SEVENTEEN, j-hope, ENHYPEN, TXT top Billboard tour chart… HYBE dominates global stage

Artists under HYBE Music Group are showcasing their influence on the global touring market, reaffirming the global reach of K-pop.

According to Billboard’s Boxscore half-year report (October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025), SEVENTEEN, j-hope, ENHYPEN, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER ranked at the top of the K-pop “Top Tours” chart.

SEVENTEEN drew approximately 842,000 attendees during the period, generating about 120.9 million dollars in ticket revenue—nearly double from the same period the previous year. This figure places them behind only Coldplay and Shakira in global ticket sales.

j-hope was the only K-pop solo artist in the top 5. His ongoing solo world tour “j-hope Tour ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’” contributed to this ranking, with six cities included in the report. In April, he became the first K-pop soloist to perform solo at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

ENHYPEN ranked fourth with only eight shows, demonstrating strong touring power. Their tour began last October in Goyang and features mostly stadium and dome venues, solidifying their status as a top-tier global act.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER landed fifth with their “ACT : PROMISE” tour, covering 13 cities worldwide including Europe. Their narrative-driven performances continue to captivate global audiences.

HYBE’s global momentum continues in 2025. Following j-hope, BTS’s Jin begins his first solo fan concert tour “#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR” in June. SEVENTEEN, now in their tenth year, released their fifth full album “HAPPY BURSTDAY” and hinted at a new tour.

ENHYPEN will perform at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok in June and will enter Japanese stadiums in July and August in record time. LE SSERAFIM is actively touring with “2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’,” and TWS will hold their first solo concert in Seoul before touring in Japan.
