South Korean mega-label Big Hit Entertainment are moving to an IPO with potential valuations of up to $5 billion for the BTS birthing company.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n

If you don’t know BTS then welcome out from the rock you’ve been hiding under! The South Korean boy band has taken the world by storm and have created a Beatles rivalling level of excitement in their fandom around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band are part of South Korea’s massive pop music culture which has become a major international export for the country. Big Hit Entertainment are a record label responsible for BTS and have found success with the booming pop music industry of South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Hit Entertainment are looking at an Independent Public Offering with stock firms reportedly valuing the label at up to $5 billion. A source speaking to Variety<\/a> told them: “We see a fair chance that Big Hit will go for an IPO at a valuation set between $2.5 billion and $3.3 billion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They continue: “The label’s performance in 2019, the popularity of BTS, and the price-earning ratio of local entertainment companies listed in the Korean stock market have been taken into account [to come up with the valuation]. The IPO will draw a lot of interest from both local and international investors, as the K-pop industry is currently at its best days and BTS is enjoying unprecedented success.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Financial Times, the company have chosen JPMorgan, NH Investment & Securities, and Korea Investment & Securities as the underwriters for their IPO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Hit Entertainment’s revenue doubled to a total of $494.6 million last year. If their growth is represented by the popularity of BTS alone then they are going to see even more incredible growth this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Big Hit plan to launch their IPO this year, they may be slowed down by Coronavirus. As BTS, their greatest asset, is such an international export it could have a major impact on their profits if the K-pop stars are limited in their travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
