Lisa might be hyped for BLACKPINK’s upcoming DEADLINE World Tour, but some BLINKs aren’t having it. The group’s maknae recently jumped on Bubble to tease their preparations, telling fans, “We’re practicing hard” and “I can’t wait to see BLINKs!!” But her attempt to spark excitement quickly provoked skepticism.
Fans felt it came too late, calling it “damage control” for being mostly radio-silent until a few days before the concert. Some fans have felt that the group has only started communicating were tickets were on the line and just a few days before the tour kicks off. Unsatisfied fans weren’t shy about voicing bigger frustrations. Including the lack of new music releases, the lackluster tour promo, and the announcement of only one new track dropping on the same day as the first show.
With no official music video, no news about a full-group album, and only a handful of new moments to hold onto, some BLINks have been demanding much more. A stronger comeback campaign, more exciting teasers, or even dance practice videos could soothe some of the heartbreak, but right now, BLINKs are hoping YG and BLACKPINK step up big for DEADLINE.
