How are we feeling, BLINKs? K-pop girl group BLACKPINK officially wrapped up their 11-month long Born Pink  world tour in a two-day concert in Seoul’s Gockeok Sky Dome on September 16 to 17. 

The sensational girl group electrified the stage with hits “Pink Venom,” “Pretty Savage”, “How You Like That,” and many more.

As they finally put an end to the Born Pink era, Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, and Lisa couldn’t help but be emotional as they reminisced about their entire tour journey. 

“One year ago, around this time, we started in Seoul, and one year later now, we got to wrap up the concert. So I’m happy to wrap up with good memories until the end,” Jisoo shared.

Meanwhile, Rose looked back on their first concert. “Our first-ever Seoul concert feels like it was just yesterday,” she said. “It feels like we’ve become one with BLINK, and although this is our last, it feels like we will be together forever.”

Then,  Lisa took the time to thank BLINKs, the group’s fandom, for their support. “To our BLINKs, it’s been over 2,596 days since we met. Thank you BLINKs for this amazing experience, and I really love you all. And thank you BLINKs for making my 20s shine.” she said.

Lastly, Jennie expressed her sentiments on the tour finale. “BLINKs, thank you for loving and cheering us on as always. We will work hard and continue to be BLACKPINK who always impresses,” she said. 

In the middle of a few performances, netizens noticed how Jennie seemed to have held back tears.

BLACKPINK’s achievements with Born Pink

With the final concert in Seoul, the Born Pink world tour now records a staggering total of 66 shows. In a span of 11 months, the four members traveled across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania to meet BLINKs.

In April, Touring Data reported that the Born Pink world tour became the highest-grossing tour by a female group in history. BLACKPINK accomplished an impressive milestone of having sold 366,000 tickets for the first 26 shows alone. With this, the K-Pop idols surpassed legendary acts such as Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, and TLC.

For the tour’s fourth show, Touring Data revealed that Born Pink has achieved another record as it becomes the first tour by a female act in Asia to surpass 200 million USD in ticket sales.

Showing off their global influence, BLACKPINK also writes their name down in history as the first artist to headline and sell out several stadiums across the world including Mexico, France, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore.

Born Pink: As if it’s BLACKPINK’s last concert

Amidst these momentous milestones, fans are extra sentimental with the Born Pink finale as the members’ contract with their agency, YG Entertainment, also comes to an end. 

Debuted in 2016, BLACKPINK marked their seventh debut anniversary in August 2023.  Which means their seven-year contract has also expired.

Numerous South Korean media outlets have reported that Lisa rejected two offers for renewal. However, YG Entertainment addressed the rumors stating: “We are still discussing contract renewals with Lisa. The rumors that are going around are nothing that is confirmed.”

As of writing, none of the BLACKPINK members have finalized their contract renewal yet— making fans keen and anxious of the group’s future activities.

BLACKPINK’s Rosé Stars in RIMOWA’s ‘Never Still’ Campaign Video

The BLACKPINK member is one of the global endorsers for RIMOWA and Rosé just got her own campaign video for the brand

Rosé has already established herself as a global superstar as a member of BLACKPINK and as a solo artist. So it’s no surprise that the “Gone” singer was chosen to be one of RIMOWA’s new global ambassadors. In a new campaign video for the brand, Roseanne Park reflects on what home means to her and it’s not what most people expect.

BLACKPINK Singer Rosé Reflects On What Home Means In New RIMOWA Campaign Video

On September 8, the renowned vocalist and fashion icon of BLACKPINK, Rosé, was introduced as the latest global ambassador for the prestigious luxury travel luggage brand, RIMOWA. This collaboration represents a seamless blend of style, opulence, and the spirit of exploration, echoing the unique individuality and worldwide influence embodied by both Rosé and the brand.

Following the initial buzz generated by this revelation, a carefully curated set of promotional visuals has been unveiled, culminating in a captivating campaign video that provides an intimate glimpse into Rosé’s interpretation of the concept of “Home.” This concept, much like her career, is fluid and ever-evolving.

Within the artistic framework of RIMOWA’s “Never Still” campaign, this video serves as a bridge between the campaign’s artistic essence and Rosé’s personal journey. She, as a multifaceted artist, constantly pushes the boundaries of artistry and self-expression.

As Rosé beautifully articulates in the campaign, home transcends mere physical space; it embodies a feeling, a connection, a collection of experiences, and a sense of familiarity that is forged through the eyes of a wanderer who carries fragments of her journeys within her. This collaboration not only showcases Rosé’s global appeal but also celebrates the essence of meaningful travel and the stories we accumulate along the way.

RIMOWA’s latest campaign also features athlete Lewis Hamilton and soccer prodigy Kylian Mbappé. All three celebrities received their own campaign video as part of the brand’s promotional releases.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Confesses Surprising Lazy Phone Habit

Jisoo admitted to fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé that she has a lazy phone habit

Jisoo of BLACKPINK openly admitted that she’s not one to frequently check her text messages. The “Flower” singer shared her lazy habit with fellow member Rosé. However, Jisoo had an interesting reason why she doesn’t give text messages much attention.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Admits Being Lazy About Checking Text Messages

In a recent episode of “MBTI Balance Game” on Jisoo’s YouTube channel “Happy Jisoo 103%,” both Jisoo and Rosé shared their MBTI personality types. It was confirmed that Jisoo is ISTP while Rosé is ENFP.

As part of their engaging conversation, they decided to read aloud the MBTI descriptions of each other’s personalities. Not surprisingly, it gave BLINKS an intriguing glimpse into their character traits. Rosé kicked off the insightful exchange, delving into the characteristics associated with Jisoo’s ISTP personality type.

At one point, Rosé read out loud that ISTP personalities “leave people on read and do not respond when they run out of things to say.” The “Gone” singer refuted the statement. “No, Jisoo is responsive to me; I don’t think this is you,” she said.

Interestingly, Jisoo disagreed with her fellow BLACKPINK member. “But I have lots of messages I haven’t read,” she said. This prompted Rosé to admit, “That’s the same with me too. Is that the trait of P?”

Although it’s not encouraged to ignore text messages, BLINKs loved the rapport between the BLACKPINK members. It’s clear that Jisoo and Rosé enjoy talking to each other and laughing about their similarities. With that in mind, we’re hoping that the girls continue to share interesting details about their personalities in the future.

In the meantime, BLACKPINK is gearing up for a new venture. On May 18, the group unveiled their new single “The Girls”. The song will be featured on the soundtrack of their mobile game, “BLACKPINK: The Game” which was released on August 23, 2023.

Rosé Discusses BLACKPINK Headlining Coachella 2023 and Performing Solo

Rosé is speaking out about BLACKPINK’s latest milestone as the headliners for COACHELLA 2023. The group’s main vocalist also discussed what she learned after releasing her solo album ‘R’.

Rosé Reveals Initial Reaction To BLACKPINK Being Chosen As COACHELLA 2023 Headliners

Roseanne Park recently collaborated with GQ Korea in a stunning pictorial. In the accompanying interview, the BLACKPINK member shared her initial reaction to the group being chosen to headline COACHELLA 2023.

“It really feels like a dream. When I first heard the news, I was speechless. I was so shocked. To us, it was a movie-like moment,” Rosé said.

Rosé Shares Personal Growth As A Solo Artist

Rosé also admitted that she learned a lot from working on a solo album and performing without Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa.

“To be honest, I myself didn’t know in the past. But now I definitely know. Would it be because I’m still learning?” she asked.

She further explained, “There’s definitely an image and complete version I have to show as BLACKPINK. Images that are more powerful and energetic. But when I’m solo, it’s a bit different. It’s mixed with a bit of boredom and there’s overall a lot of soft images.”

“In the past, I’d say ‘Rosé is Rosé,’ but not anymore. I’m gradually learning that I have to absorb and express a variety of images. It’s fun,” she concluded.

BLACKPINK is currently on the road for the BORN PINK World Tour. The group recently confirmed encore shows in selected cities in North America. The new dates will be in August this year.
