**BLACKPINK earned 350 billion won through the world tour.**

With BLACKPINK’s year-long world tour wrapping up, the profits are enormous.

In October 2022, BLACKPINK launched its “BORN PINK” world tour and attracted fans around the world by traveling around 34 cities, including North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania.

For about 11 months, the tour continued without a single interruption and will make a successful finale in Korea in September.

During the tour, BLACKPINK sold out concert seats wherever they went due to global popularity.

Amid growing curiosity about how much BLACKPINK will earn, the U.S. entertainment media “allkpop” reported on the 31st (local time) that BLACKPINK made $264.5 million (about 350 billion won) from its world tour.

When fans heard the news, they responded in various ways, such as “It’s really cool,” “It makes sense to earn that much because I’ve been around the world,” and “How much do each member get on the tour?”

BLACKPINK made a lot of money over the past year. The K-pop idols will now return to Korea and hold a BLACKPINK world tour “BORN PINK” encore concert at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul, for two days on September 16 and 17.

Gocheok Sky Dome is the largest indoor concert hall in Korea that can accommodate about 22,000 people, and BLACKPINK is the first K-pop girl group to hold a solo concert here.

Attention is focusing on what other new records BLACKPINK will set in the future.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK celebrated its 7th anniversary on the 8th and is about to renew its contract.

Amid various speculations and many rumors, BLACKPINK’s agency YG Entertainment has not made an exact official position, saying, “The contract is under discussion.”
