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.
