Blackpink concert chaos: the K-pop queens’ comeback Born Pink World Tour lands in Hong Kong in January 2023, but there’s already drama over US$1,300 resale tickets, feuding and disbandment fears …
- K-pop sensation Blackpink will perform in Hong Kong from January 13-15, 2023 as the city reopens, but resellers are hiking up ticket prices while the band’s Taiwan shows sold out in mere minutes
- Meanwhile, fans are speculating about a feud between Lisa and Rosé, accusing the idols of giving ‘lazy’ performances – especially Jennie – and demanding a solo album from Jisoo
The K-pop sensation quartet Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa announced their “Born Pink World Tour” on August 8 and have since finished their American leg of the tour and are about to commence the Asian leg in January 2023, hitting cities like Bangkok, Singapore and of course stopping by Hong Kong from January 13-15.
With this being the largest tour in K-pop girl group history, and tickets selling out in seconds, the “Forever Young” girls have become a smashing global success, but with the long tour dates and almost nightly performances it hasn’t been all smooth sailing.
From rumours of rifts between the girls to unsatisfied fans, it is a chaotic time for the “Lovesick Girls” and their fans.
Here is everything major that has happened since the world tour for Born Pink has kicked off …
Jisoo: the Blackpink member who was left behind?
Blackpink fans, also known as Blinks, have watched all four members display their own style and charisma through their solo music careers – with the exception of Jisoo.
While Jennie, Rosé and Lisa perform their own songs during the group’s concerts, Jisoo continues singing covers of other artists despite Blackpink having debuted six years ago.
