In 2024, IU completed her ‘HEREH World Tour,’ which became the highest-grossing tour by a Korean soloist in history. The K-Pop Records Library certified this achievement on March 27, 2025, recognizing that the tour’s six U.S. shows alone generated $12,827,280 in revenue, with 77,958 tickets sold at a 100% attendance rate.

IU made history as the first and only female Asian soloist to earn over $1 million and $2 million in a single U.S. concert, joining BTS’s SUGA as one of the few Korean soloists to reach such heights. Posts on X highlighted her groundbreaking success, which showcased her global influence.
