How Much Money BLACKPINK’s ’BORN PINK‘ World Tour Made?
The world is still buzzing with excitement following the conclusion of BLACKPINK’s BORN PINK world tour. Jisoo, Lisa, Jennie, and Rose, the sensational members of the K-pop phenomenon, took their electrifying show to 24 countries and 34 cities, wowing audiences with 40 captivating performances, including encores. The grand finale, which took place on September 16 and 17, 2023, in Seoul, was nothing short of spectacular.
But the real jaw-dropping moment came when we got a glimpse of the staggering earnings from their tour. Hold onto your seats as we break down the numbers.
A Whopping $265 Million
According to a prominent Korean media outlet, BLACKPINK’s BORN PINK world tour raked in a jaw-dropping ₩350 billion KRW, equivalent to a mind-boggling $265 million USD. To put this into perspective, it would take Johnny Depp starring in five “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies to match this incredible sum.
That $265 million USD isn’t just the total sales amount; it’s the revenue they collected from their devoted fans. Yes, you heard it right – $163.8 million USD went straight into BLACKPINK’s pockets. This achievement not only cements their status as one of the biggest acts in the world but also places them at the helm of the highest-grossing tours led by female artists. Keep in mind, BLACKPINK debuted back in 2010, proving that their star power has only grown brighter with time. They even left Ariana Grande’s ‘Sweetener Tour’ in their dust.
A World of Records
BLACKPINK’s world tour was not just about the numbers; it was about shattering records and making history. The group became the third female artist to sell out the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, a venue reserved for the likes of Beyonce and Taylor Swift. And speaking of Queen Bey and Taylor Swift, BLACKPINK joined their elite club by headlining at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, making them the fourth artist to achieve this feat.
What’s even more astonishing is that every single concert on their tour was sold out, despite having a high-ticket price range. International music icons, including John Legend, couldn’t resist the allure of BLACKPINK’s electrifying shows.
Uncertain Future
While BLACKPINK basks in the glory of their tour’s success, their fans, known as BLINKs, are left with uncertainty. The question of whether the group will renew their contract with YG Entertainment looms large. BLINKs, who have been an unwavering source of support, are understandably anxious about the future.
As the world eagerly awaits the next chapter in BLACKPINK’s remarkable journey, one thing is clear – this K-pop sensation has left an indelible mark on the global music scene. Stay tuned to Koimoi for more news and updates on your favorite artists.
