South Korea's Top K-pop Entertainment Stocks Fall 30-42% in H1 2026 as Capital Flows to Semiconductors

GateNews
Stocks
HYBE-3.40%
According to Korean Exchange data, major K-pop entertainment companies including HYBE, SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Entertainment saw significant stock declines in the first half of 2026, with shares falling 30-42% despite major artist comebacks. HYBE dropped 33.2%, SM fell 42.6%, JYP declined 30.2%, and YG slipped 39.2% year-to-date. Analysts attribute the weakness to initial BTS-related gains being priced in early, followed by investor capital shifting toward semiconductor and AI-related stocks. However, securities firms expect a turnaround in H2 2026 as concert revenues, album sales, and merchandise from BTS world tours, BIGBANG's comeback, Stray Kids activities, and other major artists are reflected in earnings.
