Mirae Asset Securities researcher Park Jeong Yeop estimated that this year’s operating profit increased by 545.2% compared to the same period of the previous year to 39 billion won, as YG Entertainment’s key artists lined up their activities in earnest. Next year’s operating profit is expected to rise 179% compared to this year to 70 billion won.

Researcher Park analyzed that “fandom ARPU (average sales per subscriber) will show a steep rise following membership sales.”

However, it was diagnosed that “there is a variability in quarterly earnings according to the artist’s schedule, and there is a possibility that the loss related to the subsidiary production ‘Joseon Exorcist’ will be reflected.”
