According to this, BTS's "BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG," which began in April, drew 2.31414 million attendees across 38 performances. Ticket revenue reached approximately $465.8 million (about 637 billion won at Hanwha exchange rates), the highest among all worldwide tours during this period.

Notably, BTS surpassed last year's top-ranked performance based solely on data up to mid-August of this year. According to the media, the most successful tour of 2025 was Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter Tour," which generated $476 million (about 557.4 billion won at Hanwha exchange rates).

BTS will begin its South American tour on October 2 in Bogotá, Colombia. Following this, they will perform a total of 14 shows across five cities: Lima, Peru; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and São Paulo, Brazil. Additional single performances were added in Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires due to overwhelming support from fans.
