Hybe Drops SM Entertainment: What Does This Mean for K-pop?

It seems as if the war for control over SM Entertainment is over. But is it really? Over the weekend, Hybe and Kakao had a serious discussion over their spending battle to purchase enough shares to control the fate of the founding entertainment agency of K-pop. With more money in the bank, Kakao Entertainment emerged the winner. The consolation prize? Platform technology coordination for Hybe. But can we really rest easy that another twist in this real-life K-drama saga won’t turn up at the last minute?

Who’s Gonna Win Big? Hybe and Kakao Founders Meet in the US 🤔

Whoever wins control over SM Entertainment may find their celebrations short-lived. How much dysfunctional baggage will come with the decades of internal drama at the K-pop powerhouse? Though an eventual merger with Hybe could make the home of BTS one of the most powerful music labels on the planet, gaining SM through a hostile takeover could come with the winner’s curse. On the other hand, will Kakao destroy the music legend or allow it to run with independence as both Hybe and Kakao have promised in their ‘marriage proposals’? I’d rather protect Hybe from marrying into a dysfunctional family. But you be the judge!
