Listen up, Blinks! As official fans of Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa, and Jennie, we have to put out all the stops to make sure our next Blackpink concert would be the best one. The girls have achieved so much since their last concert in Manila. Technically, that was almost 3 years ago during the year 2019. At that time, Blackpink only had a few singles and extended plays under their belt. Their first official album was released at the wake of the pandemic titled, The Album. Now, the group is set to release their second album titled, Born Pink, as well as perform it in a world tour with Manila as a point of destination.
There’s still so much to unpack considering how long and overdue this return is. Whether you’re an OG fan or just starting to get into K-Pop, it’s important to do your research before spending a lot of money for a concert ticket. In the 2019 concert, they sold tickets at PHP 19,750 SRP. So, make sure you check off all of these pre-concert preps before heading to the Born Pink tour.
Purchase a light stick
Light sticks are a K-Pop staple. They’re the official merchandise of most K-Pop artists that are made specifically for concert use. Each light stick is different and has different lighting effects per part of the concert.
Learn the concert chants and dance moves
One key takeaway of a true blue Blackpink concert are the chants and dance moves you do as a collective. Either Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa, or Jennie will lead the crowd to perform with them, so you better know the words.
Visit either a Dior, Celine, Saint Laurent, or Chanel store
Each of Blackpink’s members are ambassadors of big luxury brands. Luckily, these brands have stores available for perusing here in the Philippines. You can check them out for the full experience.
Revisit their old albums and singles
To get in the concert mood, why not invite your friends for a Blackpink listening party. You can listen to Square One, Square Two, Kill This Love, As If It’s Your Last, and their previous albums.
Watch out for their comeback, Pink Venom
Of course, you’re gonna have to start memorizing and listening to their newest album, Born Pink. Their first song release, Pink Venom, is set to come out soon as per their individual social media accounts.
