BIGBANG Planning To Stage Japan Dome Tour This Year?

Is a BIGBANG Dome tour happening this year? It’s possible, according to a market expert who pegged the earnings of YG Entertainment to reach over 346 billion won at the end of the year because of BIGBANG members’ concert tours.

According to a report by The Business Post, YG Entertainment stands to earn 346.4 billion won and 36.1 billion won in operating profit. The BIGBANG concerts account for 48.4 billion won in earnings for the label so it seems likely that YG will tap into this market, based on the analysis provided by Kim Hyun-seok, a researcher at Shinhan Investment & Securities.

Kim said that YG is planning to stage 34 profitable concerts this year including 14 BIGBANG tours for the MADE tour, Daesung’s Japan Dome tour, G-Dragon’s “Act III” MOTTE” World Tour and Taeyang’s ongoing “White Night” tour. The source said that it is possible that a Dome Tour at the last quarter could send YG Entertainment’s profits skyrocketing because of the strong following of BIGBANG.

It can be recalled that BIGBANG was supposed to go on hiatus as a five-member group due to the scheduled enlistment of its members. BIGBANG rapper T.O.P. was the first to enlist last February but was unfortunately discharged from is police unit after he was embroiled in a marijuana controversy.

Daesung and G-Dragon have released their solo comebacks and filled arenas with their respective tours while Taeyang is expected to release his solo album in August even as he is in the middle of his “White Night” tour.
