I'd guess CFs and touring.
For the company, I'd say touring, physical albums, and merch.
For the artist, I'd say CFs and acting jobs.
2020 bts
this is what i could find
merch sales seem to be the most
Q4
Albums – specifically BTS’s Be, which released on November 20th, 2020 – generated the lion’s share of the quarterly income, at $126.86 million or so (₩140.82 billion). Concert revenue fell to zero, as the capital generated by the seven-piece group’s record-setting Map of the Soul ON:E pay-per-view show, which occurred in October, seems to have been classified under “content.”
Specifically, Big Hit’s content earnings totaled $72.88 million (₩80.89 billion) on the quarter, whereas “fees for advertisement and appearance” brought in some $12.4 million (₩13.76 billion). Merchandise and licensing revenue grew year over year but dipped from Q3 2020, at $60.61 million (₩67.28 billion), with income from “fan club and others” having finished at $8.59 million (₩9.54 billion).
Overall
Big Hit made $233.38 million (₩259.05 billion) on merchandise and licensing fees in all of 2020, to $120.24 million (₩133.47 billion) on content and $29.68 million (₩32.95 billion) on fan club and other sources.
I should add Pre-pandemic for Concerts - 2020 and on, is messed up for that.

Well damn, I had an essay ready to go and everything but i don't need one now..
I think CF and touring are the best source of revenue
CFs and touring
CFs for the idols themselves, touring/album sales for the company

This is from Billboard. Albums were still bighit biggest income for 2020
touring, obviously
During covid generation, album sales
worst comes to worst we can dip a chunk of money into company stocks or company bonds(if they issue them) lol
Depends on the situation, for some acts it will be CF, for some concerts, for some albums and for a few its digitals. Its not like every act out there can do BTS numbers in everything.
Yes that's why I mentioned average and decently popular - to exclude the few immense successes and the many who don't have any fame.
the question depends on what one means by "best"
is that implying most profitable or most gains for least amount of work?
for example people above have said concerts and CFs whilst profitable for the idol requires them to actually "work" whereas for something like merch or licencing they don't need to actually " work " per se as oppose to just utilising their brand name

The original post details already addresses the quantum of work.
And it is about best revenue, it is obviously about profitability.
