K-pop girl groups are entering a new golden age of world tours. With large-scale tours spanning beyond Asia to cover North America and Europe following one another, their influence in the global performance market is growing even stronger. World tours that visit major cities around the globe and meet tens of thousands of fans serve as key indicators of ticket power, global influence, and core fandom size.

Currently, the leading representatives of K-pop girl groups driving the global performance market are BLACKPINK (BLACKPINK) and TWICE (TWICE). BLACKPINK set a new milestone for K-pop girl groups through their world tour "DEADLINE," which ran from last May to January this year. Starting at Goyang Stadium in Korea, they visited major international venues including SoFi Stadium and Soldier Field in the U.S., Stade de France in France, Tokyo Dome in Japan, and Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium. Notably, they became the first K-pop girl group to enter London's Wembley Stadium in the UK. Furthermore, they once again demonstrated overwhelming ticket power by scheduling additional performances in North America and Europe amid explosive demand.

TWICE is also solidifying its status as a top-tier tour artist. Their sixth world tour, "THIS IS FOR," which kicked off last July and will conclude on the 12th after running for one year, showcases their unique tour scale by moving between stadiums and large arenas primarily in North America and Japan. In particular, they implemented a 360-degree stage at Osaka's Kyocera Dome for the first time among K-pop singers. Additionally, they held a total of 35 performances across 20 cities in North America alone, drawing approximately 550,000 fans. This marks the highest number of attendees ever for a K-pop girl group on a North American tour. Based on their globally accumulated fandom over many years, the group has established itself as one that can stably handle large-scale tours.

The team showing the most noticeable growth following these two groups is LE SSERAFIM (LE SSERAFIM). They will kick off their second world tour, "2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'PUREFLOW'," starting with a performance in Incheon on the 11th. The tour will visit key cities in North America and Europe, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., Newark, London, Amsterdam, and Paris, after passing through Japan. Notably, they have significantly expanded their scale by including large venues such as Tacoma Dome and United Center, each with around 20,000 seats, in just their second world tour. Most importantly, it is noteworthy that they expanded their activity range to Europe within a short period after their first world tour last year. It is expected that the experience accumulated on major global stages will lead to success in this world tour's box office performance.

aespa (aespa) is also expanding its activity scope by venturing into new markets. They will take the stage at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome for the first time through their "2026-27 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK : COMPLæXITY -" on August 7 and 8. Following this, they will visit major North American venues including Hamilton's TD Coliseum, Almonte's UBS Arena, Washington D.C.'s Capital One Arena, and Los Angeles' Intuit Dome. They have further demonstrated their growing global presence by expanding their tour range to Central and South America, including Mexico City, Santiago, and São Paulo.
