In an impressive feat, BLACKPINK, during their global tour, has earned the distinction of staging the highest-grossing concert by a group in history ($9.989M), surpassing the previous record held by BTS ($9.029M). The girl group didn't just stop there; they also set new records, including the highest grossing tour by a girl group, surpassing legendary bands like Spice Girls, TLC, and Destiny's Child. They became the first girl group to exceed $100 million in ticket sales, among other remarkable achievements.

As a blink myself I’m kinda disappointed with this tour..some of the performances weren’t worth paying that much to see..the only members who were giving or at least trying were Lisa and Rose..
I love Blackpink and I still really care about the members a lot but I’m not gonna lie it’s hard to just ignore everything that has not been going well.
At this point I just want the girls to pursue whatever they want the most.
