2025 OUTLOOK
QUESTION:
Fan-based Games vs Ordinary games: Which one are you leaning on to and what is the strategy for either?
KPOP games are not the foundations of the gaming division, it is part of music
Eventually, there will be a synergy as music consumption will change.
WHAT IS THE SHARE OF BTS’ EARNINGS TO THE TOTAL EARNINGS AND WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF BTS?
BTS used to account for 95% of the revenue but the company has grown. In 2024, with no concert and very limited activity, they accounted for 20%
BTS is the flagship company. They built HYBE and will have HYBE’s support regardless of what they want to do.
WHY IS THE OPERATING PROFIT DISAPPOINTING?
Upfront cost of investments
