A significant part of that growth came in the live entertainment sector, which saw revenue growth of 342% year-over-year to KRW 62 billion ($44.2 million).<\/p>\n JYP specifically singled out K-pop boy band Stray Kids\u2019 recently completed world tour, which saw the group perform 54 shows in 23 cities across Asia, Oceania, Latin America, North America, and Europe. The tour kicked off in August last year and was completed just a few weeks ago with a finale at Rome\u2019s Stadio Olimpico.<\/p>\n Notably, three members of TWICE\u2014Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung\u2014contributed to the soundtrack of Netflix\u2019s movie \u2018Kpop Demon Hunters<\/em><\/a>.\u2019 The track \u201cTakedown\u201d has become the highest-charting song on the Billboard 100 to have come from a Netflix film.<\/p>\n JYP Entertainment\u2019s lucrative artist tours also boosted the company\u2019s merch sales, which saw a 355.9% year-over-year increase to KRW 66.9 billion ($47.7 million). That was aided by collaborations between the groups Stray Kids and TWICE, and the brands Tamagotchi and Sanrio, respectively.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, JYP\u2019s efforts to internationalize its business are paying off, with the world beyond Korea, Japan, and China seeing a growing share of revenue.
