Whether it's their explosive global presence or their unwavering impact at home, SEVENTEEN is making every move count in 2025. From the high-energy release of THUNDER to the fan-fueled HAPPY BURSTDAY celebrations, the group is lighting up the K-pop scene with back-to-back highlights.
CARATs are riding the wave of excitement with every new drop. But beyond the fandom frenzy, SEVENTEEN is setting new standards in the music industry with their touring power and record-breaking revenues, firmly securing their spot at the top.
SEVENTEEN's Touring Revenue Ranking
According to Billboard's semi-annual Boxscore report (covering October 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025), SEVENTEEN has landed in the global top three for ticket sales, pulling in a staggering KRW 167 billion (approx. USD 129 million) from their world tour. That's 30 shows across 14 cities in North America and Asia, with a total of 842,000 fans attending.
Their 2024-2025 'RIGHT HERE' tour began in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and showcased not only their performance prowess but also their unmatched ability to connect with audiences worldwide. Even HAPPY BURSTDAY, the 5th mini album, sold 2.27 million copies on its first day.
Global Giants and a K-pop Powerhouse: SEVENTEEN Climbs the World Stage
SEVENTEEN is now rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in global music, landing just behind Coldplay (USD 142.1 million) and Shakira (USD 130 million) in concert ticket sales.
But what truly makes this moment remarkable is how far they've come in such a short time. Just last year, SEVENTEEN ranked 16th on the same chart with USD 67.5 million in sales. In 2025, they've nearly doubled that figure, bringing in an incredible USD 129 million (KRW 167 billion) from their world tour.
K-pop Tour Power Rankings
Within the K-pop landscape, SEVENTEEN's lead is even more pronounced. The next closest act, ATEEZ, generated USD 28.4 million (KRW 39.2 billion), followed by BTS member J-Hope, whose solo tour brought in USD 28.1 million (KRW 38.8 billion). Enhypen and Tomorrow X Together (TXT) came in fourth and fifth with KRW 35.3 billion and KRW 34.7 billion, respectively.
SEVENTEEN isn't just performing—they're dominating. With chart-topping releases, sold-out stadiums, and a fandom growing stronger by the minute, 2025 is proving to be their year in every possible way.

Park Bo Young reveals WHY she blocked her company's number for 7 days after filming Our Unwritten Seoul: 'I had to…'

In a move as unexpected as a K-drama plot twist, Park Bo Young vanished from the radar after wrapping up filming for Our Unwritten Seoul. During a candid appearance on the YouTube show Halmyungsoo, she casually revealed that she told her company not to contact her, and then blocked their number. As soon as she dropped that bombshell, her co-stars, GOT7's Park Jinyoung and Ryu Kyung Soo, stared at her in astonishment. But what made the lead actress go full ghost mode on her team? Well, the reason is hilariously relatable. Park Bo Young shared that she just wanted one week of peace after filming ended. 'My MBTI is ISFP. The biggest ISFP flaw is that we don't leave the couch,' she admitted with a laugh. She went on, 'It was my dream to spend a whole week at home just ordering food and watching OTTs.' Park Bo Young explained that she's a 'big MIA (Missing In Action) person' and absolutely loves being at home on her couch. And it seems that the dream finally came true. What's Our Unwritten Seoul All About? At the heart of Our Unwritten Seoul are identical twins Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae (double role played by Park Bo Young), who share the same face but live completely different lives. Mi Ji, the younger sister, is a former rising star in track and field, now enjoying a laid-back, free-spirited lifestyle. Meanwhile, her older twin, Mi Rae is a perfectionist through and through, building a stable career at a public corporation. On the surface, they couldn't be more different — but for reasons yet to be revealed, they decide to switch lives, diving headfirst into a bold and risky charade. Then there's Lee Ho Su (Played by Jiyoung), a lawyer at a prestigious law firm. He may appear easygoing, but beneath the surface, he hides a complicated past. He lives quietly, never fully revealing his emotions… until a fateful encounter begins to stir something deep inside him. He meets Mi Ji, who is living his sister's life. Will things change between Lee Ho Su and Mi Ji? Full of secrets, identity twists, and emotional undercurrents, Our Unwritten Seoul is set to release episodes 3 and 4 on May 31 and June 1 2025, at 5:30 PM KST.

Min Hee Jin vs LE SSERAFIM's agency: June hearing gets scheduled for KakaoTalk messages' validity as evidence amid NewJeans row

Source Music filed a 500 million KRW damages lawsuit against former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin. Its second hearing took place on May 30, Friday, during when the agency was set to present some important 'evidence' of the case, that involved text messages. However, Min Hee Jin's side alleged the messages to be illegally obtained. Hence, the court ordered a separate hearing to check its legal validity, as reported by K-media outlet Sports Today. Min Hee Jin's stance in the Source Music case LE SSERAFIM 's label, Source Music, was prepared to present a 20-minute showcase of documents supporting their claims. However, Min Hee Jin 's legal representative raised an objection, arguing that the KakaoTalk messages included in the presentation materials were obtained without proper authorization. Thus, as per the defendant, the texts should not be considered as evidence. ADOR refuted it by claiming that the messages were legally obtained and used in previous trials. Elaborating their concern, Min Hee Jin's team stated, 'What worries us most is that the presentation may contain message excerpts related to the disputed incident.' Additionally, her legal counsel also submitted a formal request for the trial to be held in a closed session, away from public scrutiny. Court decision on Min Hee Jin's request The 12th Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court acknowledged the former ADOR CEO's concerns regarding the legal admissibility of the KakaoTalk messages, however they denied the second request of a closed session. The judge's ruling mentioned, 'We will proceed with a public hearing, but will restrict any discussion or display of the specific KakaoTalk excerpts the defendant contests until further review." Upon hearing both parties' arguments, the court decided to hold a separate hearing on June 27 to assess the legitimacy of the KakaoTalk evidence. About Min Hee Jin vs Source Music case Min Hee Jin claimed in a press conference that HYBE initially planned to debut NewJeans as their first girl group but instead chose to launch LE SSERAFIM first. She also alleged that HYBE later limited NewJeans' promotional activities and favoured LE SSERAFIM.
