HYBE has entered the ranks of the “Big 4” in the global concert market.
According to Billboard‘s recently released “2025 Boxscore Year-End Report,” HYBE recorded tour revenues of $469.2 million over the past year (October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025, same period hereafter), ranking 4th in the “Top Promoters” category. This is a rise of five positions compared to the previous year.
This growth was supported by the activities of HYBE Music Group label artists. Among the four K-pop artists featured in the annual “Top Tours” ranking, three belong to HYBE Music Group labels. Leading artists such as BTS‘s J-Hope, SEVENTEEN, and ENHYPEN, along with BTS’s Jin, TXT, LE SSERAFIM, BOYNEXTDOOR, and &TEAM, held a combined total of 213 concerts, drawing an audience of approximately 3.3 million.
Notably, SEVENTEEN (Pledis Entertainment) successfully completed a large-scale world tour, including stadium shows in North America, attracting about 964,000 attendees. Their tour revenue reached $142.4 million. Currently, their SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] is ongoing with 29 shows across 14 cities worldwide.
J-Hope (Big Hit Music) demonstrated a powerful presence with his first solo tour HOPE ON THE STAGE. His tour, held in major cities worldwide including Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium, attracted over 500,000 fans and generated approximately $80 million in revenue.
ENHYPEN (Belift Lab) grossed $76.1 million from 25 shows. In addition to sold-out performances in the U.S. and Europe, they achieved milestones by performing at Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium and Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium. They are recognized as a firmly established global top tour artist just five years after their debut.
HYBE stated, “Our ‘Multi-home, Multi-genre’ strategy, which centers on artist creativity and fan experience, is proving to be a competitive advantage in the global market. We will continue to present outstanding performances by various label artists to inspire fans and create a new growth model for the music industry.“
