BLACKPINK Faces Fan Backlash Over Upcoming Tour Announcement
BLACKPINK has found itself in hot water after fans expressed their frustration regarding the group’s recent tour announcement. The excitement surrounding the tour quickly shifted to disappointment as loyal followers voiced their concerns across social media platforms.
An announcement made on May 23 by BLACKPINK’s official Twitter account revealed the tour’s name, "DEADLINE," accompanied by a basic graphic. While the tour is set to kick off in Goyang this July, many fans were hoping for more engaging content or a hint at a potential comeback. However, the lackluster teaser appears to have missed the mark for a significant section of the fanbase.
Many netizens have been eager for updates since it’s been quite a while since their last release, amplifying the discontent. Concerns have also been raised about the members’ current solo schedules, which hint at minimal rehearsal time ahead of the tour. This has led to worries about the group’s readiness to hit the stage.
Among the tweets expressing dissatisfaction, fans lamented, “go girl give us nothing,” highlighting the perceived lack of effort from the management, as many noted the graphics seemed recycled from previous promotions. Others took to Twitter with comments like, “Y’all need a new creative director,” criticizing the use of old themes without any fresh ideas.
As the criticism mounted, fans were vocal about what they truly desire—a new album with fresh tracks and ample promotional activity. One user pointedly asked, “Where is the new album with 15 new songs along with lots of promo?” while another joked about the recycled visuals, saying, “Not them recycling the Born Pink theme again, lmao.”
Despite the backlash, BLACKPINK remains a powerhouse in the K-pop industry. However, the road to their upcoming tour seems rocky as they navigate through fan expectations and mounting frustrations. Will the global sensation manage to win back their supporters before the tour begins? Only time will tell.
