Despite the bad weather on the second day of the concert in New Jersey (USA), BLACKPINK still ‘burned out’ under the heavy rain.

BlackPink performed under heavy rain.

BLACKPINK completed the last leg of their Born Pink tour at major US stadiums. The group started in New Jersey this month and will hold large-scale concerts in Las Vegas on August 18, San Francisco on August 22, and Los Angeles on August 26.

Foreign media reported that BLACKPINK dyed New York and New Jersey pink; at least 100,000 people attended the YG girls’ concert held in New Jersey on August 12 and 13.

At the same time, the BLACKPINK pop-up store “Born Pink Pop-up Experience in New York City” was opened in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York, USA. Ezekiel Lazanski (10 years old), a primary school student, excitedly shared with the media that he has been waiting for the concert since May.

When superstars hold concerts, consumption will explode and boost the local economy; this ‘concert economy’ effect has also been confirmed in BLACKPINK’s world tour.

Many celebrities who came to see BLACKPINK’s concert, such as NFL superstar Tom Brady, Ladies Code’s Ashley, attended the first day. The image of America’s football star Tom Brady coming to see the concert with his daughter Vivien Leigh also became a hot topic. Soyeon, Yuqi, Minnie, and Miyeon of the girl group (G)I-DLE joined together on the second night.

On the second night’s stage, the members announced that the show might have to be stopped due to bad weather. Unfavorable weather in New Jersey is expected as the area will be stormy for most of the week. Moreover, MetLife is an outdoor stadium, so it is inevitable that BLACKPINK’s performances will be affected to some extent. Fortunately, BLACKPINK ended the concert successfully despite the pouring rain.

Before that, BLACKPINK’s concerts in Bangkok (Thailand) and Hanoi (Vietnam) had rain on the second day, but not as heavily as in the US. The girls will perform more on the main stage and less on the extended side stages.

Having impressed netizens with her positive attitude in heavy rain weather, Jennie also drew attention with her professional moment.

During the Pretty Savage performance, Jennie’s microphone malfunctioned, and she had to go down to the stage to fix the problem. The female idol quickly returned to the stage and completed the choreography.

In addition, during the performance, Jennie’s area railing almost fell. Originally, Jennie wanted to interact with fans under the stands, but unexpectedly, the railing of the lifting platform was not fixed; fortunately, there was no danger.

Netizens also commented that the company was superficial in the staging and did not guarantee the artist’s safety. “The stage was set up too carelessly, loosely, not sure at all; fortunately, Jennie didn’t lean on the railing,” “It’s heartbreaking. If Jennie didn’t find out in time, I don’t know what would have happened. Please be responsible for going to YG” – BLACKPINK fans criticized the way YG’s management company worked.
