HYBE aims to diversify its income by developing new artists and increasing its roster of lucrative acts, including TXT, SEVENTEEN, NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and others, with this move. They are also looking into other business models, such as NFTs, gaming, and webtoons, in order to diversify their revenue streams beyond just music. Besides the earnings call, updates on the members’ military service added to the hype.
With RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook now having passed the 60% mark on their compulsory military missions by November 4, 2024, this puts the seven-piece group on track to be together again sometime after June 2025.
