Blackpink fans in Malaysia lament tour snub, turn ire on government censorship
Heartbroken Malaysian fans of Blackpink have blamed their government's censorious streak for the K-pop supergroup omitting to stop in Kuala Lumpur on their highly-anticipated world tour. Advertisement On Tuesday, the chart-topping and YouTube record-breaking quartet comprising Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rose, announced their first world tour since 2023 with shows scheduled across North America, Europe and Asia from July this year through to January 2026. The news threw Blinks – a term used to describe the group's most devoted fans – into a frenzy of ticket-buying for the first reunion of the band since they took time out to pursue solo projects. Bangkok, Jakarta, Singapore and Bulacan in the Philippines will be part of their Southeast Asia swing, but Malaysia was excluded from the line-up. 'I really think it is because our country is being difficult. Our authorities seem to always make it hard for international acts to come here,' said cosmetics salesperson Bobo, 30, who goes by one name. The Blink has followed the group since they debuted in 2016. Advertisement For Beverly Lim, 25, the omission of Malaysia means she has to put on hold her dream of seeing her idols in the flesh.

Lisa Joins Her Blackpink Bandmates With Her First Radio Smash
Lisa joins her Blackpink bandmates Jennie and Rose with her first hit on Billboard's Radio Songs ... More chart, as "Priceless" with Maroon 5 debuts at No. 45 this week. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 05: Lisa attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/FilmMagic) Lisa has enjoyed historic success on a handful of Billboard's radio tallies as a soloist. A few tunes from her debut album released under her own alter ego have reached the pop lists in the past few months, but until this week, she had never managed to appear on the all-style, all-encompassing Radio Songs chart. Thanks to her most recent collaboration, the Blackpink superstar finally lands on that list — and with her arrival, she joins several of her bandmates in a historic showing. Lisa earns her first hit on Billboard's Radio Songs chart this week alongside Maroon 5. The two musical acts launch "Priceless" at No. 45 on the 50-spot roster, which ranks the tracks that rack up the largest total number of audience impressions across all formats in the United States. Lisa is just the third K-pop solo female musician to appear on the Radio Songs chart. She's originally from Thailand, and not all of the music she's created can be classified as K-pop, but she is usually associated with that style due to her years as a member of Blackpink. The only two other solo women from that genre who have scored a hit on the Radio Songs tally are some of her Blackpink bandmates. Jennie became the first to do so when she joined The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp on 'One of the Girls.' That track spent just three frames on the Radio Songs chart and only climbed to No. 48. Rosé matched – and then surpassed – Jennie in this feat in late 2024 alongside Bruno Mars with 'Apt.' That catchy cut has skyrocketed to No. 4 in the 27 frames it has spent somewhere on the list. It still stands as the highest-rising hit ever by any K-pop musical artist. So far, only Blackpink singer Jisoo has missed out on this ranking. "Priceless" is quickly becoming a true radio smash in America, as the cut has now spent three weeks on both the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay tallies. This frame, it lifts to Nos. 19 and 11, respectively, on those rosters. Just last time around, it debuted at No. 29 on the Adult Contemporary roster, and this week, it pushes forward one spot. In each instance, the poppy collaboration reaches a new high point.
