Researcher Han Sang Woong: "January and February are slow months for digital sales because not a lot of artists release albums or do promotions."

Researcher Park Sung Ho: "Last year, BTS was a huge success and it brought enormous international profits for domestic artists, which led to increased stocks. The same growth can be expected for this year as well."

Anonymous researcher: "Seungri was already planned to enlist and most of the Bigbang members are in the army. Seungri wasn't an important factor to YG's profit in the first place. His scandal won't be a big hit to YG's fundamental." 

Anonymous researcher: "If the current accusations turn out to be true, people might lose their interest in Bigbang and it could damage the brand value of the agency. If the accusations are false, it could actually be a chance for a rally in stocks. It's too early to judge before the result of the ongoing investigation is out."
