-related technologies and predicting the direction of changes in customer experience.

    In the tech-based future growth business sector, various new businesses that have been prepared internally at HYBE will undergo strategic coordination and integration. Currently, business model verification and testing are being pursued in areas including gaming business, audio/voice technology, generative AI, original story business, and integrated online/offline experience design. New investments in these areas will be carefully made, considering the company’s future direction and profitability.

    HYBE’s new CEO Lee Jae Sang revealed, “Based on HYBE 2.0, which focuses on nurturing music, platform, and tech-based future growth businesses, HYBE will continue to develop the domestic and global music business, solidify its leading position in the changing superfan market through platform business, and secure mid-to-long-term growth engines through tech-based future growth businesses.”

  • BTS Jimin’s Spotify streams are fraudulent?

    kpop and other western fandoms are crying just because they're not so dedicated

    crying about streaming farms

    fans are streaming their fave release

    same happened during seven release and butter

    all cried about armys or jk solos


    fandoms are more dedicated

    even at korean charts fandoms mass stream song to support their fave

    It could be annoying for others, but it's not prohibited

    Growing suspicions of Min Heejin's witchcraft management, 'Jiyoungnim0814' disappears without trace


    The suspicions about Ador CEO's Min Heejin's shamanistic management are being revealed one by one as true, causing a huge stir. CEO Min has remained silent about the suspicions, only stating, "She's just an acquaintance", and Shaman Lee, known as 'Jiyoungnim0814' has also disappeared.

    On the afternoon of the 26th, TV Daily visited M Buddhist Temple located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul where Lee is known to be running. However Lee already had left the place and is not answering calls with her previously registered phone number.

    The temple in question is being run by other shaman, H, under a different name. H slightly opened the door at the sound of the doorbell and looked at the reporters with eyes full of caution. There was no sign on the front door but the interior, briefly open, revealed the appearance of a fortune teller's shop.

    When asked, " What is your relationship with CEO Min Heejin ?" , Mr H cautiously answered, " No relationship and I'm not the shaman mentioned." He continued, "We've been running O Dharma Hall since January this year. I don't know who the previous tenant was," explaining that he had nothing to do with the incident.

    5. They tried experimenting with some kind of rituals with Tteok?

    Shaman:- Keep the Tteok in the freezer and share it.

    MHJ: - Will the f*ckers feel better after eating this? How will this help?

    Shaman:- - It'll really wake them up, It'll shape their head

    MHJ: - Ok ok - There are so many bast*rd that I need to feed

    - Assah. I'll have to feed those bosses when they come home. Kim Sungsoo, Park Jiwon.



    6. Min Heejin was like a delivery service

    7. She would order snacks for the shaman for their daily rituals. Sweet.

    Shaman:

    - Unnie-yah, can I request a favor? Can you get me some Super Snack(?)?

    MHJ:

    - Please be specific, do I need to send it via express? Or should I go pick it up directly? How much?

    Shaman:

    - Send it express. Give me around 100K won worth

    MHJ:

    - I'll ship it to you through the department store

    2. "Are you all not doing that? What kind of shamanistic rituals? Yah, look at what you've done. They'll end up visiting more shamans because of you. They'll blame me because they're performing the ritual (t/n: 굿 is a form of shaman ritual) ceremonies themselves." (April 25, 2024, press conference)


    3. Min Heejin spent approximately 70 million won on rituals and prayer in 2021 alone.


    4. The content of the prayers were also creative. For example, prohibiting girl group's X to stop imitating her.

    MHJ:

    - Everyone knows that X is like a muse to me

    - But in reality, X stole my style and tried to copy me. I want to correct that right away

    - That person is in fact copying me. I hope that X can receive [your prayer(?)] well. All this time, X has been doing a lot of pretending

    Shaman:

    - X has to express it like that

    MHJ:

    - That's right ㅋㅋ But that kid is so worried about her work being stolen

    Shaman:

    - Even if she's a crazy b*tch I'll enter that b*tch's body (t/n: possession)

    MHJ:

    - If she's weird, she wouldn't receive you?

    Shaman:

    - Yah, she's mentally deranged

    MHJ:

    - X? She's a bit cocky

    Shaman

    - I'm going to make her admit that she's your copycat

    February 4th, 2024 - Drawing up plans with executive A to ruin Bang Sihyuk and HYBE

    A: "I really wanna see Bang Si Hyuk go to h***."
    A: "We have to make a move before BTS returns. 1 year left."
    M: "Kekekeke."
    A: "In 1 year, bring down all his delusions, the multi-label, the American dream, platform IT business..."
    M: "If he's destined to go to h***, then he'll go to h***."
    A: "Trying to turn something that's worth something into something that isn't worth anything might be hard, but trying to bring down a system that is barely holding itself together is easy. Just peck at it from the side without using much strength. As long as we use our brains. We can give them h*** and get our freedom."
    M: "That would be great."
    A: "This is our plan at ADOR."
