SEOUL, March 23 (Reuters) - Shares of Kpop agency HYBE 352820.KS fell 14.5% to a four-month low on Monday after a weaker-than-expected turnout at its boyband BTS' comeback concert. Shares traded down 14.5% at 294,000 won as of 0210 GMT, their lowest since December 16, 2025. They will post the biggest percentage fall since June 15, 2022, if the loss holds. Some 40,000 fans showed up at BTS' first concert in more than three years on Saturday, far smaller than 260,000 expected.
