Abstract

JYP Entertainment has made important contributions to the international influence of the Korean entertainment industry. In recent years, the Korean entertainment industry has become an important contributor to global cultural output. This article examines JYP’s asset valuation methods in the form of a case study. JYP’s valuation methods use market approach, income approach and cost approach. The cost approach provides a solid foundation for asset valuation, the income approach uses the discounted cash flow method to predict future cash flows, and the market approach uses valuation multiples to compare the value of an asset with the value of similar assets. The study shows that JYP maintains strong financial performance, a diverse artist lineup, and a “localized globalization” strategy. The company’s price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios exceed industry averages, indicating market confidence in its growth prospects. However, the company still faces many challenges including insufficient platform integration, increased competition, and over-reliance on artists. Overall, as long as JYP continues to innovate and maintain effective operations, it can increase the value of long-term assets and demonstrate its adaptability to the volatility of the entertainment capital market.
