HYBE expands global operations with new label services chief

K-pop giant HYBE is bolstering its international presence by appointing Juan Arenas to lead a newly consolidated global division. The task of this division, President Arenas, will involve harmonizing distribution, marketing, and artist promotion across all HYBE's international subsidiaries. Arenas, formerly HYBE America's chief intellectual property officer, will oversee global distribution practices, manage supply chains, and liaise with regional distributors and platforms.

This latest organizational overhaul aligns with HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk's "multi-home, multi-genre" strategy, aiming to fortify infrastructure within the major music market.
