YG Entertainment Stock Hits 15% Daily Limit after WINNER debut and news of LVMH Investment

SEOUL, Aug. 14 (Korea Bizwire) — Korea’s big-three talent agencies– SM Etertainment , YG Entertainment, and JYP  Entertainment–are competing hard in launching new idol groups. Of these, however, only YG Entertainment has seen its share price soar recently while others are languishing in the market.

According to financial investment sources on August 13, the top-three entertainment agencies have debuted new groups including the four-member girl group “Red Velvet” by SM Entertainment, the five-member boy band “Winner” by YG, and the seven-member boy group “Got7″ by JYP.

As the new groups are launched, market analysts are also keenly interested in whether the new talents could buoy up the stocks of the companies. Until now, it seems YG Entertainment has won the competition.

Although Winner debuted later than any other groups of the three agencies, it made the biggest impact on the share price. As soon as Winner’s debut album was announced at 12 midnight on August 12, its title song “Empty” was ranked No. 1 in nine domestic music charts, signaling the advent of a new force to reckon with.

With the news, the stock price of YG Entertainment jumped 6.57 percent to more than 40,000 won, the first time in 50 days. On the 13th, the company’s share price shot up 14.92 percent approaching the daily upper limit of 15 percent, thanks to the news of investment in the company by Louis Vuitton.

It was reported that L Capital Asia, the Asian private equity business sponsored by LVMH Moet Hennessy, is negotiating to invest in the Korean talent agency to the tune of 100 billion won.

In contrast, the stock price of SM Entertainment rose only 2.22 percent on the day of Red Velvet’s debut on August 4. In January when Got7 made a debut, the share price of JYP Entertainment was about 4,000 won, which has since stayed at almost the same level for more than seven months.

An analyst commented, “In light of the cases of BIG BANG and 2NE1, both of which were prepped by YG Entertainment, the market believes any new talent launched by YG is good with high potential for success. That’s because investors consider the human assets of YG as stable sources of income

Winner needs new stock photos

Not really surprised, this year has been YG's year, pretty much everything they have released has been a hit and the LVMH offer....who wouldn't invest after seeing that lol

Sad for JYP though, I want them to start picking up shares-wise :( Not even surprised Red Velvet made limited impact on SM's stocks, their debut felt really rushed and out of the blue IMO, as an investor I'd feel kind of iffy about what kinds of returns they might bring

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

but didn't SM investors say early this year they were gonna focus in china anyway?

Unf Mino! Awesome gif choices, OP.
... yeah that's all I care to comment on lol.

JYPE got better with management this year especially with the way they've been promoting Got7 but they need to do something with their marketing department/strategies so that they can get better sales. Better profits would attract investors.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I think they need to follow YG's suit and hire a whole new department of creative minds, but that's only because I feel like JYP is stagnating and their concepts are getting kind of old. I liked Yeeun's album but from her interviews, it's clear that that was 100% her and not the company

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same re: Yeeun. I kinda wish though that she had managed to do better with the album so JYPE could beg her for more of her own stuff. (Although I think her future releases will still be her.)

[21banged.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was definitely rooting for her, but I feel like a lot of the more solid albums always get overlooked in Korea / forever pressed that Seungri's VVIP flopped

I'm just worried that Yeeun's failure (for lack of a better word, I certainly don;t think she failed) might mean that JYP continues to keep a tight hand over production, and might be like "See, we told you so." Though I know that Yeeun is strong enough to fight for her music :)

JYP's stock price is only 4,000 won? lmao damn, but honestly I can't think of anything relevant that they have done in the last few years.

YG is a mess sometimes but I think they are very good at drawing in the demographic they target. I don't really like Winner's album but I like the whole theme of their debut.

I think SM is just trying to survive through the year lol. All of their bread and butter groups have been caught in scandals so they just used red velvet as a distraction. A 2% bump is probably just a bonus.

yasss get money

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

it's kind of amazing that with all the scandals that has hit sme they still managed a slight increase with red velvet's debut but jype's share price has remained stagnant for more than half a year, and it's such a low share price too :/

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Poor JYPE. They've done well this year so it sucks that the share prices don't reflect that.

[love-quake.livejournal.com]

poor jyp :(

get it yg!

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

jype :( it's not surprising tbh bc 2pm haven't done much this year and they're the big moneymakers. i've enjoyed all jyp comebacks this year - sunmi, yeeun, 15& (their album is so underrated), even got7's minis were decent. jype are like the underdogs of the big 3, i'm always rooting for them :').

go winner!!! tho yg spent so long promoting them pre-debut that i doubt they would have flopped. in comparison to the complete lack of hype/promo for red velvet idk what sm expect. when they decide to start giving a shit about them, i definitely think they'll be the next big thing.
