Hybe Co, the company behind K-pop sensation BTS, opened its first office in China last month, signalling renewed confidence in the market. Rival SM Entertainment Co. unveiled a strategic partnership with Tencent Music Entertainment Group to launch a Chinese idol group and deepen cooperation on music businesses in China. Last week, Tencent Music agreed to buy a nearly 10% stake in SM Entertainment for about US$180 million (5.8 billion baht), marking a rare Chinese investment into South Korea in recent years.
