Notably, all artists are Hybe’s male idols.

This year’s Asia tour attendance rankings show that K-Pop artists accounted for 40% of the top 10, with four Hybe male idol groups making the list. Seventeen ranked No. 2, ENHYPEN No. 3, BTS’s J-Hope No. 5, and Tomorrow X Together No. 8. Pollstar’s rankings cover tours that ran from October 1 last year to September 30 this year.

Seventeen continued their momentum from last year’s RIGHT HERE World Tour, including a run in Japan’s four major domes. ENHYPEN, which launched their Walk The Line World Tour last year, achieved the fastest entry into Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium among visiting artists, accomplished in 4 years and 7 months.

J-Hope is the sole solo K-Pop artist on the list. Since his discharge, he has staged a world tour across 10 Asian cities and 21 shows, all sold out. Tomorrow X Together opened their third World Tour ACT: PROMISE during the period, reaffirming their status as top-tier performers.

This result shows that K-Pop has cemented its position as a core driver of the global live music market beyond Asia. Critics note that Hybe’s artists’ multiple chart entries, together with the label’s systematic fandom management and tour planning, have helped securing a competitive edge in the global live music industry.
