Anyone who's been following SEVENTEEN's meteoric rise over the last few years won't be shocked to see their name at the top of Billboard's Highest Grossing K-Pop Tours List of 2024, which named the ten top performing acts of the year.
The list, which sources its data from year-end Boxscore charts, excludes statistics from any overseas activities, including numerous legs and tour extensions in Asia and beyond.
The 13-member group easily overtook all other competitors, raking in a shocking $98.4 million, just shy of a whopping nine figures.
The tour's feats included over 865,000 fans in attendance, and just 24 shows, averaging around $4.1 million per show.
HYBE's ENHYPEN also had a monstrous year, considering the freshness of the boy group since their debut in 2020. The septet raked in an impressive $63 million, with 36 shows and 407,0000 tickets sold.
The list's remaining top spots in third and fourth were also occupied by boy groups TXT and ATEEZ, who brought in $58.1 million and $37.6 million respectively.
The largest-grossing girl group of the year was JYP Entertainment's TWICE, who netted $24.2 million over the course of just five shows, beating SEVENTEEN's average at $4.84 million per show and a whooping 220,000 fans in attendance. Had the group decided to embark on a more audacious venture in the States, it might've been a woman's world after all.
Equally as imposing is IU's track record of selling out venues, especially as the sole solo act on the list, coming in sixth with $16.6 million in eight modest shows.
The remaining spots on the list were rounded out with IVE in seventh ($10.8 million), NCT Dream in eighth ($7.8 million), (G)I-DLE in ninth ($6.7 million), and iTZY in tenth ($6 million).
Fans may note that mega groups BLACKPINK and BTS are off-cycle, with members of the girl group pursuing solo endeavors while various members of BTS are in the midst of completing their compulsory military service.
The two acts, a force to be reckoned with in their own might, previously ranked among the magazine's top ten-grossing tours regardless of genre.
