BLACKPINK dyed the Osaka night sky pink and successfully wrapped up their second dome tour in Japan.
BLACKPINK held 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK] JAPAN' at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Japan for two days on the 3rd and 4th. Previously, they met with 110,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome in April, and added 100,000 fans in Osaka, mobilizing a total of 210,000 fans with only 4 performances in 2 cities in Japan.
Kyocera Dome held a special meaning for both artists and fans as it was the concert hall where Blackpink wrote a new history, 'the shortest period of time since their debut as an overseas girl group'. As a result, all seats were sold out in the fierce competition, and the pop-up store also proved to be a special interest of local fans.
In this performance, Jisoo was unable to participate due to the confirmation of Corona 19, and Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa decided to go on stage as three to keep their promise with fans who have been waiting for a long time. Jisoo expressed his apologetic feelings to the fans and said, "Please be a big support and strength to the members who will perform harder on stage."
As a result, the fans warmed up the heat of the concert hall with even more enthusiastic cheers. As if to reciprocate the explosive shouts, Blackpink opened the song with more intense energy, 'How You Like That'. They said, "I'm happy to be back," and said, "I was very worried and regretful that Jisoo unnie couldn't come, and I wanted to see the Osaka fans. The three of us will do our best to do Jisoo unnie's part, so please have fun."
The members filled Jisoo's void with stage dominance and overwhelming performances worthy of a 'world class' artist. They performed successive mega hit songs such as 'Pretty Savage', 'Whistle', 'Lovesick Girls', 'Kill This Love', 'Shut Down' and 'DDU-DU DDU-DU', which received explosive love from music fans all over the world. In addition, the rich live band sound and high-quality production that YG's performance know-how adds to the charm of the concert and heats up the audience.
BLACKPINK, who ran non-stop from solo performances filled with various charms to the encore stage, thanked local fans for their unwavering love. Fans applauded and cheered for the members who interacted with each other throughout the stage, promising the next meeting.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is conducting the K-Pop girl group's largest world tour, 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK]', which mobilizes about 1.5 million people. After successfully completing the dome tour in Japan, they move on to Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, where member Rosé spent her childhood. At the 'Hyde Park British Summertime Festival', a British music festival to be held in July, he will be on stage as the first K-pop artist headliner.
