Safety hazard at BLACKPINK's DEADLINE concert? BLINKs enraged over fog and fire effects near artists and fans

The group's two-night run at Citi Field marked the end of their North American leg, but once again, fan concerns quickly followed. It seems no BLACKPINK concert goes by without criticism - whether aimed at the members or the tour's production. From the persistent "Lazy Jennie" accusations to overpriced tickets and unsynchronized group performances, the group has faced its share of backlash amid the praise. This time, however, the issue goes beyond fan dissatisfaction. The latest controversy has raised serious safety concerns - not only for the four members, Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo, but also for the fans standing very close to the stage.

One fan mentioned suffering eye irritation due to how close the effects were to the audience, while others reported similar discomfort and even considered seeking medical attention. we should demand yg to pay for our doctor visit cuz i was dying.. especially during ktl omg i was so scared Many pointed out that Jennie appeared visibly affected during the group's performance of JUMP, seen wiping her watering eyes onstage.

BLACKPINK becomes FIRST girl group to surpass 15 billion Spotify streams, fans say their ‘global domination is unmatched'
BLACKPINK is once again proving why they're one of the most powerful forces in global music. The K-pop girl group has officially become the first girl group in history to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify across all credits. It's a historic achievement made even more impressive by their minimal musical activity in recent years. What makes this milestone even more remarkable is that BLACKPINK achieved it with only one new track released in nearly three years: the digital single JUMP. The song received little promotion and unexpectedly became a viral hit. It's gaining momentum thanks to its inclusion in the group's DEADLINE World Tour performances. Despite the long break from active promotions, the group's entire discography has seen a major rise in streaming numbers. Both longtime fans and new listeners are rediscovering their iconic hits, contributing to a fresh surge in global attention.

They overtook HYBE's rookie group KATSEYE. BLACKPINK has now reached over 27 million monthly listeners. This is a strong indication of their lasting appeal and cross-generational fanbase. Their personal best still stands at 34,123,272 monthly listeners. With strong performance from JUMP and buzz surrounding a potential new album, the group is widely expected to surpass their own record in the coming months. BLACKPINK's JUMP shows staying power on Spotify's Global Top 10 While today's music scene is dominated by surprise drops and rapidly shifting chart dynamics, BLACKPINK's JUMP continues to dominate with staying power. The track has remained within Spotify's Global Top 10. It outlasted many newer releases that have briefly charted before disappearing. The group's ability to hold their ground amid intense competition is proof of both the strength of their brand and the loyalty of their global fandom, BLINKs. All eyes on BLACKPINK's next move As fans celebrate this incredible streaming feat, anticipation is building for what's next. Congratulations continue to pour in for BLACKPINK, as they set yet another record and prove once more that their reign is far from over. The group is currently impressing fans around the globe with their ongoing DEADLINE World Tour. With strong rumors of a new album swirling, many believe BLACKPINK is gearing up for a bold new chapter in their career.
