Hybe shares plunge as BTS comeback attendance undershoots forecast

TL;DR Summary
Hybe shares slid about 15% after BTS's Seoul comeback drew just over 100,000 fans—far below the 260,000 forecast—highlighting the group's outsized but vulnerable role in Hybe's revenue; the tour spans 79 shows across 23 countries and Netflix will stream it in 190 countries, potentially offsetting some live-audience shortfalls.
