It is reported that HYBE has decided to sell the stock as it does not have a significant role in SM Entertainment’s management in light of the stock’s 20% rise this past month. The rise reportedly reflects the market’s anticipation that China would cease its anti-K-Pop policies. Currently, it has become much more difficult for K-Pop artists to promote in China.
