1. [+351, -5] He blew 2 trillion won and still has 2 trillion won left, he's on another playing field from the rest of them

2. [+145, -8] Even after decreasing 2 trillion won, Hybe is multiples ahead of the three other entertainment companies combined

3. [+130, -4] Is YG closing shop...;;??

4. [+67, -17] JYP has been sticking to just the music industry.. and I wish him all the success for it

5. [+55, -14] The ones who stay within the lines are the ones who win out in the end

6. [+9, -0] Either way, they're all below BTS ㅋ

7. [+9, -1] The issue with JYP is they only produce music aimed for little kids, and all of their singers end up with no money by the end of their careers. With SM, all of their artists end up rich. JYP lacks the ability to turn popularity into cash. Only the ones who left JYP ended up rich like Rain, Sunmi, Jay Park, and Hyuna.

8. [+8, -2] What is Hybe without BTS other than a tiger without fangs? The valuation would be more accurate at somewhere below a trillion.

9. [+6, -0] If THAAD hadn't cut Korea off from China in 2016, I bet Chinese capital would've taken over the whole Korean entertainment industry and things would be a mess right now...

10. [+5, -0] Hybe has sure made a lot off of BTS... it is quite amazing

11. [+7, -3] Park Jin Young's probably the most music-focused out of the four, and probably the most innocent

12. [+5, -1] Even the other three combined don't even come halfway to Bang Shi Hyuk

13. [+4, -0] I don't care who is valued at the highest, I'd rather place importance on which CEO trains the most wholesome and normal idols~

14. [+6, -3] People thought Hybe would go under without BTS until they debuted New Jeans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

15. [+2, -1] Even without BTS, Hybe has had successful debuts with New Jeans and Le Sserafim who are on the up and up. Treasure and MIXX are total flop-dols right now, so of course there's a huge difference in numbers like this...
