BLACKPINK raised income from performances twice at YG’s new headquarters

Group Blackpink earned 100 billion won in just two months of world tour. They are the girl group that earned the most money in the world from a single tour.

Touring Data, a U.S. concert tour box office statistics company, introduced on the 21st (local time) that Blackpink was the group with the highest sales of all time thanks to ticket revenue from 'Born Pink'.

‘Born Pink’ is Blackpink’s second world tour. To date, 26 performances have been performed, mobilizing a total of 366,248 people, and generating revenue of approximately $78,480,521 (approximately KRW 104.8 billion). About 41.6 billion won was spent on YG's new headquarters, which is enough to build the building more than once.

The previous record was held by the legendary British girl group Spice Girls. The Spice Girls earned $78.2 million (KRW 104.4752 billion) through 11 world tours in 2019.

Blackpink is currently on an Asian tour after completing their European and North American tours. Starting with a performance in Bangkok in January, the group successfully completed concerts in Hong Kong, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Kaohsiung, Manila, and Tokyo.

Mexico, Singapore, Macau, Osaka, Melbourne and Sydney are also scheduled, with encore performances planned in Europe and Bangkok. The expected audience is approximately 1.5 million people, and the expected revenue is over 300 billion won.
