HYBE Shares Soar As BTS Nears Full-Group Reunion
Last Updated:
All the BTS members are expected to be discharged from the military this month, with HYBE making grand plans for its reunion.
The wait is not so far from the end! One of the most popular K-pop bands, BTS, is heading for a reunion, and fans can't be happier. With members V and RM already discharged from the military on Tuesday, others will also follow suit, prompting a fan frenzy. While the anticipation remains high, the members' return has also brought in several developments at HYBE, the record label managing BTS.
While HYBE continues to maintain a leading presence in the K-pop scene, BTS has been one of the biggest contributors to its building fame and profits. After the BTS members' self-declared hiatus from music due to their mandatory military services, HYBE is now preparing to make a grand return, with CEO Lee Jae Sang also offering fresh insights about their plans for BTS's group activities. Likewise, the developments have also impacted the company's stock position, which previously kept rallying over founder Bang Si Hyuk's alleged role in fraudulent trading.
HYBE Share Grows Amid BTS' Return
Ahead of BTS's group comeback, HYBE's share price stood at 284,500 KRW on June 5, strongly nearing its 1-year high of 292,500 KRW. The figures went even higher on June 9 as the BTS agency's stock was trading at 302,000 won, marking a 6 per cent rise since Thursday. There has been a consistent upward trend over the past few days. While HYBE closed at 272,000 won on June 2, the figures further surged by 4 per cent and 2 per cent on June 4 and 5. The sudden shift comes as no big shock, as BTS' impactful role in driving the company's business.
With such rising figures, HYBE's shares have gone up by 7.53 per cent in the last five days at the Korea Exchange. Analysts at Goldman Sachs have also upgraded HYBE Corporation stock to 'Buy," identifying a new growth opportunity for the company.
Investors in the industry remain optimistic, while others believe the group must re-evaluate its musical plans to strengthen the business. 'BTS has evolved into a global pop act, but in doing so, they've lost much of the raw, hip-hop energy that defined their early years. While their solo works retain strong messages, a reset of the group's musical identity may be needed for long-term success," an insider told Allkpop.

Siddhant Chaturvedi And Chae Soo Bin's Rainy Romance In Viral Ad Stuns Fans
Last Updated: Siddhant Chaturvedi and K-Drama star Chae Soo Bin feature in a romantic Crocs Japan ad, leaving fans stunned by their unexpected yet adorable chemistry. Watch now! In a year filled with cinematic surprises, one of the most delightful and unexpected collaborations of 2025 has just arrived—Bollywood star Siddhant Chaturvedi and Korean actress Chae Soo Bin sharing screen space in a newly released Crocs Japan commercial. The ad has taken the internet by storm, uniting desi film buffs and K-drama loyalists in shared excitement and awe over a crossover no one saw coming. The commercial is a heartwarming visual treat that feels straight out of a feel-good rom-com. It opens with Siddhant and Soo Bin crossing paths under a cloudy Tokyo sky. Their encounter starts with a misunderstanding—icy glares and awkward silence—but soon gives way to friendship as they stroll side by side in their Crocs. A playful rain shower sets the stage for a poetic connection, as their chemistry quietly unfolds, drenched in a shared moment of joy and surprise. The visual cues, the emotional beats, and the soft instrumental score have reminded many of iconic K-drama tropes with a dash of Bollywood soul. Clips from the ad have gone viral across platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok, with fans expressing their disbelief and amusement at the pairing. One user wrote, 'Siddhant Chaturvedi and Chae Soo Bin? My multiverse just broke!" Another quipped, 'An Indian actor, a Korean actress, a Japanese brand—this is what globalization truly looks like." Reels and reaction videos have been pouring in, with netizens making memes, romantic edits, and even imagining full-fledged dramas starring the two. While the commercial was created for Crocs Japan, its emotional universality and cross-cultural casting have struck a deeper chord with audiences globally, signaling a rising trend in pan-Asian collaborations. Industry insiders speculate that this could open doors for more cross-border ad campaigns and even film projects between India and South Korea, especially with the booming popularity of Korean content in India and vice versa. For Siddhant Chaturvedi, this project adds another global feather to his cap. The actor, known for his breakout in Gully Boy and subsequent performances in Gehraiyaan and Phone Bhoot, has consistently been exploring unconventional scripts and roles. He will next be seen in Dhadak 2, alongside Triptii Dimri, a film that has already stirred discussion due to its sensitive themes. He also has Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling in the pipeline, which co-stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaya Bachchan, promising an ensemble-driven emotional drama. Chae Soo Bin, on the other hand, continues to make waves after her gripping performance in Netflix's When The Phone Rings, a psychological thriller that became a smash hit in Korea and abroad. Despite criticisms over its abrupt and divisive ending, her portrayal earned acclaim, and this new international campaign cements her growing popularity beyond South Korean shores. What makes this collaboration particularly heartening is the lack of gimmickry. The chemistry between the two actors is sincere and organic. With minimal dialogue and strong non-verbal cues, the ad tells a universal story of connection—an ode to chance meetings, awkward beginnings, and moments that bloom into something unexpectedly beautiful. While there's no official word on any further collaboration between Siddhant and Soo Bin, fans have already begun demanding a full-length film or K-drama featuring the duo. 'Give them a movie already! I didn't know I needed this pairing until now!" read one fan comment. First Published:
