The figures have fallen, and they confirm what fans already knew: J-Hope is a real heavyweight on stage. Its very first worldwide tour, HOPE ON THE STAGEdisplays impressive results that impose respect.
According to data from the Billboard Boxscore for March 2025, unveiled on April 30, the BTS member rose to 3rd place in the monthly classification of the most profitable tours. It generated around 24.9 million euros ($ 26.6 million) in just 10 concerts, attracting a total of 149,000 fans. He alone occupies four places in the top of the best recipes of the month.
It was in Mexico City that J-Hope recorded his biggest figures, with two concerts at the Palacio of Los Deportes who alone brought him nearly 5.7 million euros. The dates in the United States also hit: 4.8 million euros in San Antonio (26,800 spectators), 4.7 million in Brooklyn (27,100 fans) and 4.6 million in Chicago (24,800 tickets sold).
The tour started in Seoul with three concerts in late February and early March, before crossing the Atlantic for a series of shows in North America. Succeeding such an impact from a first solo tour is far from being given to everyone, even in the middle of the K-Pop. Thanks to this performance, J-Hope becomes the best classified Asian artist on the list, and one of the rare solo K-Pop artists to integrate the top of the Billboard tours.
To locate, Shakira takes the lead in the ranking with nearly 66 million euros collected in March, thanks to 11 concerts bringing together 554,000 spectators. It is followed by Tyler, The Creator, which garnered 33.8 million euros with 17 dates and 221,000 fans.
