The Resurgence of K-Pop: A New Era Begins
The heartbeat of K-Pop resonates once again.
Hello, this is Ordinary Writer. Have you noticed the vibrant music echoing through the streets lately? With the news of BTS's full group comeback, the entertainment sector is ready to take center stage in our stock market once more.
As semiconductor stocks have been running tirelessly, we now look to the entertainment sector for a fresh boost. This year's BTS tour is expected to be an unprecedented '1.5-year' long event, shaking up not just music but also tourism and hospitality. Let me, Ordinary Writer, gently guide you through this monumental wave.

1. The Era of 4 Million Attendees for BTS Tours: Results Beyond Imagination
BTS, the flagship group of HYBE, continues to wield immense power. The projected audience for this year's tour has already surpassed 4 million. The tour will adopt a '360-degree stadium' format, maximizing profitability by allowing fans to watch from all directions.
Experts predict that HYBE's operating profit will exceed the initial estimate of 450 billion KRW, reaching over 500 billion KRW. While the stock price currently hovers around 400,000 KRW, analysts suggest it has the potential to rise to 450,000 KRW. With BTS's strong IP still thriving, HYBE is transforming from a mere entertainment agency into a massive platform company.
2. The Next Decade Led by 'CORTIS' and 'Cats Eye'
You can set aside worries about who will follow BTS. HYBE's rookie group, 'CORTIS,' has sold 1.9 million albums within just six months of their debut, ranking them among the top four globally. This signifies the birth of a 'mega IP' that comes around once a decade.
Meanwhile, the girl group 'Cats Eye,' nurtured in the U.S., has rapidly risen to 21st on the Billboard charts and is even being discussed for Grammy nominations. HYBE shows an impressive track record of turning at least one of these teams into superstars, which will further solidify the entertainment cycle.
3. The Reflective Benefits of the Korea-Japan Regulations: A Warmth from China Towards Hotels and Casinos
The success of entertainment directly translates to the real economy. Recently, due to the 'Korea-Japan Regulations,' many Chinese tourists, previously headed for Japan, are now flocking to Korea. The occupancy rate of five-star hotels in Seoul is nearing 85% capacity.
If a BTS concert were to take place in Gwanghwamun, nearby accommodations would likely charge premium prices. The leisure sector, including hotels, casinos, and duty-free shops, is poised for record-breaking inbound demand from China this year, making it a crucial consideration alongside entertainment stocks.
4. YG's Comeback: Big Bang's 20th Anniversary and the Momentum of a Three-Member System
Not only HYBE but also YG Entertainment deserves attention. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Big Bang's debut and the 30th anniversary of YG's establishment. The return of Big Bang, led by G-Dragon, has been officially announced, with a powerful world tour expected featuring either three or four members.
The market has yet to fully reflect YG's comeback numbers in its performance. If the sustained activity of BLACKPINK coincides with Big Bang's return, YG will also play a significant role in the entertainment stock rally. The revival of this 'legend' will resonate with middle-aged investors, offering both empathy and profit opportunities.
