Market View: The ins and the outs of the Kpop business

We're going to be talking all about K-POP today. Earlier this month, a company called Contents Technologies launched a new exchange traded fund focused on listed firms in Korea that benefits from the Kpop culture. Companies include big names such as HYBE - the agency behind South Korean boy band phenomenon BTS, SM Entertainment - who’s managing Girls Generation and YG Entertainment which is behind girl group BlackPink.
