Big Hit Music, their agency, stated, "In July alone, BTS held eight concerts, while The Weeknd had 16. BTS achieved similar revenue to The Weeknd with only half the number of shows."

Billboard reported that BTS is the third artist in history, following Beyoncé and Bad Bunny, to surpass $100 million in monthly sales over several months. All BTS concerts held last month ranked in the top 10 on the "Top Boxscore" list. Their shows at Stade de France in Paris, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Allianz Arena in Munich, and King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels all placed in the top 10 of Billboard's Top Boxscore rankings.

BTS drew a total of 185,000 spectators in Paris alone, bringing in $3.6 million in ticket sales. According to Billboard’s analysis, BTS held 38 "ARIRANG" tour concerts by August 11, generating $433.2 million in revenue and selling 2.3 million tickets.

Big Hit Music projected, "Given that the 'ARIRANG' tour is scheduled to continue through the first half of next year, revenues and performances are expected to far surpass past records."

BTS will continue their tour’s momentum with concerts at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, on September 1–2 and 5–6.
