Kpop agency HYBE shares drop after boyband BTS comeback concert
[SEOUL] Shares of Kpop agency HYBE fell 14.5 per cent to a four-month low on Monday after a weaker-than-expected turnout at its boyband BTS’ comeback concert.
Shares traded down 14.5 per cent at 294,000 won as of 0210 GMT, their lowest since Dec 16, 2025. They will post the biggest percentage fall since June 15, 2022, if the loss holds.
Some 40,000 fans showed up at BTS’ first concert in more than three years on Saturday, far smaller than 260,000 expected. REUTERS
