BlackPink finally had their first North American tour and it was absolutely amazing. For those who do not know BlackPink, here is a little background on this revolution girl group.
BlackPink is a 4-member group formed by YG Entertainment. The members consist of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa. They debuted on 8/8/2016 with “Boombayah” and “Whistle”. BlackPink’s debut was one of the most anticipated debuts ever since they are the first girl group to debut under YGE after 2ne1. Their hit song “Ddu Du Ddu Du” became the most viewed music video by a KPOP group on YouTube with over 600 million views.
My nephew came to the show and BlackPink to him is like BigBang to me. So, the feels were real, and the nervousness was understandable. To be able to see your ultimate bias group live is truly a once in a lifetime thing. I am very happy that I was able to experience this with him.
Before the concert, everyone got the enjoy BlackPink’s music videos. The fanchants were amazing and the entire atmosphere was just on FIRE. Suddenly, boom the lights goes off, the music got louder, and the screams were heard. The darkness was lit up with the ocean of pink from the Blink’s light sticks. It was time for BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!!!

Band6: Let me start off by saying that I was thrilled to see the Band 6 again!! I feel like I grew up with these guys. From seeing them start off in 2012 with BigBang’s Alive tour to following them on every journey with the YG Artists, the Band 6 is YGE. The Band 6 never fails to make the stage even better than it already is. Their art is so beautiful, and I’m so honored to have seen their growth as well.
Crazy: One thing about being a YG stan is that you stan EVERYONE and I mean even the band and backup dancers and as always, it is always a pleasure to see the backup dancers Crazy. They did an amazing job as always and being able to see them again is like just being back to go back and relive my memories with BigBang.
Bittersweet Moment: When Rosé did her solo and she sung Park Bom and Taeyang….my heart dropped, and I cried. It put me in my 2ne1 and BigBang feels. Being a YG stan and growing up with BigBang and 2ne1, Rosé solo pulled on my heart strings. It was so beautiful to see her sing her sunbae’s songs and she did a wonderful job. I never had the change to hear Park Bom sing “You & I” live before and Rosé did it with justice. When her solo was over, I finally felt the tears on my face. It was so beautiful. Words cannot truly describe it.
