💥 A Smashing Start to 2025
HYBE (352820) just hit a major milestone this Q1, reporting over 500 billion KRW in revenue despite the traditionally slow season for the entertainment industry. This marks their best Q1 performance ever, with a 39% increase compared to the same period last year. A truly impressive feat! 🚀

🌍 World Tours Fuel Major Growth
HYBE's growth was powered by their roster of global superstars — including BTS's J-Hope, SEVENTEEN, TXT, ENHYPEN, and BOYNEXTDOOR — all of whom went on world tours or solo tours this quarter. As more artists hit the stage internationally, their sales exploded. The massive success of these tours is evident in the huge jump in revenue.

🎤 Direct Revenue Soars
A significant chunk of this revenue came from direct participation channels, like album sales, live performances, and advertising, which accounted for 64% of total earnings. Concert-related revenue alone surged threefold, showing just how much fans are loving the live performances. 🔥 While album sales experienced a slight decline, the concerts more than made up for it with explosive ticket and merchandise sales.

👕 Merchandise Mania
Indirect revenue, from merchandise, licensing, and fanclubs, contributed 36% of the total sales. HYBE's licensing and merchandise segment saw a 75% increase, bringing in 1.06 billion KRW this quarter. Fans across the globe were eager to get their hands on tour-related merchandise and limited-edition items inspired by HYBE's music group IPs, including SEVENTEEN's "MiniTeen," TXT's "PPULBATU," LE SSERAFIM's "FIM'S CLUB," and BoyNextDoor's "BBNEXDO" The hype is real! 🎁

💪 Profit Gains to Match
HYBE didn't just grow their revenue — their operating profit jumped by 50% from last year, hitting 21.6 billion KRW. This surge in profitability is a testament to the power of HYBE's global reach and fanbase. 🌍💸
