The Total Revenue That 2022-2023 K-Pop World Tours Brought In Is Actually Unbelievable

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, K-Pop concerts and tours were, of course, halted for quite some time. Many artists struggled to make ends meet due to the restrictions of the time, and creative solutions like online concerts and other virtual activities became more popular during this time.

Now that things have calmed down in terms of the pandemic, however, world tours from several different K-Pop artists have quickly been announced and performed, with 2022-2023 seeing what seems to be record numbers of concerts and attendees of these events.

Because of this sudden spike in K-Pop world tours, the revenue that they’ve brought in for their concerts has never been higher. Major acts like BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN, and Stray Kids really showed just how popular they are among international fans with their tour income, showing that they’re definitely successful outside of their home country!

Other fourth generation acts such as ATEEZ and TXT didn’t bring in a small amount of revenue either, which is especially impressive for ATEEZ as they’re from a much smaller label than anyone else on this list.
