1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to Trilliance. I'm Joel Weber and I'm Eric bel Tunis.

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about today's episode. Eric, Uh, and you

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: were the one that actually flagged it, and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is gonna be amazing. So, uh,

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about K pop today. Yeah. Um, I'm

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: a sucker for themes. I find them interesting. Um. And

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: we've done like three or four in a row that

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: we're pretty pretty meaty. Um. You know, inflation, just really

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: topical stuff that was very practical. And so I had

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: I've been eyeing this e t F with the ticker

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: k pop since it was filed, and then it launched.

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: And when I read the article that Isabelle Lee wrote

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: about it and found out that it was a twentysomething

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: young man who had the idea launched the e t

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: F and was like some K pop expert, Um, I like,

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: I like these et F story is this is the

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: sort of independent spirit of ETFs. You know, it's a

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: tough market, but people, um, you know, keep trying with

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: ideas and usually if you see a filing, a lot

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: of times you pull the thread on it and there's

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: like a somebody who can really make a strong fundamental case,

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: even if the initial reaction is oh, really, is this

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: really an investment a vehicle? Um? And I find that

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: to be true over and over. So I really just

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: wanted to dig into the story. I also wanted to

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: find out the numbers behind K pop. I mean, I

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I feel old when I

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: went to one of the videos. It doesn't make sense

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: to me. Um, you know, I'm driving around listening to

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: r M and Nirvana is still like, UM, I want

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: to get I don't want to be the old guy

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: who doesn't know about this, you know, huge area apparently,

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to explore K pop secretly as well.

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Isabella Lee, who wrote that story for

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg News. She's a cross Asset reporter, as well as

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: Jean Wan Lee, who's the brain behind the GTM K

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Pop There's Time on Brilliants k Pop. Jean one is

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: about welcome to trillions. Hi, thanks for having us, Thanks

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: for having us. Okay, is well, I wanted to start

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: with you. How did K pop come to your attention? Honestly?

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: On Twitter, I was just grolling and I probably saw

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: one of the Bloomberg guys. It could be Eric or Henry,

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't even remember anymore. And it was about a

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: K pop e t F and it was fun, it

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: was punchy, it was catchy. We you know, we write

46
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things in Bloomberg for many reasons, and

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: we thought that regal traders and just twitter verse would

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: like this because at that time, this was in April.

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: If approved, this K pop e t F would be

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: the first in Europe or US that would be investing

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: in firms benefiting from K pop music. So we were like,

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: this is exciting. And to Eric's point earlier, my generation

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: my friends are crazy about K pop and I actually

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: was personally a bit excited writing it because I thought

55
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: my friends would be so jealous, they'd be so happy

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: to hear about this K pop and my friends who

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: aren't even investing, I was kind of sure they would

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: best just because of this K pop ETF. So that

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: was fun. And then I wrote a follow up story

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: four months after um when the fund lodge and I

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: got to speak with jan One also, so that was

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: cool and I'm sure he can tell you more about

63
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the e t F. Okay, Janue, I want to hear

64
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: where this idea came from, because you know Eric's Eric

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: has never pitched an R E M E T F

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you that it probably would

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: not go over well. But what did you see in

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: in K pop that made you want to connect these dots?

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: My premise um that K pop fans may also want

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: to invest in KP pop. I don't think this is

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: a new idea in the investment world, because, for example,

72
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: many test Light owners are also investors in Tesla stock UM,

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: and people tend to want to invest in what they

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: consume and believe in. The same could be set for

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett, who enjoys McDonald's and Coke on a daily basis.

76
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: To my knowledge, UM, SO Korean media entertainment industry has

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: been growing very robustly, and we believe that this is

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: still in its early innings, given that we're witnessing an

79
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: inflection point in K pop, and we see squid Gain,

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: we see Parasite, we see black Pink, we see bts.

81
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: These K content K Entertainment UM Korean entertainment are gradually

82
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: attaining mainstream game status UM globally from what was more

83
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: a subculture in the past. So k pop BTFUM is

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: the first of its kind, and it's it's the first

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: vehicle that allows global investors to have exposure into K

86
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: pop as an industry, as and as an investment theme.

87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: While in the past, since all the companies listed companies

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: within the Korean entertainment and media sector are all listed

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: in Korean Exchange and therefore global investors had no way

90
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: to gain exposure into. Before we get into how the

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: e t F tries to capture the K pop factor,

92
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: if you will, UM, just let's go over the numbers.

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I remember reading an Isabelle's article I'll throw it to you,

94
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: isabel because you wrote it. I'm not sure if you've

95
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: got the numbers from Jangue, but the numbers were ridiculous,

96
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Like it was. Some of the comparisons blew me away.

97
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: It reminded me of when I dug into the video

98
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: game industry about seven eight years ago, and it's like

99
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: bigger than movies and music combined or something, and I

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: was like, Holy moly. And at the time people were

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: kind of laughing off the video game et F. But

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: I I wanted to do a taste test where I

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: took the name out and just put the numbers of

104
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: the industry of robotics, cannabis, and video games and asked

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: someone to pick what was the best investment, and they're

106
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna pick video games, but then you show them the

107
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: name and they're like, oh, I don't want to invest

108
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: in that. I felt the similar vibe when I read

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: the article what was give me some of the numbers

110
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: that that talked about how big k pop is. I

111
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: think South Korean music really game popularity in when this

112
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: big YouTube hit called Gangam Style entered mainstream consciousness, and

113
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: ever since then it just became even more popular. So

114
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: for instance, in February, BTS was named I think the

115
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: global Recording Artist of the Year and they even beat

116
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift in Adele and a girl group called Black

117
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Pink also became the first musical artist to hit a

118
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: certain molestone in YouTube I think seventy five million subscriber

119
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: mark and it they'd beat Justin Bieber. And on our

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: side of the world, this sounds surprising because these are

121
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: really big names. But then on the other side, you know,

122
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: something bigger might even be happening. I will say this,

123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: I just the fact that Justin Bieber has something like

124
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: million whatever is still surprising for a gen X or

125
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: like me, But your point is well taken, Chenguan, do

126
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: you have anything with dollars and cents for the industry?

127
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: So on Spotify, the most streamed music group isn't Beatles,

128
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: it is in Nirvana, it's not bon Jovi. It's actually

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: BTS with over sixteen point three billion streams and they

130
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: also hold who whoa whoa whoa hold on a second

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: six team point three billion billion. It's not millionaire, that's like,

132
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: holy mo, that's three that's three times more or at

133
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: least double the amount of people on earth. Joel, Joel,

134
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: have you have you ever streamed a BTS song? I have. Um.

135
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm blown away by how just viral the group is.

136
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Um And if you haven't never seen them, I mean

137
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: it's basically a boy band, and they took boy bands

138
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: to like a whole another level. Whatever you thought of

139
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: the Beatles or back Street Boys at a certain era,

140
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: Like it is insane how much more popular they are.

141
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: But what's crazy to me, though, is you know what

142
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: that BTS phenomenon. It's almost like it was the tip

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: of the spear and you've seen so much more. I

144
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: guess the gang style was the tip of the beer.

145
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: But what we're seeing is this robust industry and Janue

146
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: So I want to bring that back to you because

147
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: when you when you put together UM the ET you

148
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: there was an index that you also had to create.

149
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: How did you go about figuring out what to include

150
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: in that index and what to exclude so that you

151
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: could actually like have an investment thesis that could work

152
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: in practice. So how to define whether a company UM

153
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: is a K pop or Create an enter entertainment company.

154
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Usually UM et s take UM a revenue based approach,

155
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: where if if a certain theme generates or of that

156
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: company's revenue, then UM that company is automamatically placed within

157
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: the team UM. But but for K pop and Create Entertainment,

158
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: these revenues are difficult to meet out from a lot

159
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: of noisy data UM and and and for us, what

160
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: we did was essentially pinpoint a company that's clearly a

161
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: K pop company, and it's indubitably a K pop company.

162
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: For in sense UM the management company, the record company

163
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: behind BTS now that's indubitably a K pop company. And

164
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: what we would do is we would essentially pull some

165
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: of the major keywords of these undoubtedly K pop companies

166
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: and we compared to other companies within the industry, and

167
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: if we figure out a certain level of similarity and

168
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: if if if the companies meet that standard, then we

169
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: we we we call that company our target and our

170
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: theme UM within the within the whole k pop UM

171
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: or create entertainment definition. And so I'm looking at the

172
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: holdings here, j YP Entertainment, h y b E cow

173
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: I I. You know, I obviously these are all pretty

174
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: foreign to me UM, but that's probably good it because

175
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: there are companies that are involved in this niche space UM,

176
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't know it. Surprising to me is that

177
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: they're even publicly traded. Yeah, I guess how much if

178
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: you were to say, okay, you've got you know, thirty

179
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: two holdings, he's a waiting, what percent of that weight

180
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: is directly linked to like K pop sales? And how

181
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: did you try to capture that? So s of our

182
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: constituents are Korean media entertainment companies UM, like the BPS Company,

183
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: Black Pink Company, and so forth. UM. The other twenty

184
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: to thirty companies are UM tech infrastructure companies, companies that

185
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: are comfortable to uh the Apple Music, the Spotify of Korea,

186
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: so They basically provide UH the infrastructure for music and

187
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: content to prosper and and be distributed. So essentially our

188
00:10:53,679 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: thirty constituents cover UM music companies, UM To, drama company Niece,

189
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: and movie companies that that have used UM amy winning

190
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: series squid Game and UH and and and masterpiece Parasite

191
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: UM which which which also won a number of hop

192
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: Awords UM last year. So UM they really do cover

193
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: the old breadth of of Korean content. UM. That's that's

194
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: going global. It's interesting. I'm looking at the name of

195
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: the fund, it's k pop and Korean Entertainment. So I

196
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: guess my guess is maybe the SEC work with you

197
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: to expand the name a little so it was a

198
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: little more accurate because some of the companies are Korey entertainment.

199
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: But to your point, I have seen squid Game and

200
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: I have seen Parasite. They're both masterpieces in my opinion,

201
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: and I've actually dabbled into some other South Korean stuff

202
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: just because it seems to be so good. You know.

203
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: We I we talked about Nirvana earlier. There was clearly

204
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: something happening in Seattle when in the early nineties right

205
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: there was it was an explosion of like entertainment value.

206
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: It seems like Korea is in that like in that

207
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: spot like where they're just something's happening there, Like why

208
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: why is all this art, both music and movies and

209
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: TV shows? How is it all being produced out of

210
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: such a small place? Is it feeding off each other?

211
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: Like is there some kind of I don't know, like

212
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: a scene there. Like I'm just trying to figure this

213
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: out a little bit, because you're right, um, there's definitely

214
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on quote in the Korean

215
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: entertainment area. So this is more my personal view than

216
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: um than a studied hormal response. UM. But personally I

217
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: think um UM. We can look at two main factors

218
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: why create entertainment is seemingly suddenly booming. Number one, Korean

219
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: domestic market for music is actually not small. One would

220
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: consider from a global standpoint, Korea to be a relatively

221
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: small UM country that's um not generally well known globally,

222
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: but it is uh even domestically without excluding all the

223
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: exports um, all the k pop um sales um that

224
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: are being made on Spotify, excluding all that, just just

225
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: putting into perspective the domestic sales domestic market size UM

226
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: for music for your ranks number six in the world.

227
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: It's behind UH, the US, Japan, UM, UK, France and Germany.

228
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: And then it's it's Korea. It's it's larger than China.

229
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: UM to to the state, it's larger than UH, Brazil

230
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: or other countries. UM. So domestically, UM Korea does have

231
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: a big enough of a a local market that would

232
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: be a good foundation for for a lot of content,

233
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: a lot of talent to prosper. So that's number one UM.

234
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: And simultaneously UM, I believe that UM Korean market, while

235
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: it's quite big, it's not big enough UM. Let's say

236
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: UM compared to Japan, which is number two in the

237
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: world to hold local companies satisfied UM with the kind

238
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: of market size they can see within the country. So basically, UM,

239
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: if you were a Japanese music company, if you're a

240
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: US based record label, UM, you would be happy with

241
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: with taking a bigger market share in your respective markets

242
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: in your respective languages. But for the top K pop

243
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: companies in Korea, UM, while the market size isn't small,

244
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: it's not big enough for for for these companies to

245
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: to be sufficiently growing consistently. So UM these companies have

246
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: been continuously looking for overseas growth, global growth, rather than

247
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: UM staying within the borders and being being happy. UM.

248
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: They kept on knocking doors in Japan, in Southeast Asia, UM,

249
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: in in Latin America, in the US, UM and in

250
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: Europe and so forth. Then they've been doing this for

251
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: the last ten fifteen years. And you see the numbers

252
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: that are popping up. UM. It seems like sudden um

253
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: events out of nowhere, but it's an accumulated effort of

254
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: time and energy that has been UH continuously skewing out

255
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: of this small country in the last decade. That's a

256
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: great point. And you know, Eric, when you said earlier

257
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: that you've never heard of these companies, I haven't. Also

258
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: in a way, I just thought they're familiar because of

259
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: my friends. But then when I looked at the market cap,

260
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: they're almost as big as Apple, like hi, And I'm

261
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong. I think it's even bigger.

262
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Um j YP is just a million. When I say bigger,

263
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: it's three billion dollars and j YP is like a

264
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: billion dollars. So these are huge, And to me, it's

265
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: just really reinforced that the world is so big and

266
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: that sometimes UM, because I report in the US market.

267
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: I just really look at the US market. But then

268
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,239
Speaker 1: there's just a fast world out there with huge companies

269
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: with huge potential. Probably right Hid and now is UM

270
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: in in its for five billion dollar range. To my knowledge,

271
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: Warner Music is at around seventeen billion last year. That

272
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: difference UM was much smaller when HI was up to

273
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen billion dollars. So these are not small companies.

274
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: The market taps are comparable to some of the top

275
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: music companies globally. UM. So you launched at a tough time.

276
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: This has been a brutal year. The fund immediately went

277
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: down UM, but South Korea is down the country as

278
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: a whole, Like, you have this theme. I've seen other

279
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: issuers deal with this. You have a theme, it's gonna

280
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: have a little more volatile than the sort of benchmark.

281
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: So E W Y would be the benchmark ticker there.

282
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: That's the South Korea I SHARE's E T F UM.

283
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, how do you market this thing in that environment?

284
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's difficult. How is that going? How are

285
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: you getting the story out and overcoming sort of the

286
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: rougher environment for really all E T s, But especially themes.

287
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we're in the business of of timing

288
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: market peaks and UM trows were truly long term believers

289
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: in the prospect of Korean businesses with exposure to K

290
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: pop and K entertainment growth. And these are businesses with

291
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: proven and sustainable I P s and business models and

292
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: our long term beneficiaries of Korean music and content UM,

293
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: which is capturing UH disproportionate share of the global growth.

294
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: So UM, like you mentioned, it's it's been a tough

295
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: few weeks across all asset classes since K pop ETFs

296
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: inception on September one, UM, but we do believe that

297
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: content consumption, especially digital content consumption, which a lot of

298
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: K pop or create entertainment is based on, is relatively

299
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: resilient across UH difficult and and recessionary environments UM and

300
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: and and and and and basically they're longer term trends.

301
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: So we ultimately believe that the underlying performance of the

302
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: company's in our a E t F will provide further

303
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: momentum in attracting demand from from a wider global investor universe.

304
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: So so we are UM doing all the interviews. UM,

305
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: we are doing what we can um within this market,

306
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: but in the end um I strongly believe that this

307
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: is not a a one one hit wonder, It's not

308
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: a it's not an event, but it's a trend that

309
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: will stick. So the fundamental um growth of K pop

310
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: as a as a as a phenomenon and as a

311
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: trend will be the long term momentum hopefully um for

312
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: for our e t F. I've noticed that mattic et

313
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: s to X point earlier are really booming, but then

314
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: they've become a lot narrower, I think, although more creative

315
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: as time passes by. What do you make of that

316
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: young one? And like, who are you targeting? I don't

317
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: know to my head there it's a very specific. It's

318
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: like K pop fans who believe in the firms. Is

319
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: that the good question? Are you going to like advisors

320
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: who manage money and you're trying to sell k pop

321
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: where you're going to like k pop mega fans and

322
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: explaining this is how you can invest in it? Well? Um,

323
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: To be clear, we we we we We don't just

324
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: believe that this will appeal only to these K pop

325
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: mega fans. We also believe that there are clear investment

326
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: merits and rationale for obtaining exposure to Korean media and

327
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: a human industry purely from an investment perspective and and

328
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: therefore ke pop etf is designed not only for global

329
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: fans but also institutional and retail investors around the world.

330
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: So UM we do believe that we do believe that

331
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: this is an independently investment worthy thesis UM and these

332
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: K pop stops from from a a long term standpoint,

333
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 1: have been moving in such a direction. UM companies like

334
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: j I p Um, which have some of the top

335
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: girl groups um UM globally UM they've grown UM substantially

336
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: more than thirty x in the last UM five to

337
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: ten years. So these are companies that have shown continued

338
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: growth UM in both their UM numbers and and their

339
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: in terms of their share price. So it's an independently

340
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: UH reasonable and attractive investment thesism. However, UM initially our

341
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: target is more towards the K pop fans, who we

342
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: believe don't just want to consume the content, but I

343
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: want to own UM part of that growth. So for

344
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: now we're not going to institutional investors and and pitching

345
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: the idea UM. We're much more focused on getting this

346
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: idea out so that people know that we exist, that

347
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: there is an exposure for them, the ability to gain

348
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: an exposure into into k as A as as A

349
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: as a paradigm. Okay, so I want to ask about

350
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: what this paradigm could kind of look like, because I mean,

351
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: we talked about BTS for a second. Ridiculous numbers like

352
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: basically the most popular musical group in the planet maybe

353
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: the history of the planet. That's pretty good. Uh, you

354
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: got Parasite, which best picture, squid Game which became just

355
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: a total viral Netflix sensation. Tell me what this actually

356
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: looks like in five years? Are we only going to

357
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: be watching and consuming entertainment that comes from Korea? Like?

358
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: How big can this get? Well, another number you would

359
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: expect the top UM musician on YouTube with the most

360
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: subscribers UM would be someone like Ed Sharon or Justin Bieber.

361
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: But it's actually Black Pink. Now, Black Pink might not

362
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: appeal to all the generations and all the population UM.

363
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: It definitely targets a specific age group and and also

364
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: UM at the same time, it's it's not just targeting

365
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: UM English speaking UM population. It's it's a much more

366
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: globally dispersed fan base. UM. So even if black Pink

367
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: is not known widely UM within certain groups UM in

368
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: the US, they're very much widely known UM in the

369
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: same age group globally. So that adds up to the

370
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: eighty two point two mile and subscribers on YouTube, which

371
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: is the single highest number UM out of all the

372
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: YouTube musicians there are on Earth and Twits, Twitter Twits

373
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: related to K pop, they were five point one million

374
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: back in. Now it's seven point five billion UM in.

375
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: So the growth isn't isn't fathomable, it's it's difficult to

376
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: calculate from five five million to seven point by built billion.

377
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: It's it's it's uh UM. It's it's growth that's comparable

378
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: to UM. Like what was mentioned video games UM or

379
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: or in some sense Crypto and in the future UM

380
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Squid game. They're producing their second season, it's in it's

381
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: in development. And we see new TV series that are

382
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: produced in Korea and UM whose language is actually Korean

383
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: and they they they take UM top ten most watched

384
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: UM English TV series, both in US and globally on

385
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: Netflix nowadays daily. So so we believe that we're we're

386
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: just at the starting point UM where it's getting noticed

387
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: like back in the days when video games were being

388
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: noticed as as more than a subculture, right before it

389
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: became a mainstream theme. I think Korean content is passing

390
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: by that point of history where it's it's going past

391
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: UM a subculture, UM into a genre of its own

392
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: that appeals UM, not just English using population, but but Earth.

393
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: I want to ask for a sleeper recommendation. So we've

394
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: talked about some real popular ones that have massive global followings.

395
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: What's the one that's like the secret handshake that that

396
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: I should really know about that's gonna make me seem

397
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: super super cool when I tell my kids, UM, there's

398
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: a up and coming new girl group that was produced

399
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: by the same record label that produced BTS. That girl

400
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: group's name is uh New Genes, so jeans they're new

401
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: New Gens actually hit Billboard's top two hundred UM in

402
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: a week of its launch, So it's actually UM pretty

403
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: well known UM not just in Korea about globally, but

404
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: not as well known as ETS, which is more UM.

405
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: You know the the trademark K pop names. So if

406
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: you've told someone UM in their twenties and their teens

407
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: that you've you listened to New Jeens, now that's that's

408
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: something that will get their attention and their their song.

409
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: Their main song is actually called attention, So it's fitting alright.

410
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: I will file that a way um my kids into

411
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: auto tuned hip hop, but maybe he'll know it. How

412
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: was the reception? Did you get a lot of UM

413
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: haters fans? What did people say? K p BTF has

414
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: been received pretty well my knowledge in in the in

415
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: the whole K pop fandom sphere and and also locally, UM,

416
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: I see K pop companies and they all know, um

417
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: that uh they that k po BTF got listed, um

418
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: that we we we were the ones that that that

419
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: accomplished it, and so forth, and and a lot of

420
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: these k pup companies are are actually quite thankful um

421
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: for us in that we have provided them, um as

422
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: as the K pop companies, a way to indirectly interact

423
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: with with global K pop fans who now have a

424
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: way to invest in them. So I think it was

425
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: pretty well received both industry wise and and and and

426
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: and K pop random wise. However, it's still us feel

427
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: quite early in our stage. Um our a U M

428
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: isn't booming since inception. Our numbers are definitely down. UM

429
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: A lot of ets are down, so we're we're we

430
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: don't think we're unique in this, but had we listed

431
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: at a better time or or from a longer standpoint, um,

432
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: we we hope to gain more popularity, not just from

433
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: an industry point of view, but but as an investment

434
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: vehicle um for for global investors. Jen want, I want

435
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: to ask you one final question which we ask a

436
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of folks on trillions, which is, what is your

437
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: favorite e t F ticker other than your own? And

438
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: I have to tell you K pop is an epic ticker.

439
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean you you nailed it, so I know that

440
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: you you should take credit for that. But if you

441
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: were gonna give anybody else in props, who who else?

442
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: Would you? Who else? Would you say? It's it's difficult

443
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: to choose. And I would say, um, nothing really beats

444
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: KP pop? But I would say, uh, round hill meta

445
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: verse et F ticker um, which is I think, to

446
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: my knowledge, um m etv um. I mean that's pretty

447
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: uh obviously a metaverse sticker. So um, I think that

448
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: worked out pretty well. Yeah, I think I think that

449
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,760
