I have seen a lot of discourse over 4th gen Kpop tours from the last few months it started when Idle cancelled their tours in the US and it seems every other 4th gen group is struggling to sell in the West and now with Aespa concert in LATAM.
Before the third gen, Girl Group Touring wasn’t even big in the West especially since they used to be restricted to China, Japan, SEA. Except Wonder Girls who did a US tour back in 2009 but it wasn’t that successful. Also I think 2NE1 tried with 1-2 shows but that’s it.
Then also it was 2019 when big 3 of 3rd gen toured US in same year, RV, BP and Twice. Companies saw potential again and after Covid they hit such big numbers.
Last 2 tours by BP(BornPink, Deadline) and Twice(Ready To Be, This Is For) both have crossed 1.5+ mn attendance while next best is Aespa and Ive near 450K. There still huge gape that needs to be covered.
Maybe being 4th gen needs time as BP and Twice did those number after their 6-7th year. Or thier popularity might already been plateaued.
New jeans had this potential I think but we will see.
All the fans expect now atleast 1mn+ attendance tours from 4th gen groups or something?
