J-Hope and Jin Drive HYBE's Revenue Growth After Military Service
HYBE, a K-pop company, saw a financial boost thanks to BTS members J-Hope and Jin.
They both completed their military service and launched successful solo projects, including tours and new music releases.
J-Hope's tour sold a large number of tickets and Jin's music performed well.
Because of this, HYBE's income increased significantly.
Additionally, when the remaining BTS members returned from military service, the fan platform, Weverse, gained many new users.
J-Hope and Jin's solo activities, following military service, boosted HYBE's second-quarter revenue.
HYBE's second-quarter revenue increased 10.2% year-over-year, with operating profit nearly 30%.
J-Hope's 'Hope On The Stage' tour sold nearly half a million tickets across 33 shows.
Jin's EP, 'Echo', reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Weverse platform saw record engagement with 12 million monthly users after member returns.
