DAMN IZONE @ THE 200K MARK

[StyleStartSbenu]

People were doubting Stray Kids getting to 300K but it was Hana financial's analyst who made that prediction, and they're usually super accurate with their financial analysis' and they also are extremely conservative with their estimates as well. Whenever they try to predict JYPE's next quarter financials they always mention that they're being as conservative as possible, and they tend to be very close to reality. They're also the ones who first said that ITZY would be 5 members and also showed the group roadmap for debuts.

 

He estimates that JYP's Q4 2018 profits will be around 20B won, which if true will be by a good deal the largest quarterly profit for any of the big 3 as far as I know, and also says that even if all 6 of JYPE's new groups (stray kids, boy story, ITZY, young adult story, Jwice) flop (the most conservative estimate possible) that their operating profit will still reach 60B won annually by 2020.

 

Hopefully JYP will up the exposure and do more (tasteful) mediaplay for Stray Kids in 2019 to solve the issue of JYPE's boy groups' underwhelming Korean popularity (which has always confused me so much).
