K-netizens predict BTS will not renew their contracts and criticize HYBE for hoping to reduce their dependence on BTS

HYBE “BTS, we hope the dependence will gradually decrease… group activities are being discussed”

Lee Kyung Joon (CFO of HYBE) said, “We are currently discussing with the members about group activities in 2026. Although BTS is expected to bring in significant sales, the dependency on BTS’s sales will not be as high as before as that of new business, and the growth of other artists will also occur. Even through hard circumstances, the artists and employees achieved good results.”

1. BTS leaving HYBE, it’s the only way for HYBE to reduce their dependence on BTS

2. 2 years ago, 1 year ago, today, next year… They always say the same

3. Has HYBE renewed their contract with BTS?

4. I think that is a sign that the contract will not be renewed

5. If you want to reduce your dependence on BTS, you need NewJeans

6. It seems like the contract period is very short, BTS can only release an album after being discharged from the army?

7. Then let go of BTS

8. Just say BTS didn’t renew their contract

9. Are any BTS members leaving soon?

10. I hope all the singers leave HYBE safely and HYBE will collapse
