Blackpink's ‘Deadline' tour to hit Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium in January
K-pop girl group Blackpink will perform two shows at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium in January next year. It seems to mark the end of the group's 'Deadline' world tour.
The superstars last performed in the city in 2023 for three sold-out shows at AsiaWorld-Expo.
According to details released by K-pop agency YG Entertainment on Tuesday, the world tour will kick off in July in Goyang, South Korea, and is scheduled to conclude with the two shows in Hong Kong on January 24 and 25.

This week in PostMag: Bangkok, Japan, the Silk Road and more top travel ideas
One of the saddest things about becoming an adult is losing summer. Of course, there's still the season, which honestly I'd happily lose in Hong Kong, its oppressive humidity and all. But the deliciously lazy six to eight weeks of nothingness and boredom I remember from childhood vanish for most of us in the workforce. (Though, perhaps they've already disappeared for the modern era's chronically overscheduled children, too.) Somewhere in the midst of these lazy weeks, there might be a family trip to break the glorious banality of doing nothing. A day at the seaside, a visit to grandparents, perhaps an exotic journey abroad, if you're lucky. In that spirit of those adventures both big and small, allow me to introduce our summer travel special. Whether or not you have your travel plans booked, or even if you're staying in the city throughout, I hope this issue inspires you as it did me. I loved reading about the renewed energy sweeping Bangkok's Chinatown neighbourhood. Vincent Vichit-Vadakan talks to the next generation who are driving the change, restoring heritage buildings and transforming the area with forward-thinking restaurants, bars and art spaces. From what people have been telling me, there's been no better time to visit Bangkok than now and this has me convinced. With his gorgeous photography, Christopher Wilton-Steer documents the last leg of his 40,000km journey along the Silk Road. In his recently published book, he travels eastward from Italy all the way to Beijing, weaving together the famed trade route's history with the present day. Here, Wilton-Steer has shared the final portion of his odyssey from the Pakistan border into China. The far western reaches of the mainland are not an area I've visited yet, but the striking landscape of Dunhuang and the Gobi Desert are calling. Cameron Dueck treks through Japan's largest national park, Daisetsuzan. I'll be honest, the prospect of brown bears lessens its appeal for me but I have faith you might be braver. What does the height of indulgence look like to a newly christened Hongkonger? The solitude and vast expanses of wilderness that he encounters.

How Ayrton Senna shared a distinction with late Hong Kong kart racer Paul Tarrant
Whizzing around Victoria Park in the 1970s, Hong Kong kart racer Paul Tarrant embodied a freewheeling era and a city gathering speed. Tarrant, who died this month aged 68, competed for the last time on home soil when he finished as top local driver in the 1974 Hong Kong International Karting Prix (HKIKP). By then, his short but successful career had launched him on to the silver screen and featured duels with a rival later dubbed 'the man Ayrton Senna could never beat': Terry Fullerton. Sepia footage captures a track marked out with cones and tyres, and a stream of karts hurtling down a straight towards crowds of enthusiasts with cameras ready, in the shadows of a smattering of high-rise buildings. An excited announcer relays the action and the winners receive cartons of Capstan cigarettes. How the Post reported the HK International Karting Prix in 1974. Photo: SCMP Tarrant had the dashing looks to accompany his talent, even if, weeks earlier, a barber at Singapore's old airport sheared his locks when he arrived for an event, because of the city state's rule against men having long hair. With his go-faster trim, Tarrant won every race.

Top 10: How would you change a spot in Hong Kong for teens, and why?
This week's question: What skill should every teen master before 18, and how can it be fun to learn? To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Wednesday, June 4 Jasmine Chau Tsz-ching, 15, Stewards Pooi Kei College: In Cheung Chau, we have a wire fence filled with love locks for couples. I would like to change this practice to a way for teens to express their anger. Teens could write down their dissatisfaction on the locks which allows them to release their troubles. Chan Hau-yin, 12, Immaculate Heart of Mary College: I would transform Kwun Tong Promenade into a combination of a food court and a library. Given its fantastic view, it is a perfect spot for teens to hang out, especially if there are free snacks like fish balls and spring rolls available. In the library area, people could enjoy reading novels or manga. Wong Pui-ho, 15, Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College: I will design a museum dedicated to the history of game consoles. This museum will not only showcase the evolution of game consoles but will also allow teenagers to try them out for free, helping them deepen their understanding of these gaming devices. Teens would enjoy learning about different video game consoles, one reader says. Photo: Shutterstock Lloyd Tse Chi-loi, 13, Stewards Pooi Kei College: All convenience stores could benefit from adding study corners. Since they sell food, I'm sure teens would enjoy studying while munching on snacks. Who knows? Maybe hard work can be paired with tasty treats and drinks. What would be your go-to snack while studying in that corner?
