SEVENTEEN tops K-pop touring list with 167 billion KRW in ticket sales revenue, beating ATEEZ and BTS' J-Hope
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.
