In the long term, the firm is planning a fusion that will combine Latin music with K-pop's unique business structure that has already been proven to work in South Korea.
HYBE is also aware that the market size for Latin American music increased by 26.4% on year to $1.3 billion last year. This huge jump strengthened the BTS agency’s interest in entering this market.
