BTS J-Hope, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN and other HYBE music group label artists showed powerful influence in the Asian concert market this year.

According to data recently released by U.S. concert industry trade publication Pollstar, PLEDIS Entertainment Co.'s Seventeen ranked second in the 'Asia focus charts: Top touring artists (ASIA FOCUS CHARTS : TOP TOURING ARTISTS / tally period on Oct. 1, 2024–Sept. 30, 2025)' category.

Also, Belift Lab Inc.'s ENHYPEN (third), BigHit Music's J-Hope (fifth) and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (eighth) were positioned within the 'top 10.' With global pop stars such as Lady Gaga, Imagine Dragons and Maroon 5 lined up on the chart, all K-pop artists who made the top 10 belong to HYBE music group labels.

Seventeen dominated Japan's four major domes with last year's 'SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR.' After that, they completely conquered major Asian city stadiums such as Bulacan, Singapore, Jakarta and Bangkok in the first half of this year. Having previously won 'Top K-pop Touring Artist' at the '2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs),' Seventeen was praised for its solid standing.

ENHYPEN began last October at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex and filled all their Asia shows (during the tally period) on the 'ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR "WALK THE LINE"' with domes and stadiums, showing explosive growth. In particular, they entered Japanese stadiums in the shortest time among overseas artists after debut (four years and seven months), reaffirming their presence as a 'K-pop top tier group'.

J-Hope was the only K-pop solo artist to enter the 'top 5.' As part of his world tour 'HOPE ON THE STAGE,' he sold out 21 shows in 10 Asian cities. Having set a milestone as the first Korean solo singer to perform at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles during the world tour, he drew about 342,000 spectators in Asian shows alone, proving strong ticket power.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER performed 28 shows in 11 Asian cities during the tally period with their third world tour 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR ' and its expanded second episode tour, and their currently ongoing fourth world tour. They are now embarking on a five-dome tour in Japan, showcasing the grandeur of a "stageteller" (a portmanteau of stage and storyteller) on a larger scale.<
