BTS’ world tour sent K-pop powerhouse Hybe to the highest quarterly revenue and operating profit in its history in the third quarter of 2026.

Revenue for the quarter reached KRW1.5257 trillion ($1.13 billion) and operating profit came in at KRW188.5 billion ($140.2 million). Both numbers beat the records the company set in the second quarter. Operating margin stood at 12.4%.

Over the first nine months of the year, Hybe has taken in $2.73 billion, more than it has ever earned in a full year. Adjusted operating profit for those nine months was $310.8 million, a figure that leaves out a one-off charge booked in the first quarter.
