[Media] Jeong-yeob Park +822-3774-1652 jay.park@miraeasset.com KOSDAQ 7 11.17 3.18 7.18 11.18 BLACKPINK beats out BTS in November YouTube views BLACKPINK and BTS are currently the two biggest K-pop acts on the global music scene. BTS is once again demonstrating its global influence through its 2-city world tour (from August 218 to April 219), with concert tickets reselling (unofficially) for up to millions of won and long lines of fans camping outside concert venues. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK has built a huge fan base online, with the group s YouTube channel attracting 15.3mn subscribers as of December 5 th (a threefold increase from 5.3mn at end-217, and 81% of BigHit Entertainment s 19mn subscribers). According to market data, BLACKPINK s YouTube channel was viewed 37mn times in November, beating out BTS (BigHit Entertainment and Bangtan TV), which had 21mn views during the month. The number was also higher than the level seen during the height of the group s mega hit DDU-DU DDU-DU (average of 34mn views in June- July). What s even more encouraging is that the strong traffic does not appear to be driven solely by Jennie s new song ( SOLO ). Amid an overall increase in YouTube users, we believe s growing content library combined with frequent uploads and the rising influence of various versions of content is driving the huge number of views. We thus believe traffic growth is sustainable and structural. Of note, SOLO (November) has already been viewed 1mn times, compared with 52mn times for DDU-DU DDU-DU (June). Expectations through 219 remain low, but potential catalysts are growing It is widely anticipated that Big Bang s absence will lead to an earnings void through 219. While expectations have been lowered as a result, we see an increasing number of potential catalysts that could drive a gradual upgrade in earnings estimates: 1) As the company s resources and fan bases shift toward its next-generation artists, their activities are rapidly expanding. Both WINNER and ikon have remained busy after wrapping up their Asia tours in November. WINNER is scheduled to go on a seven-city North American tour in January (followed by a Japanese tour), while ikon is set to perform two dome concerts in Japan and release a repackaged version of their album Love Scenario at the end of the year (followed by a Japanese tour). Meanwhile, BLACKPINK will hold a dome concert in Japan at the end of the year and a sevencountry tour in Asia from January to March, followed by another stop in North America. Group member Rose is also getting ready for a solo debut, and a second group album is in the works. 2) A new boy group will debut in 1H19 as part of the company s show, YG Treasure Box. Three of the show s 1 episodes have aired so far, and have been viewed 26mn times on V LIVE and YouTube combined. The show has been more popular in Japan and Southeast Asia than in Korea, and the winning group is likely to include a Japanese member. Of note, we believe the company has already recovered most of the show s production costs by taking advantage of its multi-platform format. This change in profit structure is particularly meaningful, given that content production losses totaled W9.6bn over the past four quarters. Benefiting from new media We maintain our Buy rating and target price of W6, on. Given K- pop s growing status and the increasing value of music video content, we believe Korean entertainment firms overall will benefit from the rise of new media. Among them, we think has gained the most traction. The company is continuing to demonstrate strong YouTube traffic growth, led by BLACKPINK. Ad rates also have strong upside potential (more than double), considering the company s favorable position in talks regarding the establishment of Music & Creative Partners Asia (MCPA; a Korean version of VEVO), and potential geographical mix improvements (increased exposure to the US).
