Rose BLACKPINK Addresses Jakarta's Hot Air While Performing at GBK Stadium

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - While performing at the "BLACKPINK World Tour [BORN PINK]" concert which took place at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK) on Saturday (11/3) evening, the K-Pop group consisting of Rose, Jisoo, Jennie and Lisa admit that the air in Jakarta feels very hot.

"The air in Jakarta is so hot right now. We need more energy to perform," said Rose during their performance on the stage.

Rose also said that she believed that the hot air was caused by the energy from their fans, BLINKs (Blackpink's fanbase), who were very excited to see the concert.

"I'm sure it's thanks to your energy, and I'm happy with your energy. We really enjoy spending a lot of time here," she said.

Then, Rose also praised BLINKs unity which were very solid according to her and managed to make the stadium look like a sea of pink thanks to the lightstick that lights up.

In the concert promoted by iME Indonesia, BLACKPINK performed their hit songs starting from How You Like That, Pretty Savage, Whistle, Don't Know What to Do, Lovesick Girls, Kill This Love, to Pink Venom. Apart from performing as a group, Rose, Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa also performed individually.

With these songs, BLACKPINK has successfully rocked the GBK stadium. The four members and all the BLINKs present seemed to really enjoy the show, as if they never ran out of energy.

"I think this is the largest crowd that saw our concert," said Rose.

Jennie then tried to keep motivating BLINK's enthusiasm. She asked BLINKs to stand up and dance. In no time, the four members performed the song Ddu-du ddu-du, which was immediately greeted by thunderous hysterical screams from every corner of the stadium.

After the song, they performed Forever Young, Yeah Yeah Yeah, and closed with As If It's Your Last.

"Thank You!" all the members said in Indonesian when ending the concert. "See you tomorrow," they concluded.

"BLACKPINK World Tour [BORN PINK]" is the second time for BLACKPINK to hold a solo concert in Indonesia. Previously, they held the "BLACKPINK in Your Area World Tour" concert at ICE BSD Tangerang in 2019. At this concert, they performed in two days, namely Saturday (11/3) and Sunday (12/3).
