BLACKPINK has officially kicked off their massive new world tour, DEADLINE, and fans are still buzzing about the opening shows in Goyang, South Korea. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa sold out back-to-back concerts on July 5 and 6, drawing nearly 78,000 people across the two nights. Now, over a month later, the group has released a behind-the-scenes video that gives fans a closer look at the hard work, nerves, and excitement that went into those first performances.
The clip shows the members rehearsing tirelessly at the Goyang Stadium — practicing dance moves, checking their stage placements, reviewing outfits, and warming up their voices. While the polished final product makes them look like untouchable icons, the footage captures their very real worries backstage about performing in front of thousands. It highlights the mix of pressure and passion that drives them.
Two standout moments from the video have fans talking the most. At the end, the screen flashes with two powerful messages from the group: “BLACKPINK’s journey has only just begun” and “All gas, no brakes.” BLINKs have taken those words as a promise that the four stars are determined to continue as a group for years to come.
The shows also gave fans their first taste of JUMP, a new track the group debuted live during the opening weekend. The reaction was explosive, with the crowd screaming and singing along as BLACKPINK performed with raw energy. The video even captures some emotional moments where the members tear up, overwhelmed by the love and support of fans who have waited to see them back together.
According to YG Entertainment, the DEADLINE tour will stretch across 16 cities with a total of 31 shows, including stops in the United States and Europe. With such a huge schedule, the group is already proving once again why they remain one of the biggest forces in global pop.
Adding to the excitement, reports suggest BLACKPINK is gearing up to release a brand-new album in November. If true, it will mark their first full record in more than three years since BORN PINK in 2022 — making this comeback even more monumental for both the group and their fans.
