BLACKPINK is back in the spotlight, and the excitement is palpable! As the iconic K-pop group wraps up their European tour with a stunning performance at Wembley Stadium, fans are buzzing with reactions from legendary UK girl groups and a special surprise from Jennie for Lisa.
On the second night of their electrifying concert at Wembley, BLACKPINK celebrated their European journey in style. The members enjoyed a cozy dinner at Ola Korean, a BBQ spot on Shaftesbury Avenue, where Lisa and Jisoo kicked things off, leaving their signatures on the restaurant’s wall. Jennie and Rosé later joined them, marking a heartwarming moment for the quartet after their last concert in December 2022.
During their show, BLACKPINK paid homage to iconic British girl groups like All Saints, Girls Aloud, and the Spice Girls. Rosé described the experience of covering “Wannabe” as a dream come true, delighting fans with a nostalgic encore that resonated across generations. The reactions from groups like Suga Babes and Little Mix were enthusiastic, with members taking to social media to express their admiration.
Following their London concert, BLACKPINK will take a two-month break before kicking off their final leg of the tour in Asia, starting with a concert at the National Stadium in Taiwan on October 18. This hiatus seems strategically timed as the group reportedly works on their upcoming mini-album, which fans have eagerly awaited since YG Entertainment’s recent announcement.
In a surprising update, YG founder Yang Hyun-suk revealed that Treasure’s new mini-album, “Love Pulse,” will be released on September 1, featuring four retro-inspired tracks. Meanwhile, Baby Monsters’ second mini-album, “We Go Up,” has been postponed to October 10, creating a buzz among fans eager for new music.
As BLACKPINK prepares to utilize their downtime to finalize their mini-album, industry insiders speculate that a pre-release single could drop as the tour continues in Asia. On August 18, Lisa returned to Seoul, greeted warmly by fans at Incheon International Airport. Her stylish airport look, featuring a yet-to-be-released Dior bag, sparked speculation that it might be a gift from Jennie, who was recently spotted at a DJ event in Ibiza.
Jennie also shared glimpses of her recent adventures in Milan, visiting the stunning Milan Cathedral and indulging in sweet treats at Grom. Her posts showcased a blend of cultural exploration and personal moments that fans adore.
As the excitement builds for BLACKPINK’s next moves, fans are left wondering what surprises the group has in store. What will this iconic quartet unveil next?
