The best fashion moments spotted at the Blackpink Deadline World Tour
Blinks assemble, as this comeback season finally has a deadline. Since the release of their debut album in 2016, featuring iconic tracks like'Whistle' and 'Boombayah' that topped major music charts worldwide, the supernova that is Blackpink has risen to unprecedented heights, and the rest, you can say, is history. From record-breaking solo hits to respective ambassadorships with fashion heavyweights, it's safe to say that the four members—Rosé, Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo—have all attained icon status. So when they decided to take a break as a group to focus on solo projects, it wasn't a goodbye—rather a 'see you later'. Over the two years and eight months (yes, we've been counting), each member took the time to embark on their own creative journey. Jennie dropped her long-awaited solo album, Lisa added acting to her resumé with The White Lotus , Rosé gave us duality with new music like her viral collaboration with Bruno Mars, and Jisoo made Blissoo an official thing. Naturally, their loyal fans supported every step whilst patiently waiting for the quartet's reunion. Cue: the Deadline World Tour. With music festivals, raves, and gigs in full swing across the globe, the group kicked off their seven-month tour in Seoul on 5 July with a sell-out opening night that had Blinks singing their hearts out. With power-packed performances of the old and the new, from 'Playing with Fire' to 'Shut Down' and the debut of their brand new song titled 'Jump', it's safe to say that the quartet came back stronger than ever. But dynamic performances aside, the first two shows at the Goyang Stadium also saw a stellar range of high-octane fashion moments. From Lisa's custom Catholic Guilt look to Jisoo's stunning Didu moment, best believe every look so far has been a serve. With sixteen more shows to go, one thing's for sure: the girls are just getting started. Till then, here are the most delicious, elaborate, and downright audacious fashion moments spotted at Blackpink Deadline World Tour so far. @catholicguilt_clothing 1 / 8 Lisa in custom Catholic Guilt @gyoureekim 2 / 8 Rosé in custom Gyouree Kim @thedeadlinetour 3 / 8 Jennie in custom Yiyounggyeoung @sooyaaa__ 4 / 8 Jisoo in custom Didu @didu_official 5 / 8 Lisa in custom Didu @sooyaaa__ 6 / 8 Jisoo in custom Grace Elwood @didu_official 7 / 8 Rosé in custom Didu @didu_official 8 / 8 Jennie in custom Didu

Blackpink: The K-pop phenomenon is back on tour – DW – 07/03/2025
They're more than a South Korean girl group: As Blackpink kick off their "Deadline World Tour" on July 5, a look at how Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa break records and set global trends. "Blackpink in your area": This tag line sending many K-pop fans wild with excitement. Blackpink is more than a girl group — they're a real movement, a lifestyle, a cultural phenomenon. Since their debut in 2016, the South Korean girl group Blackpink has risen to become one of the top pop exports worldwide — and they are not just traveling the globe as musicians. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa take on alternating roles as fashion icons, brand ambassadors and influencers, too. Their "Deadline World Tour," which will whisk them across the globe on the big stage, is kicking off on July 5. Blackpink was founded by YG Entertainment — one of the biggest companies in the K-pop industry. As is common in South Korea, the young women underwent years of training in singing, dance, languages and stage presence. Their debut album, a double-single featuring the songs "Boombayah" and "Whistle," came out in 2016. The combination of electronic beats, spoken singing, catchy refrains and lyrics in Korean and English was a sensational hit — even outside of Asia. With their music, elaborate music videos and a very distinct style concept, Blackpink quickly rose to become one of the most successful K-pop groups of all times. Their breakthrough epitomizes the "Korean wave" (in Korean hallyu) — the international rise in South Korean culture since the 2000s. Despite Blackpink's success and the impending comeback of the boy group BTS, this music genre hasn't been booming as much in recent years, according to Adam Zulawnik, a researcher and teaching specialist in Korean Studies at the University of Melbourne. But he adds that the South Korean entertainment industry is extremely resilient and innovative — not least thanks to special support from the government. The aim is not only to boost the economy but especially to pursue the national strategy for so-called soft power: This sector is meant to help reinforce South Korea's positive image through cultural exports such as K-pop or Netflix series. Unlike many other groups, Blackpink features just four members — and each one has their own special vibe. Jennie, who grew up in New Zealand, is known for her fashion style and her role as a brand ambassador for Chanel. Jisoo is the group's visual icon and is also a successful actress. Rosé was born in New Zealand, grew up in Australia, and enthralls audiences with her soulful voice and melancholic style. Lisa, originally from Thailand, enthuses audiences with her precise dancing skills and international social media presence. This diversity has enabled the group to appeal to a broad variety of target groups worldwide — both through their music and visually. "Many South Korean artists have, indeed, either transcended or perhaps even discarded a certain 'Korean'ness' in favor of a more general artistic style," Adam Zulawnik told DW. "A prime example would be Blackpink's Rosé and Bruno Mars' fairly recent hit single 'APT,' a tune that you would hardly associate with traditional forms of K-pop or anything Korean save the title/theme and Bruno Mars enthusiastically waving a South Korean flag mid shot — in fact, many netizens saw the more general 'pop/rock' style as refreshing." Blackpink is famous for more than their music — they're also big-name fashion and beauty influencers. All four members collaborate with international luxury brands, including Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent or Celine, alongside cosmetic brands like MAC or Hera. Fans imitate their looks all over the world. The overlap between pop culture and fashion industry stems from the South Korean entertainment industry's comprehensive marketing strategy. Zulawnik lists some examples, "from BTS meals at McDonald's in Australia to 17 branded snacks in the People's Republic of China!" He adds that this is particularly visible in Southeast Asia — one of the primary markets for the K-pop industry — with various collaborative projects between K-pop groups and local brands and businesses. A crucial component of Blackpink's success is their strong online presence. The girl group runs one of the top YouTube channels in the world. Over 90 million people follow them for their music videos, rehearsal clips and a peek into their lives. On platforms such as Instagram, TikTok or the Korean fan platform Weverse, the group maintains close contact with their fan community — the "Blinks." This digital proximity to their community amplifies their impact, making them appear approachable without losing their glamour factor. For a long time, boy groups dominated the South Korean music business. Blackpink has permanently changed that image. They show that girl groups can enjoy international success without conforming to stereotypical roles. They beam self-confidence, professionalism and creativity — making them role models for many artists-to-be. They have also influenced many other K-pop groups with their formula of a small group with distinct profiles, a limited number of successful releases and global public relations. The so-called "Blackpink effect" is now an established concept in the sector, meaning the four young women are remaining an influential force for pop culture. And fans will be able to see that for themselves on the upcoming "Deadline World Tour."

Fans complain about Blackpink 2025 world tour announcement: "Blackpink is not in my area"
Global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK has officially announced their highly anticipated 2025 world tour, including U.S. stadium dates and stops across Asia and Europe. The chart-topping quartet—Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo, and Jennie—will kick off their summer tour in Seoul, South Korea, before making their way to major cities like Los Angeles, New York, and London. YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk previously teased the group's comeback, stating in July 2024: "There will be a highly anticipated comeback from BLACKPINK, and it will also be the year BLACKPINK starts their world tour." Photo: Livenation Since their 2016 debut, BLACKPINK has dominated the global music scene with hits like "Boombayah," "DDU-DU DDU-DU," and "Kill This Love." They also made history as the first Korean girl group to perform at Coachella in 2019. Their last tour, Born Pink World Tour (2022-2023), shattered records with 66 shows and 1.8 million tickets sold. While excitement surrounds BLACKPINK's 2025 world tour, many fans have expressed frustration and disappointment over the limited tour locations, as the group is once again performing in the same select countries they have historically visited. BLINKs from regions like South America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia feel left out, calling for more diverse tour stops. Additionally, some fans are discontented with the lack of new group music, as BLACKPINK has not released any collective material since their 2022 Born Pink album. Instead, the focus has been on solo projects, with members Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo pursuing individual careers. Tickets for BLACKPINK's world tour go on sale on Thursday, February 27, via
