Blackpink names upcoming world tour ‘Deadline', with 18-show stadium run across Asia, North America and Europe (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 — Blackpink's upcoming world tour now has a name — Deadline — as the group prepares to reunite for their first stadium run in three years.
Yesterday, the group posted a 30-second teaser on YG Family's official X account, showing block letters spelling out 'Deadline' rising from a pool of pink glitter.
Dramatic music plays in the background before the clip ends with the full tour name reveal.
The 18-show run will reunite the group's four members after they spent the past year focusing on solo projects.
Jennie released Ruby, Lisa launched Alter Ego, Rosé debuted Rosie, and Jisoo unveiled Amortage.
'By next year, I think I would just keep releasing music and get together with the girls. I can't wait to share with the girls what I've been doing,' Lisa told Rolling Stone in its Musicians on Musicians issue last year.
Blackpink announced the tour in February, marking their first world tour since Born Pink in 2022.
The tour will begin in Seoul before continuing with four North American shows in Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago and New York in mid-July.
The group will also perform at Tokyo Dome in Japan in mid-January 2026.
It is unclear if Blackpink will release new music before the tour.
Speaking to Variety in May after launching her collaboration with Bose, Lisa said, 'We're all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the Blinks. We can't wait to see them.'
Blinks are the official name for Blackpink's fanbase.

Fugitive capybara caught by Chinese zoo after 2 months on the run
Capybaras have become popular attractions at zoos worldwide in recent years. (EPA Images pic) SHANGHAI : Officials have captured the last member of a runaway capybara gang that escaped from a zoo in eastern China two months ago, a statement said today. The missing male rodent, named 'Doubao' – 'Bean Bun' in Chinese – absconded from an enclosure at the Yangzhou Zhuyuwan Scenic Area along with two other capybaras in early April. Doubao remained at large for weeks after his companions were caught by zoo officials. 'The runaway child has returned home!' the zoo wrote in a social media post. The capybara – a rodent the size of a six-year-old child – walked into a humane trap early this morning and was returned to his enclosure by zoo staff. Despite spending two months on the run, Doubao gained weight and his fur was still 'smooth and glossy', the zoo said. 'It looks like he was doing well out there!' it added. Capybaras are native to South America but in recent years have become popular attractions at zoos worldwide, with the semi-aquatic rodents becoming unlikely darlings of the internet. The zoo said the trio made their April breakout when another capybara Bazong – 'Big Shot' – broke through a fence. Bazong was later found relaxing in a lake. It took seven or eight zoo staff to trap the second accomplice, Duoduo or 'Hide Hide', in a rubbish bin. But Doubao eluded capture, with the zoo in May issuing a mock wanted poster accusing him of engaging in a mass jailbreak. Officials at one point offered a reward of frozen fried rice, a carton of eggs, capybara-themed merchandise and lifetime entry to the zoo to anyone with information about his whereabouts. A zoo representative also repeatedly pleaded for Doubao's return on live streamed videos, today's statement said.

Chinese travel more during Dragon Boat holiday but spending lags
China's Dragon Boat Festival took place from May 31 to June 2, 2025 and was celebrated throughout the country with local dragon boat races. (EPA Images pic) HONG KONG : Chinese people travelled more over the three-day Dragon Boat holiday this year, but spending remained below pre-pandemic levels, government data showed today, indicators that are closely watched as barometers of consumer confidence. Consumption in the world's second-largest economy has suffered amid sputtering growth and a prolonged property crisis, with uncertainty from the US-China trade war also weighing on consumer confidence. The latest data painted a mixed picture for China's consumer economy. Tourists took an estimated 119 million domestic journeys from Friday to Monday, up 5.7% from the same holiday period last year, according to the tourism and culture ministry. Overall spending over the period rose to ¥42.73 billion (US$5.94 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%, but the average amount spent per traveller was a little under ¥360 (US$50), according to Reuters calculations, remaining stubbornly below 2019 levels of around ¥410 per trip. The annual festival took place from May 31 to June 2 this year and is celebrated throughout the country with local dragon boat races. Many people take the opportunity to have short holidays, crowding train stations and airports around the country. Overall, more than 653.7 million inter-regional trips across all regions in China, which include tourist trips, were made during the three-day holiday, up 2.5% year-on-year, state media Xinhua reported today, and road travel was up 2.4% from last year with 597.3 million trips recorded. Cross-border journeys rose 2.7% to 5.9 million, with 231,000 foreign nationals entering the country visa-free during the holiday. China has been expanding its visa policy, with citizens of 43 countries granted visa-free access, while visa-free transit for up to 240 hours in China is available for 54 countries. Chinese also boosted spending on entertainment over the holiday, with cinema box office revenue reaching ¥460 million (US$63.9 million), surpassing last year's ¥384 million, according to data from online ticketing platform Maoyan. Tom Cruise's latest movie 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' topped charts, and generated ¥228 million, half of the total revenue during the holiday period, which was seen as a positive indicator for the upcoming summer season.
