HYBE label acts including J-Hope, TXT, and ENHYPEN dominate Asia’s live market, per Pollstar data.
This year, HYBE’s roster of artists — including J-Hope, Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together, and ENHYPEN — demonstrated significant influence in the Asian concert market, according to recent data from Pollstar. Seventeen, under Pledis Entertainment, ranked No. 2 on the Asia Focus Charts: Top Touring Artists, coming in behind Coldplay in the period tracked.
ENHYPEN sits at No. 3, with J-Hope at No. 5 and Tomorrow X Together at No. 8, all within the Top 10 and all affiliated with HYBE’s labels. The global pop field is crowded with acts like Lady Gaga, Imagine Dragons, and Maroon 5, yet the K-pop acts listed in the Top 10 are all under HYBE’s umbrella. Seventeen previously dominated four Japanese domes with the Right Here World Tour, and subsequently completed Asia stadium runs in major cities this year, a notable feat reinforced by their BBMA recognition as Top K-pop Touring Artist. ENHYPEN, after launching the WALK THE LINE tour from October last year at Goyang Stadium, has continued to fill Asia’s domed and stadium venues, marking one of the fastest escalations for a foreign artist in Japan since debut. J-Hope remains the only K-pop solo artist to reach the Top 5, with the HOPE ON THE STAGE Asia leg selling out 21 performances across 10 cities and drawing roughly 342,000 attendees. Tomorrow X Together has staged 28 shows across 11 Asian cities during its three-world-tour run and is now undertaking additional dates in Japan’s five major domes, expanding the group’s scale and reach in the region.
