Galaxy Corporation, an AI-based entertainment and technology company, has reported huge profits for the first half of 2025. The company earned 126 billion Korean won (about $90 million) in total sales, with an operating profit of 12 billion won ($8.6 million) and a net profit of 13 billion won ($9.3 million). This success is largely thanks to the activities of G-Dragon, one of its top artists, who released a new album and went on a world tour during this period. The company’s performance this year has far exceeded its results from 2024.
How Galaxy Corporation Performed Financially
In the first six months of 2025, Galaxy Corporation made more than three times the total sales it achieved in all of 2024. Last year, the company’s annual revenue was about 40 billion won, and sales had grown by 207% compared to the previous year. However, until 2024, the company had been reporting losses. This year, it has successfully turned a profit, showing how effective its business strategies have been.
The company credited this improvement to its focus on combining media, intellectual property (IP), commerce, and technology. Galaxy Corporation had been investing heavily in building a strong foundation for its IP and tech-related businesses, which initially led to financial losses. But in 2025, these investments started paying off, and the company began making money.
G-Dragon’s Role in the Company’s Success
G-Dragon played a big part in Galaxy Corporation’s financial success. In February 2025, he released his third full album, “Übermensch”, which was very popular. He also went on a world tour across Asia, performing in countries like Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The tour was a major success, with tickets selling out quickly. In some places, tickets for his media exhibitions were sold out within a month.
Besides his music, G-Dragon helped the company make money through other projects. One of these was a collaboration with a beverage company to create “PEACEMINUSONE Highball”, an alcoholic drink that sold over 10 million cans in 2025. This showed how influential G-Dragon is as an artist and how he can help a company make money in different ways.
Other Business Activities of Galaxy Corporation
While G-Dragon was a major reason for the company’s success, Galaxy Corporation was also involved in other projects. The company produced TV shows like “1 Night, 2 Days”, “Let’s Kick Together”, “Mr. Trot 3”, and “Physical 100 Season 2”. These shows were well-received and contributed to the company’s overall revenue.
Galaxy Corporation also focused on technology-driven projects. For example, it worked on a “space AI” music broadcast project that aims to send songs into space. It also collaborated with Microsoft to create an AI-powered music video. These projects highlight the company’s focus on combining entertainment with technology.
What’s Next for Galaxy Corporation?
Galaxy Corporation has plans to grow even more in the second half of 2025. The company will continue to support G-Dragon’s world tour, with encore performances expected in more countries. It has also signed new artists, such as actor Song Kang Ho and singer Kim Jong Kook, who are expected to contribute to the company’s future success.
The company is preparing to go public in 2026, with Daishin Securities and Shinhan Investment & Securities leading the process. This move will allow Galaxy Corporation to raise more money and expand its business even further.
Galaxy Corporation said, “G-Dragon’s world tour demonstrated his global influence and drove sales.”
The company’s strategy of combining entertainment with technology has proven to be successful, and it plans to continue innovating in this space. With strong artists and a focus on technology, Galaxy Corporation is well-positioned for future growth.
