Born pink tour finale in Seoul. I am proud of the girls but at the same time I feel bad for latam blinks. Hope they get their concert on the next tour.
The tour ends right before my birthday. So they’re either gonna make my day or unmake my day😂😭
BP Seoul Encore venue predictions? 👀
1. Gocheok Sky Dome, 20-25K capacity
2. Seoul World Cup/ Seoul Olympic Stadium 60-65K capacity
They’ll be the first girl group to hold a solo concert in any of the venues! I’m confident it’ll be Gocheok.
EDIT: Jamsil Stadium (the Olympic Stadium) is under construction until 2025. Psy was the last artist to perform there for a while. [https://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=202307030817035510](https://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=202307030817035510)
I also looked at the matches schedule at Seoul World Cup stadium and saw that on Sunday (17th) there will be a match starting at 14:00 so can’t see it happening logistics-wise.
Jamsil Baseball Stadium doesn’t seem to be used for entertainment events so it’ll be 99% either Gocheok Sky Dome or KSPO Dome lol [https://twitter.com/BBU_BLACKPINK/status/1691727192588538085](https://twitter.com/BBU_BLACKPINK/status/1691727192588538085)
I don’t understand why they’re keeping the Seoul encore venue a secret (for now) 🤔🤔
The Seoul Encore can potentially end all fanwars if Blackpink collected Kpop idols in attendance..
And ABH better show up in pink with Pyongbong in hand and screaming like a blink to every song!
>!Kiel Tutin!<was the >!Main Director and Choreographer for the BornPink Encore. He and his fellow dancers were all credited at the end of the concert.!<
Does anyone know at what time the Seoul concerts sold out? I searched on Google, and it says 8-9 minutes on some websites and 1-2 minutes on others. Which one is correct?
Venue is probably gocheok sky dome not so? I don’t see them successfully holding 2 shows at the Olympic stadium yet
It could still be kspo dome ofc but then why not reveal from the get go 🤔
Also BIGBANG MADE world tour started with 2 shows at kspo dome then ended with 2 shows at the sky dome 👀
[Vegas Twitter:](https://twitter.com/Vegas/status/1691883745593229437)
>While we’re prepping the city to go pink for #BLACKPINK, here are some major things happening in our area #BORNPINK #BLACKPINK4EVER
There’s a thread of things happening which currently ends with:
>“I can’t be done before it’s finished”… Stay tuned. Vegas is going pink very soon
Exciting 👀

No matter what happens with all the contract stuff, the Seoul encore concerts are going to be extremely emotional. Wrapping up the tour on the exact 1 year date it started is super cool and shows how big the tour was in just 1 year. The girls also did and accomplished so much outside of the shows and also have had to deal with a bunch of bullshit. The chances Rosé cries is like 110%😂 we saw how she cried at the end of the last tour lol
Hi everyone!
I just need to share this. Otherwise, I’ll simply depress myself into oblivion if i don’t let it out.
Hope this is the right place, therwise let me know.
Essentially, I discovered blackpink only 4 days ago (yep, I’ma newby), after days of IG flooding me with reels of Lisa silencing everyone.
So i start looking into the group, their songs, their stories, video, etc, and I think “wow what a cool and tight group it is” and i start liking their songs and everything.
So, then I see it was their 7th anniversary the other day, and I though “woow, such a long journey, living it since the beginning and growing together with them should have been amazing”, etc etc.
Then, I discovered that the 7 years is the average lifetime of a Kpop group because of the contract duration, and that balckpink is not that close to renewing their contract, so now I just want to scream “WHYYYYYYYY”, “why the world let me find them only to lose them so soon!!!”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(Btw, i can not imagine what you people should be going through…)

rosie back at [electric lady studios](https://twitter.com/rosenator123/status/1691933762433491065)? 👀
I’m ready ![img](emote|t5_3f8po|719)
edit: false alarm 😔
Anyone know what time will call opens and closes at Allegiant in Vegas?
Somehow, it is always Blackpink’s fault. Kind of like my real life, all that has happened eventually is my fault and my responsibility to take. My stan life reflects my real life to the point it is not an escape anymore.
Trying to cancel someone over a Frank Ocean recommendation is why kpop stans look deranged to the rest of the population.
Anybody gone to the NJ encore soundchecks? Do you have to sit in your assigned seat for the concert or is it first come first serve?
Blackpink had a test for their anniversary and winner has a crossword puzzle for theirs today. I think it’s cute. I don’t know what treasure had though.

Does anyone have info for the concert tomorrow? I’m VIP and I’ve never done VIP before so idk what to expect. What time should I get to allegiant stadium in the morning?
GD is really out of YGE, huh? For the first time they didn’t make a birthday poster on their social media.
What does everyone think about the 50-50 situation. I’m confused why people seem to side with the company more than the girls.
New Selena, Miley & BP (if Ryan Tedder is in the know and can be trusted) all dropping on streaming services on 8/25, and Olivia possibly also dropping “get him back!” the same day based on prior hints? What a day/night for pop music. ![img](emote|t5_3f8po|718)![img](emote|t5_3f8po|707)

kpop stans really think articles that state positive, *truthful* things about blackpink is mediaplay 😭 the way these people engage and are in favor for mediaplay anyway, just in a different sort of way.
as long as the narratives are negative and they control it, then everything about the pinks is real and true. the moments their delusional bubble gets popped? everything’s fake, an illusion. “no wdym bp are actually popular and talented?! that’s a lie cause only the groups *i* like and say so are!1!1!”
I miss seeing Lisa with the members😭 she’s always off on her own now
It’s funny that Jisoo’s boyfriend hasn’t made a single IG post since the relationship announcement. Seemed to be pretty active before that. Meanwhile Jisoo rejecting proposals from other men at concerts. ![img](emote|t5_3f8po|717)
YT be giving me random videos and shorts but [this one](https://youtube.com/shorts/hY_KN5oKN2E?feature=share) was one of the good ones ![img](emote|t5_3f8po|707)
We going [pink in the City of Sin](https://twitter.com/honorslisa/status/1692390880987287857)
Blinks have taken over Vegas lol both my Uber driver and the front desk worker have tickets to the show and asked me about it. I’ve seen a lot of people around wearing BlackPink merch. And tonight it was so cool to see Mandalay Bay lit up pink!
The girls release is not getting enough hype for my liking.
Like the focus has been on some unnecessary stuff lately but come on people we have a song coming up.😃
Yes its sucks that the release was delayed but now its game on so let’s goo!! You wanted a song now you getting it.🙊
Jihyo’s album is really really good, like I was not expecting to like it at all cause Twice music isn’t my thing nor was Nayeon’s album but wow. The instrumental in talking about it chorus?, just saauur good
Really great album by Jihyo, twice is my joint favourite group and my jihyo bias in twice so its perfect. Hope that sound is explored by Blackpink as well really love it i think i would work well.
In like two days we got releases from triples, stayc, everglow, aespa and jihyo. It’s hard work out here being a multistan.
Jihyo’s album is my favorite. I love when an idol takes the opportunity with their solo to do something different than what their group does. It’s darker, slower, moodier than what Twice usually does. Her duet with Heize had my ears ascending.
“That’s our Blackpink!”
[one year since the iconic jisoo opening in pink venom.](https://twitter.com/jisoospic/status/1692537764695396709?s=46&t=zFJp2AiHQ8DMpuTzwwaOgg)
Happy 1 year Pink Venom!
What’s worse redditors or twitter folks?
I just adore the new Aespa release. I’ve been loving their change in sound with My World and Better Things, and that’s coming from someone who had already really liked their previous stuff.
Elon removing the ability to block people on Twitter would be a bottom 3 move all-time for the site.
It’s literally a feature on every site and he somehow says “it doesn’t make sense”
You ever come across an account that very clearly just spends their entire day posting hate about Jennie and wonder wtf has gone wrong in that person’s life? Imagine not liking something and then obsessing over it constantly.
What happened, All 4 Girls are now not following anyone on IG?? None of them follow each other or blackpinkofficial either… What’s going on?
There’s a physical release for The Girls???
Okay so after the Light Up the Pink campaign last year + the 4 encore stadiums and Vegas turning pink this year, I’d like to ask if anyone knows if it’s solely a matter of paying the respective businesses/landmarks enough money to go along with it, or do you still need some level of clout to achieve this as well?
