SEVENTEEN Tops K-Pop Tour Revenue With 167 Billion KRW Across North America, Asia

In 2025, Seventeen has solidified its position as the leading K-pop touring act, generating approximately KRW 167 billion (USD 129 million) in ticket sales from their 'Right Here' world tour, which drew over 842,000 fans across 30 shows in North America and Asia. Billboard's midyear Boxscore report ranks Seventeen third globally in concert revenue, behind Coldplay and Shakira, marking a significant rise from their 16th place ranking and USD 67.5 million revenue the previous year. Their success is complemented by strong album sales, including the 5th mini album "HAPPY BURSTDAY," which sold over 2.27 million copies on its first day, and hit singles like "THUNDER." Within the K-pop genre, Seventeen outpaces competitors such as ATEEZ and BTS’s J-Hope, who each earned around USD 28 million, with Enhypen and Tomorrow X Together also featuring prominently. This surge reflects not only Seventeen's dynamic performances, blending choreography, vocals, and fan engagement, but also the broader global expansion and commercial strength of K-pop artists, with five K-pop acts now appearing on Billboard's all-genre top 50 midyear touring list. The rapid growth of Seventeen underscores a new era in K-pop's international influence and commercial touring success.
