The tour garnered a record-breaking 472,183 attendees and became the most successful concert tour conducted by a K-pop girl group.[2] From October 2022 to September 2023 Blackpink embarked on their second worldwide concert tour, the Born Pink World Tour, consisting of 66 concerts in 22 countries around the world. The tour attracted 1.8 million people, making it the most-attended concert tour by a K-pop girl group.[3] It ranked at number ten on Billboard's 2023 Year End Top 40 Tours chart, and broke the record for the highest-grossing concert tour in history by a female group.[4][5]
