With touring in full swing I wanted to do a break down of every GG who has sold 5k or more in a single venue. Many groups are on tour with unreported attendance (Aespa, Baby Monster, Lesserafim, Nmixx) so their venues are what has been officially reported so far. The categories are divided between outside of Asia and inside Asia using 5k increments for ease of number listings.
I included non kpop girl groups to try to give a full picture. Kpop adjacent ggs are marked w/ and non kpop GGs are marked w/’. If there are errors/admissions please correct me! With a source!!! Some of these GGs are very hard to find confirmed numbers for, like Destiny’s Child and AKB48. Please do not just comment “Aespa/Gidle/BM actually sold 60k in Japan!” with no news article/box office reporting. TLDR at bottom of post.

Only acts to sell >50k in a single venue; Spice Girls, SNSD, Akb48, Twice, Blackpink & XG
In Asia: SNSD, Akb48, XG, Twice, & BP
Outside Asia: Spice Girls, Twice, & BP
Lesserafim, Aespa, Newjeans & BM have sold > 40k in Japan.
Gidle is the only act whose biggest single venue is not in the UK or Japan (Taiwan >35k).
With these numbers in mind who do you think, if any, will be able to grow to join TW/BP? Is there still time for other 4th gen GGs to join Aespa, Lesserafim, Newjeans & BM at 40k? Which max capacity surprised you?
