SEVENTEEN Records Highest K-Pop Tour Revenue at 16.7 Billion Won, Ranking Third Globally

SEVENTEEN achieved the highest tour revenue in K-Pop history with their 2024-2025 “RIGHT HERE” world tour. According to Billboard’s semiannual Boxscore report, SEVENTEEN generated 16.7 billion won (approximately 129 million dollars) in ticket sales from October 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, securing the top spot for K-Pop tour revenue. Their dominance was evident on a global scale as well, as they finished in third place in the global tour revenue rankings during the same period behind Coldplay (142.1 million dollars) and Shakira (130 million dollars). Among K-Pop groups, they far surpassed ATEEZ (39.2 million won) and BTS member j-hope (38.8 million won). SEVENTEEN’s “RIGHT HERE” world tour featured 30 performances in 14 cities across North America and Asia, attracting over 842,000 fans. Starting in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, the tour maintained its reputation for delivering SEVENTEEN’s signature style, which combines sophisticated choreography, powerful vocals, and genuine fan interaction. This tour success is one of the key highlights of SEVENTEEN’s activities this year. Their fifth studio album, “HAPPY BURSTDAY,” released in May last year, sold 2.27 million copies on its first day, while the title track “THUNDER” has dominated global charts and received enthusiastic support from fans. The speed of their growth was also notable; SEVENTEEN ranked 16th in the Boxscore rankings during the same period last year but nearly doubled their tour revenue within a year, rising from 67.5 million dollars to 129 million dollars. This indicates a explosive increase in SEVENTEEN’s global popularity and tour influence. SEVENTEEN also demonstrated their strength on the “K-POP RADAR” Weeekly Fandom Chart. They topped the chart immediately following their comeback, and the music video for “THUNDER” accumulated 27 million views during the tracking period. Their Spotify followers increased by 56,000, far exceeding the average of 1,500 for K-Pop artists, while their Instagram and Twitter followers rose by 12,000 and 4,000 respectively, proving the explosive growth of their fandom. With their 10th anniversary approaching, SEVENTEEN plans to continue with various activities. Their performances on Mnet’s “M Countdown” on May 29 and KBS2’s “Music Bank” on May 30 were praised for their live vocals and precise choreography. Hoshi and Woozi will appear on JTBC’s “Cool Room” on June 1, while Joshua will be on “Narae’s Table” on June 4. Of particular interest is “NANA bnb with SEVENTEEN,” set to release on July 2. This is their third collaboration with director Park Na-young and will be broadcast simultaneously in 77 countries and regions via tvN and Disney+.
