[NEWS] YG Entertainment Falls Short On First Half Revenue But Is Expected To Recover This Second Half

YG Entertainment has fallen short from the expectations with their first half of the year result of their agency’s earnings. YG Entertainment has revealed their first half of the year report on the 30th of May and they have made 17.9 billion won in total sales and operating profit of 3 billion won with net profit of 3.6 billion won. Although the numbers are impressive it has fallen short compared to their numbers on the same period last year. Their earnings for the same period compared to last year fell 2.5% and 15.3% on their operating profit.

Nevertheless, YG Entertainment was able to rake more than 20 billion won for the first half which is huge but shows a huge gap in the market compared to SM Entertainment’s 38.4 billion won sales for the first half of this year. YG Entertainment seemed to have started the year a little slower but experts say the company will manage to recover for the second half.

Experts say for the second half, it will be big for YG Entertainment and they will rapidly recover. The YG Family Concert in Japan and Big Bang and 2ne1′s album sales in Japan will be reflected in the second half earnings as well as the upcoming Big Bang world tour, repacked album release and 2ne1′s comeback. Experts say that they are expecting more or less around 29.6 billion won in operating profit and 74 billion won in sales and revenue byt the second half.

[ARTICLE] 2NE1, BigBang, Wonder Girls, BEAST, and T-ara Plan to Make a Comeback During the Summer

Be prepared for an exciting summer, because all the big groups are planning on making a comeback during the summer. So far, the big groups include Big Bang, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, BEAST, and T-ara.

Big Bang and Wonder Girls will be both making a comeback on June 3.2NE1, BEAST, and T-ara are planning on coming back some time during late June and early July.

This news already has caught the attention of all major music companies since these groups usually take the top spot on music charts. These companies are now trying to gain more information on the concept and style of these groups’ new album.

2NE1 is planning on coming back in mid-June. During their last comeback, five songs from their album, “Don’t Cry” (Park Bom’s solo), “Lonely,” “I am the Best,“ “Hate You,” and “Ugly” took the top spots on the music chart right after they were released. Thus, there is a high possiblity that their upcoming comeback is going to give successful results.

BEAST, a group that is now one of the major idol groups in Korea, is planning on making a comeback in late June. One of their hit songs in their last album called, “On Rainy Days,” stayed on the top spot for a long time along with their other dance and ballad songs in the album.

Following BEAST and 2NE1 will be T-ara. T-ara is planning on coming back on July 7. Their last comeback consisted of the release of “Roly Poly” which is the song that was sold the most in 2011. They also released another hit song called, “Lovey Dovey” earlier this year. It has been announced that Jonte Monani, the person who created the choreography of “Single Ladies” by Beyonce, contributed to the making of the choreography of T-ara’s new song called “Day By Day.” In addition, T-ara now has eight members with a recent addition of the eighth member.

A representative from a music company commented, “In early June, Big Bang and Wonder Girls will be making their comebacks. In mid-June, 2NE1 is planning on making their comeback. In late June, BEAST is planning on making their comeback. In early July, T-ara is planning on making a comeback. With all these huge back-to-back comebacks during the summer, it will be definitely harder for the new idol groups to make their comebacks during the summer.”
