K-pop supergroup BTS earned about $125 million (approx. 141.5 billion KRW) in July from their 'ARIRANG' world tour, ranking No.2 on Billboard's monthly 'Top Tours' chart. The group performed eight European shows in July, generating $102.5 million (approx. 1415억원) in ticket sales; only The Weeknd topped the list with higher grosses from more dates. Billboard noted BTS is one of three artists (alongside Beyoncé and Bad Bunny) to surpass $100 million in monthly tour revenue across multiple months. The tour’s cumulative revenue has reached roughly 600 billion KRW (about $433.2 million so far), with 2.3 million tickets sold across 38 shows to date. Several concerts, including those at Stade de France (Paris), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London), Allianz Arena (Munich), and King Baudouin Stadium (Brussels), placed in Billboard’s Top Boxscores. BigHit Music expects the 'ARIRANG' tour to continue into early next year, projecting it will surpass BTS’s previous records. Upcoming shows include early August dates at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
