THEBLACKLABEL Unlisted Stock Status
THEBLACKLABEL is currently an unlisted company, traded only on over-the-counter (OTC) stock trading platforms and some securities companies' unlisted stock services. There is talk of a potential IPO (Initial Public Offering), and the industry estimates the company's value at around 1 trillion won.
Precautions for OTC Stock Trading:
Low liquidity, low transparency, large stock price volatility, and limited public information.
Risk of fraud or false listings when trading through unofficial routes.
Before investing, it is essential to check the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure and corporate IR materials.
Consulting with an expert is recommended for those without over-the-counter investment experience.
Music Strategy
During his time at YG, Teddy oversaw the concept and songs of BIGBANG, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK, and has recently been focusing on artists under THEBLACKLABEL.
However, YG previously had the problem of longer comeback cycles due to its high dependence on Teddy. Recently, the trend has been to diversify the structure with artist-specific self-production and collaboration with overseas composers. Currently, he continues to produce music targeting the global market, focusing on BLACKPINK, Jeon Somi, and Taeyang.
THEBLACKLABEL directly communicates with fans through TBL SHOP, increasing brand value by combining music and merchandise. At the same time, it has potential investment attractiveness in the unlisted stock market.
Teddy Park's overall producing capabilities, which have shaped the flow of K-pop, and the brand strategy based on the global fandom are the biggest reasons to keep an eye on THEBLACKLABEL in the future.
