It has been reported that Chairman Bang Si-hyuk's stock wealth increased by 515.5 billion won in the first quarter of this year.
On the 9th, the Korea CXO Research Institute, which specializes in corporate analysis, announced that it surveyed the changes in stock valuation for 43 group heads with stock valuations exceeding 100 billion won as of the end of March.
The stock valuation was calculated based on the closing prices on January 2 and March 31.
According to the report, Chairman Bang's stock wealth increased from 2.5816 trillion won to 3.3971 trillion won, a rise of 515.5 billion won (20.0%) over three months, marking the largest increase among the heads of 43 groups in South Korea.
It is estimated that the sharp rise in HYBE's stock price was significantly influenced by the anticipation of the return of the group BTS.
BTS has been on a hiatus since December 2022. Except for Jin and J-Hope, who have completed their military service, RM, Suga, V, Jimin, and Jungkook are currently fulfilling their military duties, and all members will return to civilian status in June.
