Formed in 2005 as "Big Hit Entertainment" (and rebranded in 2021), Hybe is the record label behind popular K-pop boy band BTS.
The company floated in October 2020 on South Korea’s KOSPI. Demand for Hybe’s stock was high among retail and institutional investors alike. In fact, some 1,420 institutional investors wanted pre-subscription access to Big Hit’s IPO, amounting to 1,117 times the subscription amount allotted to institutional investors. The stock opened at 270,000 won (USD$235) and saw a surge in price on its first day. This was followed by a second-day drop, but nonetheless, it was enough to make the seven members of BTS multimillionaires.
Since going public, Hybe has been acquiring other labels and in 2023 launched a Latin music division.
How to buy shares in Hybe
Unfortunately, shares aren't available on UK exchanges, and so far we haven't heard anything suggesting the company is planning a US IPO. You can still buy Hybe stocks from the UK, but you'll need an international brokerage account. That might sound fiddly, but in fact most mainstream trading apps now support investing in foreign stocks.
Compare share trading platforms. If you're a beginner, look for a platform with low commissions, expert ratings and investment tools to track your portfolio. Narrow down top brands with our comparison table.
Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, like your ID and bank information. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
Search for Hybe. Find the stock by name or ticker symbol. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment against your financial goals.
Purchase now or later. Buy immediately with a market order or use a limit order to delay your purchase until Hybe reaches your desired price. To spread out your purchase, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying at consistent intervals and amounts.
Decide on how many to buy. Weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimise risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy a fractional share of Big Hit Entertainment, depending on your broker.
Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of Hybe. Optimise your portfolio by tracking how your stock — and even the business — performs with an eye on the long term. You may be eligible for dividends and shareholder voting rights on directors and management that can affect your stock.

Forward annual dividend yield: 0.07% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 15.92% of net profits
Hybe has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.07% of its share value annually.
Hybe has paid out, on average, around 15.92% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.07% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.07% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hybe's case, that would currently equate to about 200 per share.
While Hybe's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Hybe's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
Sony Group Corporation (SNE.US): 0.44% (0.44% forward annual dividend yield)
Hybe's address is: 42 Hangang-daero, Seoul, South Korea
