YG Entertainment YG Entertainment (122870 KQ ) Profit contribution of content production business to be delayed Entertainment 1Q18 review: Earnings disappoint our expectations and the consensus For 1Q18, YG Entertainment reported consolidated revenue of W77.3bn (-27.7% YoY; Results Comment all growth figures hereafter are YoY) and operating profit of W2.3bn (-84.4%), missing May 14, 2018 consensus estimates (W88.1bn and W9.1bn, respectively) and our expectations (W87.3bn and W8.5bn, respectively). There had been bullish expectations on the quarter, due to the anticipated recognition of Big Bang’s last tour prior to the military enlistment of key members. However, the entertainment content production business (which posted a loss of W4bn in 4Q17) weighed on earnings , posting another loss of (Maintain) Trading Buy W3.8bn (versus our original expectation of breakeven). For Japan concerts, the company recognized revenue from Big Bang’ s dome tour (650,000 attendees) and a portion of iKON’s 2H17 tour (100,000 attendees). Concert Target Price (12M, W) ▼ 30,000 attendees fell by 15% (following a record quarter in 1Q17), resulting in a 30% decline in royalties; that said, the decline was broadly within expectations. Album revenue was Share Price (05/11/18, W) 27,350 also lackluster, aside from iKON’s new comeback album released in February (100,000 copies sold). Meanwhile, YG Entertainment appears to be maintaining a tight grip on the music streaming market, supported by new album releases by iKON (Febru ary) Expected Return 10% and WINNER (April) and a new single by Big Bang. Top line should shrink, but profitability should improve OP (18F, Wbn) 21 Revenue will inevitably decline from 2Q18, due to the void left by Big Bang. From 2014 Consensus OP (18F, Wbn) 27 to 2017, the group was responsible for 82%, 87%, 84%, and 70% of total concert attendees (based on Japan concerts), respectively, and 40%, 73%, 50%, and 48% of EPS Growth (18F, %) 4.6 domestic album sales, respectively. As we have emphasized before, the company’s transition to a new generation of artists—iKON, BLACKPINK, and WINNER—bears close Market EPS Growth (18F, %) 16.3 watching. The three groups, which are entering their fourth, third, and fifth years after P/E (18F, x) 28.1 their respective debuts, have lower profit sharing ratios than Big Bang (13 years ). As Market P/E (18F, x) 9.5 such, the growth of these groups is positive for profitability. KOSDAQ 865.93 We believe the three groups are basically doing well. iKON has two dome concerts (200,000 attendees) scheduled, which are similar to the group’s 2H17 concerts in size . Market Cap (Wbn) 497 BLACKPINK is about to embark on a bigger-than-expected Japan arena tour in July (s ix Shares Outstanding (mn) 20 performances, 66,000 attendees). WINNER, which wrapped up its Japan tour (11 performances, 80,000 attendees) in April, is now getting ready to launch an arena tour. Free Float (%) 62.7 We expect the three acts’ 2018 Japanese concert ticket sales to be around 37% of Big Foreign Ownership (%) 15.6 Bang’s 2017 figure (1.44mn). Beta (12M) 0.76 52-Week Low 24,850 Profit contribution of content production business to be delayed 52-Week High 36,150 While it is meaningful that YG Entertainment has finally launched its content production business, after working hard to recruit production talent, profit (%) 1M 6M 12M contribution looks likely to take longer than expected. During 4Q17 and 1Q18, in- Absolute -11.1 -9.7 -19.6 house-produced entertainment shows Mix Nine and Do the Right Thing were aired on JTBC (BLACKPINK House is a web-based show). Losses incurred during the two Relative -9.1 -24.9 -39.8 quarters totaled W8bn, close to the shows’ production budgets, which we attribute to the company’s unfavorable contract terms (being new to the business) and the shows’ 170 YG Entertainment KOSDAQ weak ratings. That said, two new series—iKON TV and YG Future Strategy Office , which 150 will air on the web and Netflix, respectively—are unlikely to generate significant losses , 130 given the nature of their platforms. 110 Maintain Trading Buy and lower TP to W30,000 90 We maintain our Trading Buy call on YG Entertainment and lower our target price by 70 6.3% to W30,000, based on 27x our 2018F EPS. Top-line contraction has now become a 5.17 9.17 1.18 5.18 reality. Looking ahead, the key points to watch are the expected improvement in margins, next-generation artist lineup, decline in subsidiary losses, and normalization in China. Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd.

    [Korea] Entertainment May 13, 2021 YG Entertainment Buy (122870 KQ ) (Maintain) Increasing content leverage TP: W56,000 Upside: 25.8% Mirae Asset Securities Co., Ltd. Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] 1Q21 review : Big earnings beat Consolidated revenue of W97bn (+83.9% YoY), OP of W9.5bn (turn to profit YoY) In 1Q21, YG Entertainment proved its enhanced fundamentals by overcoming the absence of offline performances/activities with the release of new content (Rosé and Treasure). Revenue from albums/digital content/goods was up 170.6% YoY, driven by strong sales of albums (980,000 copies; helped by new releases) and goods. Digital content revenue surged 125.6% YoY, boosted by BLACKPINK’s online concert (280,000 paid views and net revenue of around W8bn). Revenue from Google came in strong at W4.5bn (excluding BLACKPINK concert; vs. W2.5bn in 1Q20) on the back of new releases and subscriber growth. Despite constraints on artist activities, management revenue expanded 44.7% YoY, fueled by luxury advertisers’ (Dior, Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co.) strong preference for YG artists. Elsewhere, the company recorded W15.6bn from TV production (YG Studioplex’s Mr. Queen ) and a valuation gain of roughly W5bn related to Tencent Music Entertainment. Expectations on 2H21 artist Artist activities to gather steam; IP monetization to strengthen on Weverse incl usion activities and Weverse 1) Earnings: During the 2018-20 absence of its main artist group, YG Entertainment built a robust lineup that includes BLACKPINK, Treasure, and iKON. We expect robust ad and appearance income to continue, supported by the growing international profile of the company’s artists.

  • Diversity of K-Pop: a Focus on Race, Language, and Musical Genre
    DIVERSITY OF K-POP: A FOCUS ON RACE, LANGUAGE, AND MUSICAL GENRE Wonseok Lee A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2018 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2018 Wonseok Lee All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Since the end of the 1990s, Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu, has spread to the world. As the most significant part of Hallyu, Korean popular music, K-pop, captivates global audiences. From a typical K-pop artist, Psy, to a recent sensation of global popular music, BTS, K-pop enthusiasts all around the world prove that K-pop is an ongoing global cultural flow. Despite the fact that the term K-pop explicitly indicates a certain ethnicity and language, as K- pop expanded and became influential to the world, it developed distinct features that did not exist in it before. This thesis examines these distinct features of K-pop focusing on race, language, and musical genre: it reveals how K-pop groups today consist of non-Korean musicians, what makes K-pop groups consisting of all Korean musicians sing in non-Korean languages, what kind of diverse musical genres exists in the K-pop field with two case studies, and what these features mean in terms of the discourse of K-pop today. By looking at the diversity of K-pop, I emphasize that K-pop is not merely a dance- oriented musical genre sung by Koreans in the Korean language.

  • YG Entertainment (122870 KQ ) Global Platform Revenue Exhibits Strong Growth
    YG Entertainment (122870 KQ ) Global platform revenue exhibits strong growth 3Q18 review: Parent and YouTube both better than expected Entertainment For 3Q18, YG Entertainment reported consolidated revenue of W65.2bn (-13.3% YoY ) and operating profit of W2.6bn (+77.8% YoY). Operating profit fell short of our Results Comment estimate, which did not include content production losses (W1.7bn ). Still, we believe the company pe rformed in line with market expectations, considering the unfavorable November 12, 2018 earnings variables it faced in the quarter. Revenue from YouTube was also better than expected. Despite a widely anticipated void in concerts, Seungri, iKON, and BLACKPINK made great strides in the quarter. In particular, 1) BLACKPINK’s success drove robust digital (Maintain) Buy music revenue (W14.1bn; -11.3% YoY). 2) In addition, revenue from YouTube, a key area of focus, grew strongly to more than W3bn, likely exceeding the 1H18 total. Even after excluding one-time revenue from G-Dragon ’s documentary, YouTube revenue was Target Price (12M, W) 60,000 better than our expectation of W2bn. We believe domestic digital music sales, a relatively stable source of income, and global platform sales (YouTube ads, Apple Share Price (11/09/18, W) 36,200 Music/Spotify licensing, etc.), a fast-growing source of income, will both continue to make an increasing contribution to profits. Expected Return 66% 3) The content production business recorded a loss of W1.7bn (vs. loss of W10.1bn in 4Q17-2Q18), due to higher-than-expected fixed costs. Upcoming programs include YG Treasure Box and another new title for Netflix (NFLX US/CP: US$301.00).

  • YG Entertainment
    YG Entertainment (122870 KQ ) Uncertainties lie ahead Entertainment TP lowered to W32,000; positive expectations overshadowed by earnings void We are lowering our target price on YG Entertainment by 17% to W32,000 (based on Results Comment P/E of 25x). We reduced our 2018 net profit attributable to controlling interests forecast to W23.5bn, taking into account: 1) a higher effective tax rate (30% level); 2) February 23, 2018 early recognition of iKON concerts in 2017; and 3) won appreciation. The company had a hefty tax bill in 1Q18, which we believe was because only half of the limit on income deduction for services provided overseas was applied in the quarter, a factor that shou ld be reflected in future net profit forecasts. Given that royalties account for nearly 30% of consolidated revenue, we assume an effective tax rate in the 30% range (Downgrade) Trading Buy for 2018 onwards. Some potential opportunities still exist, including: 1) growth of the company’s lineup Target Price (12M, W) ▼ 32,000 outside of Big Bang; 2) new content ventures; and 3) normalization in China.
