1 years ago By Movies Desk

In a historic achievement, BLACKPINK’s ‘BORN PINK World Tour 2023’ has been officially recognized as the highest-grossing tour in the history of K-pop. This remarkable feat was confirmed by Touring Data, an independent resource known for reporting BoxScores, worldwide concert grosses, and live entertainment information. The tour garnered an astonishing $260.6 million in profits, marking a monumental moment for the Asian music industry.

The success of the ‘BORN PINK World Tour’ is exemplified by the staggering number of tickets sold. A total of 1,485,245 tickets were reported to have been sold throughout the tour. When breaking down the statistics, it’s revealed that the average revenue per show was approximately $4,653,526, with each ticket priced at an average of $175.46. This data is based on the 56 out of 66 shows from the tour that were properly recorded.

The tour’s impact was felt across the globe. In North America, the tour generated a total profit of $51,280,096 from 14 out of its 19 scheduled shows. In Europe, they raked in $24,878,954 through 10 out of 11 shows. The Asian sub-continent shows were particularly impressive, amassing a remarkable $164,460,142 from all of its 30 shows. The Latin American leg of the tour also contributed significantly, generating $19,978,283 in revenue from just two shows.

Remarkably, 10 shows are yet to be accounted for, leaving room for the earnings to potentially surpass the already impressive $260.6 million figure. As BLACKPINK’s popularity continues to rise, these numbers may only grow further.

On September 20, 2023, Korean news reporter Kang Sung-hoon also confirmed that BLACKPINK had earned $265 million, roughly equivalent to 350 billion KRW, during their ‘BORN PINK Tour 2023.’ This achievement places them ahead of other global acts, including Ariana Grande, making BLACKPINK’s tour the most successful by a female group worldwide.

BLACKPINK’s achievement in becoming the highest-grossing Asian band in tour history has also set them apart from BTS, another global phenomenon in K-pop. BLACKPINK’s earnings of $260.6 million have outshone BTS, who previously held the record with $245.5 million from their ‘Love: Speak Yourself World Tour’ (2018-19). This accomplishment further solidifies BLACKPINK’s place in K-pop history.

The success of the ‘BORN PINK World Tour’ is a testament to BLACKPINK’s incredible fanbase. The tour attracted an astounding 1.8 million spectators during the 66 shows that spanned a year and took place in 34 locations worldwide. The numbers only continued to grow, with the inclusion of attendance at Coachella and Hyde Park concerts, raising the total to 2.11 million attendees.

The tour commenced with 55,000 enthusiastic fans in Seoul in October 2022. It went on to draw a remarkable total of 540,000 music enthusiasts in North America, around 55,000 in Australia, and 215,000 in Europe. The majority of their fans, a staggering 900,000, hailed from Asia, underlining the group’s immense influence on the continent.

BLACKPINK’s remarkable achievement was met with jubilation from their fans, who took to social media to celebrate the historic milestone. The group’s global appeal and dedicated fanbase played a pivotal role in their success.

However, amid this remarkable achievement, there is uncertainty surrounding the members’ contracts with YG Entertainment, the management company. This has led to a media frenzy, with speculations about the future of BLACKPINK’s lineup. YG Entertainment has issued a statement clarifying that negotiations are still ongoing.

The speculation surrounding BLACKPINK’s contract renewals has not only gripped the fans but also had real-world financial consequences. YG Entertainment’s stock price fell by approximately 30% amid rumors that BLACKPINK might not sign a contract renewal with the company.

BLACKPINK’s ‘BORN PINK World Tour 2023’ has undeniably made its mark as a historic moment in K-pop history. The tour’s record-breaking earnings and the group’s immense global popularity have solidified their position as one of the most influential acts in the music industry. As fans eagerly await updates on contract negotiations, it remains to be seen what the future holds for this iconic K-pop group.

BLACKPINK’s ‘BORN PINK World Tour 2023’ has become the highest-grossing tour by an Asian band, breaking records, and setting new milestones for the K-pop industry. Their unprecedented success and global recognition serve as a testament to their talent and the unwavering support of their dedicated fanbase.
