Fans of K-Pop have witnessed the phenomenal ascension of SEVENTEEN, culminating in their recent recognition at the top of Billboard’s Highest Grossing K-Pop Tours List for 2024. This annual list highlights the ten leading acts based on their financial success during the year.

An Overview of the List’s Insights

Compiled using year-end Boxscore data, this list does not consider international tour activities, which could influence total earnings. Yet, SEVENTEEN’s impressive achievement clearly stands out, as the 13-member ensemble grossed an astounding $98.4 million. They came remarkably close to reaching a nine-figure milestone, underscoring their dominating presence in the K-Pop landscape.

Record-Breaking Attendance and Earnings

The scale of SEVENTEEN’s tour was nothing short of phenomenal, attracting over 865,000 fans across just 24 performances. This translates to an impressive average of about $4.1 million earned per concert, setting new benchmarks in the industry.
