‘I am numb': Blackpink fans left devastated as Hong Kong concerts sell out fast
Tickets for K-pop sensation Blackpink's concerts in Hong Kong sold out in a little more than an hour and a half of going on general sale, leaving many fans disappointed. Advertisement A Post reporter visited the ticket booking platform Cityline when sales opened on Friday at 11am. However, by noon, the wait time on the loading page, of more than an hour, had not shortened, while only limited tickets remained. By around 12.40pm all tickets for the two scheduled shows at Kai Tak Stadium on January 24 and 25 next year, were sold out. The Post also observed around a dozen people attempting to secure tickets at an internet cafe in Causeway Bay, representing about half of the customers present. Many arrived as early as an hour before the 11am sale began to secure a computer and were utilising multiple browser tabs. Some fans also used other personal devices, such as tablets and mobile phones. All of them told the Post that they believed the internet access at the cafe was superior, potentially offering a better chance of joining the queue sooner. Advertisement The hourly rate for computer rentals, typically used for gaming, was HK$16 (US$2) at the cafe. The Post was unable to confirm any successful purchases from the group of fans, with most leaving the venue around noon.

Hong Kong needs more annual events: lawmaker
Hong Kong needs more annual events: lawmaker Lawmaker Dominic Lee said the government should assist organisers in bringing annual events to Hong Kong. Photo courtesy of Dominic Lee's Facebook. In order to build a bigger economic driver and make better use of Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong should aim to have more annual events, according to New People's Party lawmaker Dominic Lee. Lee, who sits on a government tourism committee, told RTHK's Backchat programme that concerts from groups like K-pop sensation Blackpink next year are great, but annual events like the Rugby Sevens have more of an economic impact. "One of the suggestions I recommended to the government is that we've got to have annual good because people [then] have expectations, they will actually set aside their schedule to come to Hong Kong," Lee said. Lee said the government needs to be more proactive in organising events, rather than leaving it up to the market. "The government has to be a little more supportive and actually assist organisers to actually secure these annual events to be held in Hong Kong because it's good for Hong Kong's economy." Lee's remarks follow a football match at Kai Tak Stadium on Tuesday, which saw Hong Kong, China clinch a 1-0 victory over India in front of a sold out crowd, in their first home game at the new venue. Affordable tickets for the match played a big part in its success, according to Lee. "Kai Tak Stadium is not a stadium for only the wealthy people, it's a stadium for the Hong Kong people, irrespective of demographic, age or walk of life," he said. Lee also said the new stadium, with its large capacity, frees up other venues for lesser known artists. "In the past, really popular singers will do their concerts at Hong Kong Stadium and they'll take up like 20 days, because they can sell out 20 days. So now they're moving to a bigger stadium and it really frees up a lot of other venues as well."

Music to fans' ears with latest BTS releases
Music to fans' ears with latest BTS releases Two members of K-pop supergroup BTS were released from South Korea's mandatory military service on Tuesday and announced they wanted to start performing again "as soon as possible", prompting a fan frenzy. BTS, South Korea's most lucrative musical act, has been on a hiatus since 2022 while its seven members complete their military service. Hundreds of fans gathered at a site near the two army bases where band leader RM – recently named "Favorite K-pop Artist" at the American Music Awards – and singer V were separately discharged. Cheers broke out as they stepped out of vehicles and hugged, with RM playing a quick song on the saxophone as V stood next to him smiling, holding bunches of flowers. "What we want most right now is to perform again," RM, still wearing his army uniform, said after his discharge. "We're working hard on the new album so we can return to the stage as soon as possible." RM said there had been "many difficult and painful moments" during his 18 months of military service. "Since returning, I've grown closer with my father and old friends – many of whom had already completed their military service," he added. V said military service was "a time for me to reset and rebuild both my body and mind". "Now that I've done that, I truly want to run straight to ARMY as soon as possible," he said, referring to the band's official fandom name. This week, four BTS members will complete their service. Two were discharged last year, and the final member, Suga – who has been working as a social service agent for alternative non-active duty service – will be released later this month. Hybe, the band's agency, had urged fans not to go to the discharge location, citing safety concerns. Flouting the warning, dozens gathered outside V's military base, eagerly awaiting the return of their star. (AFP)
