Weverse reported 12.4 million monthly active users in March 2026, down from 19.1 million when BTS began staggering enlistments in late 2022, and HYBE's Q1 investor deck addresses the 7.1 million user loss in one slide before turning to the 180 billion Korean won return-cycle revenue projection for Q3. The projection is underwritten by six Seoul Olympic Stadium nights in September and four dates at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The Seoul presale dropped on a Tuesday morning Hong Kong time, and every seated category was gone before I got off the MTR at Central. Seven members hold the model.

HYBE's supplemental fiscal 2025 filing reported 43 new trainees signed to Big Hit Music division contracts in January 2026, down from 67 in 2024, a reduction the filing attributes to "portfolio optimization" that every sixteen-year-old in a Mapo-gu practice room reads as a touring hedge. Live Nation Korea's advance ticket data, as of May 2026, placed Las Vegas sell-through at 61% of capacity across all four dates. The TOMORROW X TOGETHER 2026 tour budget, per the same Q1 materials, is down 17% from the 2025 cycle. The Q3 earnings land in October.
