Fan Reactions to Pricing
The ticket prices have sparked considerable discontent among fans. Many took to The Qoo, a popular online community, to voice their frustrations regarding the costs associated with attendance. One user lamented:
“It looks like they’re slowly raising the price tag. I have no intention of going to this concert, but I bet the price tag will go up again. I’m already annoyed.”
Additional comments highlight fans’ concerns about the concert’s timing:
“They don’t even have any consideration for the fact that it starts at 8 o’clock.”
“Why is 6 o’clock the national rule? Coldplay and Oasis perform at 8 o’clock. Did BLACKPINK think by that standard?”
“8 o’clock in Goyang…and the price, oh my, they don’t think about the audience at all.”
Concerns About New Music
In addition to price concerns, fans are curious about potential new music from BLACKPINK before the concert. Comments reflect this anticipation:
“But are you releasing a new album and holding a concert?”
“The tickets are all too expensive… I bought them because I’m a fan, even though they’re pricey, so I really emptied my wallet… It’s annoying.”
“Even if you really like it, seeing this makes you wonder what you’re fanboying about.”
The Future of BLACKPINK as a Group
The announcement of this concert has taken fans by surprise, particularly since there has been no preceding information about a group comeback from YG Entertainment. Since BLACKPINK’s hiatus, all four members—Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rose—have been occupied with their solo careers. Each member has released at least one solo album:
- Jennie released “Ruby”on March 7, 2025
- Lisa debuted “Alter Ego”on February 28, 2025
- Jisoo launched her album on February 14, 2025
- Rose’s “Rosie”was released on December 6, 2024
In addition to musical projects, Lisa made her acting debut in the third season of *The White Lotus*, while Jisoo is involved in a new acting venture titled *Newtopia*. Moreover, Lisa and Jennie are set to perform at Coachella later this month.
The uncertainty surrounding the group’s future, especially after members have left YG and joined new labels for their solo careers, adds to the intrigue about a possible group comeback. Fans remain eager for updates, hoping to see BLACKPINK reunite under their beloved banner once again.
