Published: 4/1/2026
A comprehensive guide to purchasing HYBE artist global concert tickets through NOL World. Essential reading for ARMY, CARAT, and ENGENE.
【2026 Latest】 NOL World is a Lotte Group travel and ticketing platform that has emerged as a new channel for HYBE artists' Japan and Asia concerts since late 2025. BTS ARIRANG TOUR Japan shows and LE SSERAFIM, ENHYPEN Asia tours now appear alongside Weverse listings. This guide covers NOL World's role, how it compares to Weverse, registration, and regional collection methods.
What Is NOL World?
NOL World, operated by Lotte Hotels and Lotte Duty Free, is an integrated platform combining:
- Concert & fan meeting ticketing
- Lotte hotel bookings
- Lotte duty-free shopping coupons
- Airfare and package tours
As of late 2025, HYBE has begun dual-listing Asia and Japan tours, making Weverse + NOL World a standard pairing for regional shows across Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong.
NOL World vs. Weverse: How to Decide
For HYBE concert tickets, choosing between platforms matters.
| Factor | Weverse | NOL World |
|---|---|---|
| Geographic Focus | Korea, North America, global | Japan and Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Manila, Hong Kong, Taiwan) |
| Member Perks | Official fan club presale priority | Lotte duty-free coupons, hotel discounts |
| Currency | USD / KRW | JPY / THB / SGD / PHP / HKD / TWD (local) |
| Ticket Format | Mobile (Weverse app) | Mobile (NOL World app) or on-site pickup |
