Realistically speaking, we don't know what can happen in these next 2 years. (Speaking this way, since things will switch up once BTS as a group is back in 2025)

Honestly I don't see JYP letting his company get taken like that, cuz he still the chairman at the end of the day. And its clear he wanna expand JYP.

YG no matter how down bad they are, they still have BlackPink who's the biggest girl group in the world, whether you like it or not, and it seems like BabyMonster is coming to bring in some money and prestige for the company too.

So YG going to go through what he go through...while also doing it on his own. He not gonna let no one kick him out..you see how he's back now, even after all the scandals and tainted name.

SM wouldn't even be doing this, if it wasn't for Sooman having shady people around. Cuz even he didn't want all this to happen.

I definitely believe the Big 3 wants to stay independent no matter what.

- this is me speaking unbiased btw -

I'm Glad BIGHIT Is Finally Becoming Like ADOR, In Terms Of Having TXT Being Booked With Different Companies To Work With, Like ADOR Do With NewJeans.

in the past week, TXT has been announced as ambassadors for 3 brands already.

a earphone company, a hair care + skin care company I believe it was, and a cosmetics company.

I hope TXT as a group can work with even more brands, and not only that but individually have them do different stuff too. Like modeling, becoming individual brand ambassadors...especially Yeonjun, and etc.

Kakao overall has better leverage domestically but some investors are skeptic @ kakao bc they usually just dump money without taking care over the comp they actually invested in lol. HYBE usually allows them to retain creative control+give money+connection so for growth I see why LSM is eye-ing HYBE more. Kakao is also unpredictable bc they can absolutely strengthen their stake while swaying the minority investors aka the 9% is just the beginning.

All sides have pros and cons imo. It’s up to HYBE’s deal rn.

Yeah I heard others say that.

That they invest in different businesses, without doing anything further after they purchase them

HYBE and their Artists will be fine.

As long as HYBE has BTS, they always gonna stay float financially.

And even without BTS group activities, NewJeans is adding to the HYBE reputation with their take over on charts and etc.

While TXT also the second act after BTS under HYBE to get a #1 on the Billboard 200, selling over 2 million copies with one album and etc.

ENHYPEN playing in domes and arenas..

The other Artists also doing their thing, making big moves too.

Yeah they might not bring in as much money as BTS obviously, but them doing so well keeps up HYBE reputation as a whole, and that leads to the shareholders being kept happy and investors being fine with what they investing in.

now I’m curious which one the investors will choose if this deal pushes thru.. Chris Lee x Kakao or LSM x HYBE.

Well HYBE has BTS....that alone will make investors mouth drool.

And knowing the investors, they'll probably see any connection with HYBE- means a connection with BTS.

And BTS at this point is a brand in itself.

Like the biggest thing to come out of Korea and has put Korea name on the map in so many ways.

So I could see the investors going with LSM x HYBE duo.

The fact I'm considering Lee Sooman and Bang PD a duo now lmao...Sooman must've been real desperate to turn to HYBE, his biggest competition..I guess you WILL get humbled when you get too big headed

So looks like the rumors were true and HYBE really is looking into SM and helping or whatever you call it with Lee Sooman.

To ME it sounds like they finalizing everything, but of course HYBE not gonna say it.

And for those wondering, it was Lee Sooman who reached out to HYBE (at least this time), not the other way around.

Since Sooman tryna get last minute efforts I'm guessing..idk

Im on HYBE side lol

Idk what's going on..everything all over the place

All I gotta say is, as long as HYBE has BTS, they never going down.

And people putting them in the Big 3 or Big 4 title is actually insulting lol, since their bigger than those 3 combined

Well I'm rooting that HYBE come out on TOP, and get themselves away from these other messy companies

i just thought about it.

They was supposed to debut last year, then it was supposed to be the beginning of this year...

I already know about what happened with Trainee A and etc lol.

But I just wanted y'alls guesses on when you think the new group coming.

MY guess is beginning of next year 2024.

The earliest, is a surprise debut announcement at the end of this year, with a new lineup reveal.....that's IF it happens.

I honestly can't read Bang PD mind😂

Kakao deal has not gone through as Lee Soo Man has put an injunction, and his case is very strong.

Like it hasn't gone through 100% or its only half way finalized and won't be 100% until the courts say what they say??

Quote from Lulu_Key

no one knows

its all speculation and rumors

Its gonna be a year or two before things clear up

Ahh okk

Like I saw someone say that everything isn't finalized because the courts are involved, and that Lee Sooman has a strong chance at winning it, since they went behind his back.

So if he does win, he could still team up with HYBE and etc etc or no?
