BLACKPINK officially reunited on stage, and their long-awaited return proved worth every second of the wait. Launching the DEADLINE World Tour in their home country of South Korea, the group delivered a spectacular opening night in front of a sold-out stadium. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa lit up the stage with signature energy and charisma. But what truly shook the crowd was the debut of a brand-new track, JUMP, teased during the final portion of the show.
Though not yet officially released, fans were quick to latch onto the electrifying sound, with its bold choreography and explosive delivery suggesting that it’s designed for live stages. All signs point to an imminent release, potentially in the coming week, though YG Entertainment has not yet confirmed details.
While the group’s comeback together was the main draw, the concert also served as a celebration of each member’s solo artistry. The setlist was packed with individual tracks that fans have been anticipating for months, if not years.
Jisoo performed Earthquake and Your Love, while Lisa hyped the crowd with New Woman and Rockstar. Jennie brought in Mantra, IE (way up), and like JENNIE, captivating with her charisma. Rosé rounded out the solo stages with 3am, Toxic ’till the End, and APT., leaving the crowd spellbound. While fans noticed that Jisoo and Lisa performed fewer solo songs than Jennie and Rosé, the group’s chemistry remained strong. They supported each other on stage, even playfully promoting each other’s tracks, showing how united they still are despite years of solo focus.
Of course, BLACKPINK’s legacy group tracks were part of the night as well. From their explosive debut hit BOOMBAYAH to the fierce anthem Shut Down, the concert was a powerful blend of nostalgia and new beginnings. With this show setting the tone for the rest of the tour, BLACKPINK has made it clear: they’re back, and they’re ready to own every stage they step on.
