BTS member J-Hope has been winning hearts with his latest track ‘Killin’ It Girl.’ Meanwhile, he also started with his world tour almost immediately, and HYBE, the agency associated with the Bangtan Boys, seems to have gained profit from it.
Yes, the agency reported an 85.7% rise in revenue in North America in the first quarter of 2025. The numbers are said to be up to 133.25 billion KRW (approx. $102 million). This has been reportedly fueled by J-Hope’s solo tour, Hope on the Stage. Of course, other HYBE America acts have also contributed to the earnings.
MTN News has also confirmed that this happens to be one of the company’s largest quarterly increases in previous years. For the unversed, J-Hope’s tour garnered the largest crowds in Mexico and the United States.

Hope on the Stage started in April 2025, with 12 events in major locations like Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Oakland, and Mexico City.
Approximately, over 178,000 attendees were reported to have attended the shows. The BTS member played songs from his albums Jack in the Box and Hope on the Street Vol. 1. The consistent ticket sales throughout cities are evidence of J-hope’s solo popularity and the K-pop group’s continuous fan loyalty.
HYBE also generated revenue from goods and fan spending as a part of the same concert.
Analysts say that people at concerts in the US spend around $60 on merchandise, and about 22 out of every 100 attendees actually buy something.
When did J-Hope’s tour end?
J-Hope’s Hope on the Stage trip concluded on June 14, 2025, in Goyang Stadium in South Korea. The first night of the finals also coincided with BTS’s 12th anniversary. This resulted in an unexpected OT7 reunion.
In fact, the rest of the BTS members also came out in support of Hobi as he performed on stage. The audience went crazy when Jin and Jungkook even joined him onstage to perform Jamais Vu. This further resulted in an emotional scene; most of the ARMY dubbed it the “unofficial BTS 2025 Festa.”
BTS Jin’s Epic US tour
Just as J-Hope finished his concert, another member of BTS, Jin, started his Epic US tour. He reportedly launched his solo fan concert tour, dubbed #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, on July 17, 2025, at Anaheim’s Honda Center.
The K-pop idol is said to have garnered over 25,000 fans over two electrifying nights at the venue.
