Top 10 Highest-Grossing K-Pop Tours of 2023 Revealed

BLACKPINK takes the lead with their large-scale world tour, “Born Pink.”

Billboard just dropped the list of the top 10 highest-grossing tours by K-Pop artists in 2023. According to the stats, BLACKPINK is crowned first place, making a whopping $148 million across 29 shows around the globe.

Securing the 2nd spot is BTS Suga, bringing in $57 million from 26 shows. What’s noteworthy is that he stands as the sole soloist on the ranking. Fans are even more proud of Suga because K-pop is typically dominated by global groups, leaving less room for soloists. 

In addition, 2023 signifies the resurgence of K-Pop with world tours, following a period where artists were put on pause due to COVID-19.
