SM Entertainment's album sales figure in the second quarter of 2021 (April to June) is the highest among the four biggest agencies of K-pop.
HYBE (formerly called Big Hit Entertainment) is expected to earn a profit of 100 billion won if the company starts offline concerts of artists under Big Hit Labels.
Reseacher stated that comebacks of HYBE's artists such as BTS, SEVENTEEN, and more, will be a crucial factor in the improvement of earnings in the second quarter of 2021.
A Korean researcher said that the earnings of the "Big 4" labels—Big Hit Music, YG, SM, and JYP—could improve from the second quarter of this year.
