“No Practice Sessions?” — Fans Question BLACKPINK’s Preparedness for Upcoming Tour and Comeback After Rosé’s Statement

On March 31, 2024, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo unveiled a behind-the-scenes video titled “Jisoo – ‘AMORTAGE’ PROMOTION WeETCH,”which triggered a wave of concern within the fan community. The video documented moments from her participation in fansigns and various music show appearances, highlighting a particularly touching interaction with fellow member Rosé.

In a memorable segment from the video, Rosé made a surprise visit during Jisoo’s second pre-recording, and their conversation revealed that the two hadn’t seen each other since Christmas, almost two months prior. Their exchange took a playful turn when Jisoo encouraged Rosé to participate in the trending Earthquake dance challenge, to which Rosé hesitated, mentioning her long break from dancing.

“It’s been so long since I last danced,”the Gone vocalist admitted.

This brief comment ignited speculation among fans regarding the group’s preparation for their upcoming activities. Many raised concerns about whether BLACKPINK would have sufficient time to rehearse, feeling apprehensive about the possibility of a rushed tour experience.

“So they didn’t practice for any comeback or concert yet,”voiced one user on social media.

Doubts lingered among fans regarding their readiness.

“Oh lord……PLEASE change the tour dates 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏I can’t go this,”another fan pleaded.

“The tour shouldn’t start until December at least, but YG seems desperate for money, and it’s going to be a mess,”remarked another observer.

“Damn, she can’t even catch this? The tour is about to be even worse than the last one,”expressed a fan in response.

Additional fan commentary reflected similar sentiments of concern.

“They’re going on tour in 3 months, but they haven’t been in a practice room together in over 2 years,”another netizen pointed out.

“This tells me there is a high chance that the tour will be a mess, plus they haven’t prepared a comeback yet,”added a keen viewer.

“The BLACKPINK out-of-sync videos are gonna come back to haunt us,”another user lamented.
