  "account": "HYBE, the South Korean music and entertainment company, has announced that BTS plans to extend their ongoing ARIRANG World Tour into the first half of 2027. Additionally, the septet is working on new content for both group and solo projects. On an earnings call, CEO Lee Jae-sang disclosed that HYBE reached an all-time high revenue of 1.52757 trillion Korean won, or $1.135 billion, and an operating profit of 188.5 billion Korean won, or $140.35 million, for the third quarter of 2026. These figures surpassed the previous quarter's records, driven by BTS's world tour and their multi-genre strategy. Following the release of their Billboard 200-topping album ARIRANG in March, BTS embarked on their global comeback tour in April. So far, the members have visited stadiums across Asia, North America, Europe, and Latin America. The tour will continue through the first half of 2027, with plans for additional dates to be announced. After a brief break, BTS will resume their worldwide performances later in November, followed by stops in Australia. The company projects further growth due to broader artist activities and continued development of HYBE's global infrastructure and platform services.",
