BLACKPINK 'stole' the position from BTS, fans at Wembley witnessed something shocking

BLACKPINK continues to affirm their leading position in the international music industry by becoming the first Kpop girl group to perform at Wembley Stadium (London, UK) - one of the most prestigious music "cathedrals" in the world, second only to BTS.

The two shows on August 15 and 16 are part of the global tour called DEADLINE . Wembley Stadium, with a capacity of over 90,000 spectators, was where BTS made history in 2019. Since then, no K-pop artist has returned to this stage until BLACKPINK appeared, marking a new milestone for Korean music in Europe.

Before heading to Wembley, the group released a behind-the-scenes video on their official YouTube channel on August 14, capturing the moment the four members reunited after nearly two years during their performance in Goyang. Despite the hot weather, Jisoo, Jennie , Rosé, and Lisa still diligently practiced, editing each move to achieve the best stage effect.

The atmosphere at Wembley exploded as soon as the concert began. BLACKPINK brought a series of familiar hits along with the debut performance of the new song JUMP, exciting tens of thousands of spectators. The members shared their emotions when performing together again: "We are really nervous to stand on stage as BLACKPINK after such a long time". Tickets for both shows were "sold out" in advance, showing the group's strong appeal in the European market. Experts commented that this success not only solidified BLACKPINK's reputation as one of the world's top girl groups, but also expanded the influence of Kpop, connecting Korean music culture with global audiences.

Conquering Wembley is not only a victory in terms of reputation, but also a strong affirmation that BLACKPINK has transcended the framework of a Korean idol group to become a global cultural phenomenon.

Firstly, Wembley is a symbol of international stage class. Only artists with lasting appeal and a huge fan base are capable of filling tens of thousands of seats here. This proves that BLACKPINK is not only "popular" in Asia or North America but also has a solid foothold in the European market - a place that is strict and rarely gives opportunities to Kpop artists.

Second, the event helped BLACKPINK solidify their individual and collective brands. Each member has their own influence in fashion, advertising, and social media, but Wembley elevated the group to a new level: musical icons who are trendsetters, breaking language and cultural boundaries.

Finally, Wembley opens a new chapter in BLACKPINK's journey. After nearly two years of hiatus to focus on individual projects, the reunion on one of the world's biggest stages is both a message that "BLACKPINK is still here" and a platform for the group to continue expanding their touring scale, international collaborations and conquering new heights.

BTS became the first K-pop act to perform at Wembley in June 2019, selling out two shows in just 90 minutes. The success was seen as a "giant leap" that brought K-pop deeper into the Western music market.

While BTS paved the way and proved that Korean artists can conquer a world-class stage like Wembley, BLACKPINK, after 6 years, continued and expanded this achievement by becoming the first girl group to do the same. Unlike BTS when they were in a period of strong explosion, BLACKPINK stepped onto the Wembley stage after a period of hiatus, so this victory has the meaning of reaffirming their appeal and sustainable position, despite the time gap and fierce competition in Kpop.

According to the plan, BLACKPINK's world tour will go through 16 cities with a total of 31 shows. With what they showed at Wembley, observers believe that the group will continue to create new historical moments for Kpop in the near future.

Rosé released a behind-the-scenes clip of the concert, giving in to Jennie, ending the noisy discord?
