McGrath Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the duke and duchess of Sussex, made an announcement on January 8. “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members” of the royal family, they wrote on their official Instagram page. The couple said they plan to support themselves financially. They will lead lives separate from the royal family, splitting their time between the United Kingdom and North America. Many people were surprised by the announcement. No member of the British royal family has ever “stepped back” in this way. A royal’s job is to support charities and do other work that benefits the public. The duke and duchess said they will continue to “honor our duty” to Britain. But they plan to focus on their own charity. They also want privacy as they raise their son, Archie. Both say British newspapers have printed unfair stories about them. Stop and Think!

  • BTS, Digital Media, and Fan Culture
    19 Hyunshik Ju Sungkyul University, South Korea Premediating a Narrative of Growth: BTS, Digital Media, and Fan Culture This article explores the landscape of fan engagements with BTS, the South Korean idol group. It offers a new approach to studying digital participation in fan culture. Digital fan‐based activity is singled out as BTS’s peculiarity in K‐pop’s history. Grusin’s discussion of ‘premediation’ is used to describe an autopoietic system for the construction of futuristic reality through online communication between BTS and ARMY, as the fans are called. As such, the BTS’s live performance is experienced through ARMY’s premediation, imaging new identities of ARMY as well as BTS. The way that fans engage digitally with BTS’s live performance is motivated by a narrative of growth of BTS with and for ARMY. As an agent of BTS’s success, ARMY is crucial in driving new economic trajectories for performative products and their audiences, radically intervening in the shape and scope of BTS’s contribution to a global market economy. Hunshik Ju graduated with Doctor of Korean Literature from Sogang University in South Korea. He is currently a full‐time lecturer at the department of Korean Literature and Language, Sungkyul University. Keywords: BTS, digital media fan culture, liveness, premediation Introduction South Korean (hereafter Korean) idol group called Bulletproof Boy AScouts (hereafter BTS) delivered a speech at the launch of “Generation Unlimited,” United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) new youth agenda, at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 24, 2018. In his speech, BTS’s leader Kim Nam Jun (also known as “RM”) stressed the importance of self-love by stating that one must love oneself wholeheartedly regardless of the opinions and judgments of others.1 Such a message was not new to BTS fans, since the group’s songs usually raise concerns and reflections about young people’s personal growth.

Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] Valuation and recommendation Initiate coverage with Buy and TP of W340,000 We derived our target market value of W13tr for HYBE Corporation (HYBE; formerly Big Hit Entertainment) by applying a P/E of 60x to our 2021-22F average net profit attributa ble to owners of the parent (W218.6bn). Our target multiple stems from our view of HYBE as the leading fan platform provider (with direct and indirect access to top global artists). Post-IPO, HYBE has traded at between 27x and 45x P/E (20% premium to the upper band of the three major domestic entertainment stocks). In our view, a re-rating is due. The company has expanded its artist portfolio through partnerships with Universal Music Group (UMG)/YG Entertainment and its 100% acquisition of Ithaca Holdings. This should allow it to further strengthen the market position of its platforms. Value of fan platform s to come Weverse/Weverse Shop: Millennials/Gen Z -driven platforms poised for exponential growth in into view profits and users In our view, the emergence of direct-to-fan platforms was inevitable, given the new normal of contactless interactions and the distinct content power/strong fan engagement of music. (Music channels account for 40% of YouTube traffic.) HYBE has brought platforms and labels into its fold at lightning speed, creating a sizable lead over potential competition in terms of technology and content.
