Like the lyrics 'Shut Down', BLACKPINK is not back. They had never left the stage. Four artists who painted the world in their own way, in their respective positions. They took the stage again under the name of BLACKPINK.
The group Blackpink held Blackpink World Tour Deadline in Goyang' at the main stadium of Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi-do from the 5th to the 6th and met 78,000 fans for two days.
This performance drew more attention in that it was a stage where four members who grew up around the world as solo artists stood again under the name of Blackpink. In November 2023, BLACKPINK, which has built a new nest and focused on individual activities, re-engaged with its original agency YG Entertainment in about a year and 10 months and held a solo concert as a whole.
As such, fans' enthusiasm was already at its peak even before the start of the stage. Blinks dressed in matching clothes (fandom names) and global blinks from all over the world filled the stadium, and the black and pink-colored crowds formed a festival even before the concert began.
As soon as the prelude of the first song 'Kill This Love' rang out, Goyang Stadium was no longer a stadium. It instantly became the domain of BLACKPINK, and 'BLACKPINK in your area' was truly realized. The heat of this opening continued nonstop to 'Pink Venom', 'How You Like That', 'Playing With Fire', and 'Shut Down'. From the opening, Blackpink's activities over the past nine years have been covered, and the heat of the performance has become hotter than the heat wave.
It also features the members' "Pretty Savage", which is a perfect combination of fan chants, "Don't Know What To Do", which reminds us of our debut days, and "Stay", which featured the members' singing skills. BLACKPINK's sincerity toward fan BLINK was deeply ingrained in every element of the stage, including performances, sets, props, and lighting.

Jisoo touched the emotions with 'earthquake' and 'Your Love', while Lisa showed off her overwhelming energy with 'New Woman' and 'ROCKSTAR'. Jenny proved herself to be a world class solo with 'MANTRA' and 'LIKE JENNIE' and Rosé with '3AM', 'Toxic Till The End' and 'Apartment'. In particular, in 'LIKE JENNIE' and 'Apartment', all of the audience sang together and rang the scene. It was a moment when I realized that it was a world-class megahit song.
In order to enhance the audience's understanding, the explanation of the song was not forgotten. Before she began her solo career "Last year, it was a hard two weeks when I was working on it and I was going back to the evening flight. I was greedy, so I set up a session until that day. It's when I have a cold and my condition is not good. When I was wandering somewhere to go, I really needed a feeling of home. In the chorus part, "I want you to be my home"It says '. I hope it will be comforting for you as well," he said, introducing '3AM'.
After all the solo performances were over, Jisoo said "We showed our solo performances in order. How was it?" Isn't it so nice. While preparing for the group stage and solo stage this time, I was nervous that the tour became colorful because I was able to create various colors with my solo performance."

Blackpink's hit song, which resonated again following the new song, symbolized that their history was 'present progressive'. Fans cheered even more when the 'Boombaya' and 'Ddu-du-du' began, and the stadium was spectacular with a wave of singing and waving cheering sticks.

It was also impressive that it aimed for sustainable performances. Paper-pack bottled water 'Black Pink Water' was provided instead of plastic at the site, and booths were also set up to measure carbon emissions from the movement and accommodation of audiences or raise awareness of resource recycling. The sense of responsibility for the environment was also 'World Class'.
The fact that it was an outdoor performance on a summer day also went well with BLACKPINK. This is the first time that a K-pop girl group has held a solo concert at Goyang Stadium. Black Pink, which filled the number of 78,000 people on both days, placed elements that could only be enjoyed at outdoor performances with fire columns, fireworks, and fireworks everywhere, decorating the global festival mood such as 'Coachella'.
Not only the stage itself, but also the atmosphere of the site reminded me of the 'World Festival'. The members were also impressed by the fans who wore black and pink stage outfits or styled them in black and pink. Ji-Soo laughed, "Seeing you dressed up in the costume of \'Shut Down', you're amazing in this heat."

After that, the finale of the performance was decorated with 'Like Last' and 'Forever Young'. BLACKPINK's music and performance, which always burns the stage 'Like It's Last', will continue to be 'Forever Young'. For BLACKPINK, 'DEADLINE' does not exist.
Starting this day, BLACKPINK opened its 31st World Tour 'DEADLINE' in 16 cities. Performances will continue at major stadiums around the world, including Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, London, Tokyo, and Singapore.
