Blackpink make history at Wembley Stadium with record-breaking Deadline tour stop
The four members — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — now share the Wembley stage with icons like Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, BTS, and Oasis.
Fans were treated to two and a half hours of razor-sharp choreography, stadium-shaking hooks, and plenty of heart, as the group's sisterly bond beamed just as brightly as the stage lights, according to the BBC.
Lisa called the moment 'an absolute honour,' while Jennie admitted it still felt 'a little unreal,' and Rosé summed it up as 'a whole other level.'
The Wembley set capped off the European stretch of their Deadline world tour, which is hitting 31 dates in 16 cities, after starting in Seoul alongside the release of their rave-flavoured new single Jump.
That track has already made history on YouTube, pulling in 26 million views in just 24 hours, and the tour itself is on pace to smash Blackpink's own record for the highest-grossing tour by a female group, previously overtaking the Spice Girls in 2023.
The only other K-pop act to headline Wembley so far is BTS, making Blackpink's achievement even more groundbreaking.
The night kicked off in spectacular fashion with pyrotechnics, lasers, and a triple-punch of hits: Kill This Love, How You Like That, and Pink Venom.
Their choreography was all precision and power, with synchronised moves and smart camera tricks giving every fan in the stadium a close-up of their bias.
Each member brought her own flavour to the stage after a year of solo projects — Rosé with her Bruno Mars collab APT, Lisa with an acting turn in The White Lotus, Jennie with her cheeky viral hit Like Jennie, and Jisoo headlining the K-drama Snowdrop.
But the fan-favourite moments came when they reunited as the 'One True 4,' blasting through group anthems like Pretty Savage, Forever Young, Whistle, and the mega-hit DDU-DU DDU-DU.
The finale saw them tearing into Jump one last time, letting loose with playful antics before pulling into a group hug — eight thumbs in the air, declaring not just a comeback, but the start of Blackpink's next chapter.

#SHOWBIZ: BlackPink makes history at Wembley Stadium
LONDON: BlackPink proved once again why they are the biggest girl group on the planet, as they lit up Wembley Stadium last weekend. The K-pop queens made history as the first South Korean female act to ever headline the legendary venue, performing in front of a sold-out crowd of 70,000 screaming fans, as reported by BBC News. The four members — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — now share the same stage as icons like Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, BTS, and Oasis. Fans were treated to a two-and-a-half-hour show filled with superb choreography, stadium-shaking music, and plenty of heartfelt moments. The group's close bond shone just as brightly as the stage lights. Lisa called the moment "an absolute honour," while Jennie admitted it still felt "a little unreal," and Rosé summed it up as "a whole other level." The Wembley set marked the end of the European leg of their Deadline world tour, which covers 31 dates in 16 cities. The tour kicked off in Seoul with the release of their new track, 'Jump'. The single has already made history on YouTube, amassing 26 million views in just 24 hours. The tour itself is on track to break BlackPink's own record for the highest-grossing tour by a female group, a record they previously set in 2023 when they surpassed the Spice Girls. The only other K-pop act to headline Wembley is BTS, making BlackPink's achievement even more groundbreaking.

Saggy pants and waistbands: K-pop stars revive another Y2K fashion trend
Tarzzan of boyband All Day Project has been spotted multiple times layering underwear in contrasting prints, sometimes even matching them to his outerwear. Photo: Instagram/Tarzzan In today's K-pop scene, showing one's underwear is no longer likely to be a wardrobe malfunction. It is a fashion statement. A fashion trend known as sagging, where pants are worn low enough to reveal the waistband of one's undergarments, is making a comeback among young K-pop idols. The look was once popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, often associated with the Y2K era. Many from that time still remember it vividly. "I remember Justin Bieber always wearing his pants this way in paparazzi shots. I used to mimic the look, but it wasn't easy," said Park Jung-min, 34. "I walked uncomfortably." Back then, some South Koreans who disliked the trend jokingly said it looked like someone had pooped their pants. Many millennials of the time referred to it as the "poop-in-the-pants look".

Fashion icon Jennie of Blackpink embraced the look with a red cropped top and black parachute pants, finishing the outfit with matching red underwear that peeked out above her pants. Aespa's Karina and Giselle also styled their outfits to leave the elastic band or lace trim of their panties visible, a move that quickly went viral with fans. Natty of girl group Kiss of Life also joined the trend, posting a photo on the group's Instagram with her pants unbuttoned to reveal part of her underwear's waistband. But perhaps the boldest take on the look comes from Tarzzan of boyband All Day Project. Known for his experimental style, he's been spotted multiple times layering underwear in contrasting prints, sometimes even matching them to his outerwear. While it's clear that the trend is circulating among K-pop idols, not everyone is sold. 'If a celebrity wears it, it's fashion. If a regular person does it, it just looks weird,' reads one online comment under an article introducing the trend.

I'd think they lost their mind.' However, the broader 'underwear-as-fashion' movement seems to be gaining traction, especially when it comes to tops that resemble camisoles. On Instagram, Rose of Blackpink recently posted photos wearing a lace camisole, channeling the 'underwear, but make it fashion' vibe. 'We're seeing more Gen Z consumers embrace underwear not just for its function, but as a styling piece like Rose,' a fashion industry insider said. According to South Korean fashion firm E-Land World, sales from January to July in the homewear category of its women's lingerie brand Evelyn, which includes stylish, lingerie-inspired clothing, rose nearly tenfold compared to the same period last year. – The Korea Herald/ANN
