BTS’s Jin and J-Hope are proving their world class power once again as they became the only Korean solo singers to enter the U.S. Pollstar tour charts with their latest solo tours.
Pollstar recently released its “Top 20 Global Concert Tours” and “Asia Focus Charts: Top Touring Artists,” and both Jin and J Hope ranked at the very top among Korean solo acts — showing just how strong their individual popularity is worldwide.
Jin grabbed attention by taking 14th place on the “Top 20 Global Concert Tours” through his solo fan concert tour “#RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR,” held from June to August.
All his shows, including Goyang, Chiba, and Osaka, were completely sold out. His Kyocera Dome Osaka concert even hit a “perfect sold out”, filling every section, including the highest floor and restricted view seats — a very rare milestone for a Korean solo singer.
Jin also made history overseas. He became the first Korean solo artist to perform at London’s O2 Arena and pulled the largest audience ever for a Korean artist at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
He also achieved a full sell out at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, making his solo tour even more remarkable.
Meanwhile, J-Hope placed 5th on the “Asia Focus Charts: Top Touring Artists” with his powerful solo world tour “HOPE ON THE STAGE.” This chart counts total ticket sales for concerts held in Asia.
J-Hope sold out 21 shows across 10 Asian cities, drawing about 342,000 fans in Asia alone. He also became the first Korean solo singer to perform at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, marking another historic moment.
When including encore stops, “HOPE ON THE STAGE” featured 33 shows in 16 cities and attracted around 524,000 fans, successfully wrapping up one of the most impactful tours of the year.
Media outlets praised J-Hope for showing his full musical identity and strong stage energy, calling the tour “a masterpiece” and “a new era for J Hope.”
With both Jin and J-Hope entering the U.S. Pollstar charts as the only Korean solo singers, fans are celebrating what many describe as another proud moment for BTS and K pop.
