On June 4, 2021, SM reported that JYP Entertainment had acquired a 23.3% stake in Dear U as it began to expand its influence in the platform business.^[14][15] JYP announced the acquisition of an additional 14.1% of the old common stock of the company owned by SM Studios.^[16] Previously, on May 26, JYP had an acquisition of 1,682,000 shares of the company's old common stock.^[17] It had a stake of 9.1%, at about 8.4 billion won, and the final number of shares acquired was 4,285,192 shares with a 23.3% stake, and the investment amount was about 21.4 billion won.^[18][19] Its goal is to grow Dear U Bubble into a competitive mobile platform in the global market, noting the "synergy" between the two companies with global networks.^[20]
