The BTS ones yes. The BlackPink ones are based off of an AllKpop article but apparently there’s an article on Navar confirming the 280k too. I don’t know how to access all that but if anyone does, please feel free to post :)

According to YouTube, 280,000 people worldwide watched the concert, excluding China. It is similar to five stadium performances that can accommodate more than 50,000 people. If the average price of online tickets is 42,000 won, the estimated income is 11.76 billion won.
This is the first time that BLACKPINK has tried this concert on YouTube. The so-called membership platform. You can only watch it if you pay 36,000 won (live broadcast + replay) and 48,000 won (basic + behind-the-scenes content) on the official channel. YouTube has broadcast concerts that are released on various channels, including broadcasters, together, but this is the first time that it has signed an exclusive contract with an artist and broadcasted an online concert for a fee.
An official from YG, an agency of BLACKPINK, said, "We were thinking about which channel to show our fans the first online concert, and YouTube suggested this method first, so we came together."
YG kept silent on the distribution of profits, but the industry estimates that YouTube may have made an unconventional offer to Black Pink. Currently, singers who canceled their global tour due to the prolonged Korona crisis are turning to online concerts one after another. For YouTube, a platform company that needs to bring singers, this is because the Black Pink concert is the first test stage. An industry official said, "YouTube is contacting various agencies to bring singers' contents and develop a paid platform called Membership." "The success of this Black Pink online concert will also have a big impact on other agencies' platform choices."
