Watch: BLACKPINK's Rose Just Made This Fan's Day, BLINKs Call It ‘Unforgettable'
After much anticipation, BLACKPINK finally made their return to the stage with the launch of their 'Deadline World Tour", and BLINKs couldn't be more thrilled. The first show kicked off on July 5 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, where Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rose lit up the stage with a series of their iconic hits. Alongside electrifying group performances, each member also delivered powerful solo sets, giving fans a taste of their individual artistry.
Rose performed her chartbuster APT., featuring Bruno Mars at the show. The track, released in October 2024 as part of her first solo album, Rosie, has broken numerous records, including several Billboard ones. During the show, the 28-year-old singer took things a notch higher by inviting a lucky BLINK on the stage.
As seen in a fan-made video, Rose, while singing APT, was seen inviting a fan onto the stage. The latter, who was clearly overjoyed, ran towards the idol and embraced her in a warm, tight hug. Rose reciprocated the love. She held the fan's hand and ran to the main stage while singing the hook of the song. Following this, Rose, the fan and the background dancers were seen dancing to the peppy beats of APT.
Fans, who saw the clip on social media, started reacting to it, with one saying, 'Imagine the honor that fan had to feel being on stage with the greatest kpop group of all time and the most influential kpop track in modern times" Another added, 'Omg this is so cute ROSÉ is so real for this." A different fan wrote, 'That must've been such an unforgettable moment for that fan. Rosé always knows how to make her shows extra special."
APT, a pop-rock and pop-funk song, marked Rose's first solo single in three years and her first release since departing from YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023. A collaboration between the BLACKPINK member and American pop star Bruno Mars, APT was a commercial success that spent 12 weeks at the number one position on the Billboard Global 200. It broke several records and won numerous awards at various shows.
Besides Rose, the other three members also performed some of the hits from their first solo albums. Jisoo performed a few selections from her EP Amortage, Jennie from her album Ruby and Lisa from her record Alter Ego.

Korean youth are turning innerwear into everyday fashion
Blackpink's Rosé and Ive's Jang Won-young are recently attracting attention with their 'underwearing fashion.' Hey, fellow trend-chasers! Imagine scrolling through your feed and spotting your fave K-pop idols casually strutting in lace tops that look like they belong in a drawer, not on the streets. That's the wild world of 'innerwearing' - where innerwear ditch the hidden life and become star players in outfits. Blackpink's Rose and IVE's Jang Wonyoung are total game-changers here, posting Insta pics in frilly camisoles and baby tees that scream "comfy yet cool." It's not just about shock value; it's a nod to that high-teen vibe where comfort meets quirky style. Think of it like how Bollywood divas sometimes rock bold crop tops - but with a Korean twist of effortless charm. And get this: this trend isn't new, but it's exploding now among the MZ crew (that's millennials and Gen Z, for the uninitiated), who are all about blurring lines between inner and outer wear. According to fashion historians, this lingerie-as-outerwear gig has roots going back centuries, evolving from rebellious t-shirts in the 1950s to today's body-positive statements. Witty, right? It's like your undies are saying, "Why hide when I can shine?" Sales Skyrocket: Comfort Wins Over Tradition Now, let's talk numbers - because who doesn't love some solid stats to back up the hype? E-Land World's women's innerwear brand has seen its homewear category sales explode by nearly 10 times from January to July 2025 compared to the same period last year. That's a massive jump, folks! As per industry reports, this surge is thanks to collections that mix lace, frills, and floral vibes into everyday pieces like cardigans and shorts. In Indian rupees, if we crunch it (assuming average category sales figures from similar brands), that's like going from around 50 lakh INR to a whopping 5 crore INR. Sacnilk reports similar booms in fashion retail, attributing it to youth-driven demands for practical yet playful attire. Industry experts note this isn't your old lingerie; it's all about real-deal comfort and utility, perfect for our fast-paced lives where you might go from brunch to binge-watching without a wardrobe change. Picture this: in India, where summers hit 40°C, wouldn't you want breathable layers that feel like a hug? It's humorous how something so private is now publicly owning the spotlight, proving that fashion rebellions can be both fun and functional. Sagging's Sneaky Comeback: From Streets to Screens Hold onto your belts - or don't, because sagging is creeping back into the scene! This trend, where pants hang low to flash a bit of innerwear, started in American hip-hop circles back in the 1990s and even got banned in some spots for being "too cheeky." Fast-forward to 2025, and it's getting a fresh spin in Korea. Remember that MBC show episode where group All Day Project's Tarzan layered up four pairs of pants and undies? Total mic-drop moment. While global data from Google Trends shows sagging interest peaking briefly in May 2025 before dipping, it's still bubbling up among creative youth as a playful nod to retro vibes. Think of it as the fashion equivalent of that one friend who always adds extra masala to everything - unexpected but oddly addictive. In Korean pop culture, it's tying into the broader innerwear-outerwear wave, with luxury brands borrowing boxer-short styles for women. But here's the wit: what was once seen as rebellious is now just another way to say "I'm comfy in my skin." According to fashion analysts, this resurgence aligns with a shift towards looser, more expressive fits, though it's not dominating like skinny jeans' comeback. For Indian youth, it's like remixing a salwar with low-waist jeans - cultural fusion at its funniest! Why This Trend Feels Like a Hug for the Soul Wrapping it up, this innerrwear-as-outerwear craze is more than a fad; it's a statement on freedom and fun in fashion. With celebs leading the charge and sales proving the point, MZ generations are rewriting the rules - one lace trim at a time. It's empowering, isn't it? Embracing what feels good over what's "proper." As we head into the rest of 2025, expect more twists, like micro-bottoms or baggy comebacks, keeping things fresh and relatable. So, next time you're outfit-planning, maybe let your undies peek out - who knows, it could be your next viral look!
