YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK ‘JUMP’ Tops Global YouTube Song Chart, Shares Rise by 7%
[이데일리=신하연 기자] YG Entertainment (122870) is showing strong growth with a 7% rise.
According to MP Doctor on the 21st, as of 9:38 am that day, YG Entertainment is trading at 91,000 won, up 7.18% from the previous trading day.
At the same time, YG PLUS (037270) is trading at 8,870 won, up 11.01% from the previous session. YG PLUS is responsible for planning and producing merchandise (MD), as well as music distribution for YG Entertainment’s artists.
It is interpreted that the strong investor sentiment is due to the success of BLACKPINK’s new full-group single released after 2 years and 10 months, which swept the top spots on major global YouTube charts during the comeback’s first week.
According to the latest chart (July 11-17) released by YouTube on the 20th, BLACKPINK’s ‘JUMP,’ released on July 11, ranked No. 1 on the Global YouTube Weekly Top Songs and Weekly Top Music Videos.
BLACKPINK is also carrying out a world tour with a total of 16 cities and 31 concerts. Starting from Goyang in Korea, they have successfully completed shows in Los Angeles and Chicago, and are set to meet fans at stadiums in major cities worldwide, including Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
In addition, with BABYMONSTER’s world tour and TREASURE’s album release scheduled for the third quarter, as well as BLACKPINK’s tour and album release planned by the first half of 2026, the securities industry remains optimistic about YG Entertainment’s annual performance this year.
Kim Min-young, a researcher at Meritz Securities, recently stated, “The consolidated revenue for 2025 is projected to increase by 54.7% year-on-year to 564.4 billion won, with an operating profit turning into the black at 72.9 billion won,” adding, “With MD sales entering a high-growth period alongside large-scale tours, steep performance growth is expected from the third quarter onward.”
