Blackpink is currently the center of the world music scene with the exciting 45-day BORN PINK tour, meeting BLINKs across Asia, Europe and North America.
The 4 girls delivered passionate performances on stage, combining Blackpink's iconic hit songs with new songs on the recently released Born Pink album.
Even the members' solo stages quickly became viral on global social networking sites.
The concerts definitely make Blackpink physically and mentally exhausted, but the four members always appear on stage with bright smiles, sharing that BLINKs are the reason it's all worth it.
In return for their idol's love, BLINKs fill up with concerts every night. Besides, fans also created creative acts for the girls as a farewell gift after the concert.
Recently, a grandiose gift for Jisoo went viral ahead of the group's first concert in Chicago, Illinois. Outside the United Center, where the group was holding a concert, fans spotted a banner dedicated to the oldest sister Blackpink in the sky.
The banner reads Jisoo Will You Marry Xiuqi! Together Forever! (Jisoo-ah, will you marry Xiuqi? Together forever) was flying in the sky for 6 hours. It is known that this is a gift planned and made by Jisoo's Chinese fans.
This "heavenly" gift also comes with a hefty price tag. An aerial advertising agency estimated that the cost of the flight would be between $375-650 per hour, and Jisoo's gift would cost at least $2,250 for a six-hour flight.
Fans hope that Jisoo was able to see this adorable banner when the flight ended.
It can be said that Blackpink is currently the most popular K-pop girl group with an international reputation. However, the group also faces worrisome risks when it comes to constantly controversial skills and is influenced by external factors.
Constantly criticized for skills
Coming back after 2 years with the album "Born Pink", Blackpink is busy with a global tour, which is expected to last until the middle of next year.
But ever since the world tour began, Blackpink has been constantly entangled in controversy over their performance. According to Xports News, with the status of "the biggest girl group in Kpop", Blackpink is disappointing another part of the audience because what they show is not worthy of the title.
On social networks, there are many videos of concerts, showing members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé making mistakes in choreography, skipping movements and being accused of having a superficial dancing attitude. Even, when searching for keywords related to Blackpink's concert, the word "messy" appeared.
In addition, many argue that Blackpink abuses the backtrack (turning on the audio at a lower volume so that the singer can sing over it) to support, making the live performances unconvincing, especially in the rap segments of Lisa and Jennie. .
The "over-singing" is not unusual in Kpop, but Blackpink received mixed reactions because the backtrack was too loud, overwhelming the live voice. This situation was condemned when Blackpink performed at the MTV VMAs 2022.
Variety listed the "Pink Venom" stage as one of the worst moments of this year's MTV VMAs, saying that Blackpink "lip synced", focusing only on performance and overshadowing the live singing.
Of course, it also has to be evaluated in many aspects. The videos spread on the internet are partly due to the group's anti-fans deliberately cutting them, "driving" public opinion to have an unfriendly view of Blackpink. In many other performances at the concert, the 4 female idols still performed perfectly and were supported by the audience.
However, it is understandable that the public is strict with Blackpink, because they are the most famous girl group in Kpop. The audience has the right to demand more from Blackpink. Fame always comes with responsibility and pressure.
Unstable health due to tight schedule
Another issue that Blackpink fans are concerned about is the health status of the members.
In recent concerts, the oldest sister Jisoo worried fans because of a large lymph node in her neck. Although YG Entertainment has confirmed that Jisoo has no health concerns, it has not been able to completely reassure fans.
Not only Jisoo, other members also show signs of exhaustion. Fans are worried that the tight schedule will make the members exhausted.
YG's crisis
Blackpink has undergone 6 years of operation, until August 2023, when it will be 7 years, the group will have to consider whether to continue signing a contract with YG Entertainment or not.
There is a paradox that while Blackpink's popularity is increasing, YG is going through a crisis due to the scandal of former CEO Yang Hyun Suk and other affiliated artists.
This year, YG's profits dropped significantly compared to the same period last year, even though the company owns the biggest K-pop girl group, Blackpink.
With these alarming signs, whether the 4 Blackpink members will continue to sign with YG Entertainment is still a big question mark.
Blackpink disbanded, what will the 4 members be like: Jisoo has an open future, Lisa faces hardships? Nắng14:14:49 25/06/2022Blackpink debuted in 2016 and they are fast approaching their 7th anniversary in 2023. While this is certainly an achievement for any group, it has some fans concerned with its "lyrics". 7-year curse" that so many K-pop groups in the past seem to have suffered. Will Blackpink...
