BLACKPINK gives Filo BLINKS a concert to remember
It's been four years since the internationally famous K-pop girl group BLACKPINK last visited the Philippines and Filipino BLINKS, the collective name of their fans, have been eagerly waiting for them to come back.
BLACKPINK first visited the country in February 2019 for the “BLACKPINK In Your Area World Tour.” Several months after, the four-female group returned for a meet-and-greet event sponsored by an e-commerce brand.
“I'm sorry we haven't come back for four years. I'm pretty sure that the Philippines did not forget about us,” Rosé apologetically told fans on the first night of their sold-out two-day “Born Pink World Tour” concert at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan last weekend.
The much-anticipated concert was organized by Live Nation Philippines and presented by Globe.
Since they missed the South Korean quartet so much, the Filo BLINKS went all-out to show their love and support for the leading K-pop girl group. Of course, BLACKPINK Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa reciprocated these by giving their avid supporters a concert to remember.
Here are some of the official snaps from the concert released by YG Entertainment through the local concert producer Live Nation PH:
