During the Korean Wave (Hallyu), K-pop artists took their concerts outside of South Korea, and with increased exposure, becoming a huge success in other Asian countries. Soon after, record label companies started experimenting expanding into the western music markets outside Asia.[1] The word "Hallyu" (韓流; 한류) first originated in China during the 1990s by journalists that were surprised with how rapid Korean music had spread throughout China.[2]

One study that examined the number of concerts held during the 2010s indicated that East and Southeast Asia had the most concerts, with North America and to a lesser extent Europe showing some consistent growth. Nevertheless, Asia remains a priority for K-pop artists when hosting concerts due to cultural similarities, lesser expenditures, distance and its established and strong patronage.[3] The top three Asian countries with the most concerts were China, Japan, and Singapore.[3] Korean artistes would also often release music in Chinese or Japanese which they would subsequently perform in other Asian countries.[3]

The study also found that most tours were those of male groups, with solo acts and female groups coming in second.[3] The top touring acts were BTS, Blackpink, Big Bang, Twice, Stray Kids, Seventeen, Super Junior, 2PM, TVXQ, Shinee, Exo, Girls' Generation, F.T. Island, CNBLUE, Xia, Infinite and B1A4; with Xia the top solo act and IU the top female solo act.[3]

This is a list of all notable K-pop concerts held outside the Asian continent.
